Answer:

The cork:

C) floats at the same height

Explanation:

The law of floatation states that an object will float when it displaces its own weight of fluid in which it floats e.g. the weight of the object is equal to the displaced liquid. With this definition it is clear that the cork will float at the same height because the evacuated air has little or no effect on the cork floating on the surface of the incompressible liquid.

A man pushes his child in a grocery cart. The total mass of the cart and child is 30.0 kg. If the force resisting the carts moti
-BARSIC- [3]

The force applied by the man is 60 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's second law, which states that:

\sum F = ma (1)

where

\sum F is the net force acting on the child+cart

m is the mass of the child+cart system

a is their acceleration

In this problem, we have:

m = 30.0 kg is the mass

a=1.50 m/s^2

And there are two forces acting on the child+cart system:

  • The forward force of pushing, F
  • The force resisting the cart motion, R = 15.0 N

Therefore we can write the net force as

\sum F = F -R

where R is negative since its direction is opposite to the motion

So eq.(1) can be rewritten as

F-R=ma

And solving for F,

F=ma+R=(30.0)(1.50)+15.0=60 N

Last year a baseball player made 63 errors. This year he made 42. What percent decrease was there in the number of errors commit
Crank

Answer:

33.33 %

Explanation:

given,

error last year = 63

error this year = 42

percent decrease in the error = ?

to find the percentage difference in the error formula used is

   = \dfrac{difference}{original}\times 100

   = \dfrac{63-42}{63}\times 100

   = \dfrac{21}{63}\times 100

   = 33.33 %

Percentage decrease in the number of error is equal to 33.33%.

A 50 g tennis ball travels at a velocity of 15 m/s, hits a basketball with a mass of 600 g that is stationary on a frictionless
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

1.75 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

(50 g) (15 m/s) + (600 g) (0 m/s) = (50 g) (-6 m/s) + (600 g) v

v = 1.75 m/s
