Answer:

It will sink

Explanation:

An object in the water can float only if its density is lower than the density of the water.

In fact, for an object completely immersed in water, there are two forces acting on it:

- Its weight, W=mg=\rho_o V g, downward, where \rho_o is the density of the object, V its volume and g the gravitational acceleration

- The buoyant force, B=\rho_w V g, upwards, there \rho_w is the density of the water

We see that when the density of an object is larger than the density of the water, \rho_o > \rho_w, the weight is greater than the buoyant force, W>B, so the object sinks.

In this case, the rock has a density of 1.73 g/cm3, while water has a density of 1.0 g/cm^3, so the rock will sink.

dexar [7]

Answer:

t = 25 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 115 m

Initial speed, u = 4.2 m/s

Final speed, v = 5 m/s

We need to find the time taken in increasing the speed.

We know that,

Acceleration, a=\dfrac{v-u}{t} ....(1)

The third equation of kinematics is as follows :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\\text{Put the value of a in above equation}\\\\v^2-u^2=2\times \dfrac{v-u}{t}\times d\\\\\because (a^2-b^2)=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\(v-u)(v+u)=\dfrac{2\times (v-u)d}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{2d}{v+u}\\\\\text{Putting all the values}\\\\t=\dfrac{2\times 115}{4.2+5}\\\\t=25\ s

Hence, it will take 25 seconds to increase the speed.

zhenek [66]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

Force on each hand is 196.22 N

Force on each foot is 95.8 N

Explanation:

In order to get a better understanding of this question let us explain some concepts

Normal Force:

We can define normal force Fn as that type of force which makes a 90 degree angle with the surface on which it is exerted.

Torque:

We can define torque as the moment of forces that tends to produce or cause rotation

From the question we are given that

Weight of body is (W) = 584 N

The normal force on both hands (Ha) = ?

The normal force on both legs (Lg) = ?

Looking at the diagram the person is at equilibrium so

                 584 = Ha + Lg

an also this mean that torques acting on the body is balanced

         So,   0.410 Ha  = 0.840 Lg

    Making Lg the subject of formula in the equation above we

   Lg = 0.4881 Ha

 Considering the first equation and replacing Lg with this recent equation we have

                      584 = Ha + 0.4881 Ha

          Therefore Ha = 392.44 N

This value obtained is  for both hands for each hand we divide by 2

Therefore we have for each hand = 392.44/2 =196.55 N

Since we have been able to get the force on both hands we can substitute it in to the equation where we made Lg the subject of formula and we have

             Lg = 0.4881 ×  392.44

                  = 191.22 N

The value above is the force on both legs to obtain the force on each leg we have

                  191.22/2 = 95.8 N.

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

the direction of acceleration of the vehicle is the same direction of its velocity of car

s acceleration has the opposite direction to the car speed.

Explanation:

The initial acceleration of the car can be calculated with

          v = v₀ + a t

          a = (v-v₀) t

       

indicate that the initial velocity is zero (v₀ = 0 m / s)

         a = v / t

         a = 300 / t

the direction of acceleration of the vehicle is the same direction of its acceleration movement.

When the car collides with the wall, it exerts a force in the opposite direction that stops the vehicle, therefore this acceleration has the opposite direction to the car speed. But your module must be much larger since the distance traveled to stop is small
