An astronaut on Earth notes that in her soft drink an ice cube floats with 9/10 of its volume submerged. If she were instead in

a lunar module parked on the Moon where the gravitation force is 1/6 that of Earth, the ice in the same soft drink would float:A) with more than 9/10 submerged. B) with 9/10 submerged.C) with 6/10 submerged.D) totally submerged.

Answer:

B) with 9/10 submerged

Explanation:

m = mass of ice cube

\rho = density of soft drink

V = Volume of soft drink displaced

ice cube floats in the soft drink when the force of buoyancy on it balances its weight. Force of buoyancy acting on the cube in upward direction is same as the weight of the soft drink displaced. hence we can write

weight of ice cube = weight of soft drink displaced

mg = \rho V g

m = \rho V

we see that the acceleration due to gravity cancel out both side and hence it does affect as astronaut is on earth on in a lunar module.

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of ice block submerged om earth = 9 / 10

According to the floating principle

The weight of the body is balanced by the buoyant force acting on the block.

Let V be the total volume of the block and d be the density of ice and ρ be the density of soft drink.

So, V x d x g = 9 / 10 V x ρ x g

So g cancels out from both the sides.

If we place the ice cube in soft drink on the surface of moon, then the volume submerged remains same.

Given equal time periods, which statement is correct?
Mekhanik [1.2K]
The correct option is B.
Nuclear fission and fusion are two different types of nuclear reactions, through which energy may be obtained. Nuclear fission involves the splitting of a molecule into two different part in order to generate energy while nuclear fusion reaction involves the joining together of two elements in other to form one product. Nuclear fission generate much radioactive waste than nuclear fusion. The radioactive waste that is obtainable during nuclear fusion is less than 1% of that produce by nuclear fission.

A boy throws a 15 kg ball at 4.7 m/s to a 65 kg girl who is stationary and standing on a skateboard. After catching the ball, th
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

a)v_{f}=0.88m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the Momentum's conservation Law, before and after the girl catch the ball:

\\ p_{1}=p_{2}\\m_{ball}*v_{o.ball}+m_{girl}*v_{o.girl} = m_{ball}*v_{f.ball} + m_{girl}*v_{f.girl}        (1)

At the beginning the girl is  stationary:

v_{o.girl}=0m/s       (2)

If the girl catch the ball, both have the same speed:

v_{f.girl}=v_{f.ball}=v_{f}       (3)

We replace (2) and (3) in (1):

m_{ball}*v_{o.ball} = (m_{ball}+m_{girl})*v_{f} \\

We can now solve the equation for v_{f}:

v_{f}=\frac{m_{ball}*v_{o.ball}}{(m_{ball}+m_{girl})}=\frac{15*4.7}{15+65}=0.88m/s

A rabbit is moving in the positive x-direction at 1.10 m/s when it spots a predator and accelerates to a velocity of 10.9 m/s al
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

aₓ = 0 ,       ay = -6.8125 m / s²

Explanation:

This is an exercise that we can solve with kinematics equations.

Initially the rabbit moves on the x axis with a speed of 1.10 m / s and after seeing the predator acceleration on the y axis, therefore its speed on the x axis remains constant.

x axis

          vₓ = v₀ₓ = 1.10 m / s

          aₓ = 0

y axis

initially it has no speed, so v₀_y = 0 and when I see the predator it accelerates, until it reaches the speed of 10.6 m / s in a time of t = 1.60 s. let's calculate the acceleration

         v_{y}= v_{oy} -ay t

          ay = (v_{oy} -v_{y}) / t

          ay = (0 -10.9) / 1.6

          ay = -6.8125 m / s²

the sign indicates that the acceleration goes in the negative direction of the y axis

You may have noticed runaway truck lanes while driving in the mountains. These gravel-filled lanes are designed to stop trucks t
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The  coefficient of kinetic friction  \mu_k =  0.724

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  length of the lane is  l =  36.0 \  m

    The speed of the truck is  v  =  22.6\  m/s

     

Generally from the work-energy theorem we have that  

    \Delta KE  =   N  *  \mu_k *  l

Here N  is the normal force acting on the truck which is mathematically represented as

     \Delta KE is the change in kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

        \Delta KE =  \frac{1}{2} *  m *  v^2

=>     \Delta KE =  0.5  *  m *  22.6^2

=>      \Delta KE =  255.38m

        255.38m =    m *  9.8  *  \mu_k *   36.0

=>     255.38  =    352.8  *  \mu_k

=>   \mu_k =  0.724
