The rectangular boat shown below has base dimensions 10.0 cm × 8.0 cm. Each cube has a mass of 40 g, and the liquid in the tank

has a density of 1.0 g/mL. How far has the boat sunk into the water?

When boat is sunk into the liquid the net buoyancy on the boat is counterbalanced by weight of the boat

So here weight of the boat = Buoyancy force

let say boat is sunk by distance "h"

now we can say

$F_b = \rho * V * g$

$F_b = 1000*0.10 * 0.08 * h * 9.8$

now by above force balance equation we can write

$m*g = F_b$

$0.040 * 9.8 = 1000 * 0.10 * 0.08 * h * 9.8$

$0.040 = 8h$

$h = 5 * 10^{-3} m$

so boat will sunk by total 5 mm distance

A car drives toward the right over the top of a hill, as shown below. An illustration of car at the top of a hill pointing right

Sav [38]

Answer: X

Explanation:

This situation can be illustrated as a car in circular motion (image attached).

In circular motion the acceleration vector $\vec{a}$ is always directed toward the center of the circumference (that's why it's called centripetal acceleration).

So, in this case the arrow labeled X is the only that points toward the center, hence it represents the car's centripetal acceleration

Two large parallel conducting plates carrying opposite charges of equal magnitude are separated by 2.20 cm. Part A If the surfac

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

5308.34 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Surface density of each plate (σ) = 47.0 nC/m² = $47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2$

Separation between the plates (d) = 2.20 cm

We know, from Gauss law for a thin sheet of plate that, the electric field at a point near the sheet of surface density 'σ' is given as:

$E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}$

Now, as the plates are oppositely charged, so the electric field in the region between the plates will be in same direction and thus their magnitudes gets added up. Therefore,

$E_{between}=E+E=2E=\frac{2\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}$

Now, plug in $47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2$ for 'σ' and $8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$ for $\epsilon_0$ and solve for the electric field. This gives,

$E_{between}=\frac{47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2}{8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m}\\\\E_{between}= 5308.34\ N/C$

Therefore, the electric field between the plates has a magnitude of 5308.34 N/C

A variable-length air column is placed just below a vibrating wire that is fixed at both ends. The length of the air column, ope

pogonyaev

Answer:

The speed of transverse waves in the wire is 234.26 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of wire = 129 cm

Speed of sound in air = 340 m/s

First position of resonance = 31.2 cm

We need to calculate the wavelength

For pipe open at one end and closed at other, there is node at closed end and an anti node at open end for 1st resonance.

At 1st resonance,

$L=\dfrac{\lambda}{4}$

$\lambda=4\times L$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=4\times31.2\times10^{-2}$

$\lambda=1.248\ m$

We need to calculate the frequency of sound in pipe

Using formula of frequency

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}$

Put the value into the formula

$f=\dfrac{340}{1.248}$

$f=272.4\ Hz$

We need to calculate the node distance

For the wire, there are 3 segments, so 4 nodes

Node-node distance ,

$L=\dfrac{l}{3}$

$L = \dfrac{129}{3}$

$L=43\ cm$

We need to calculate the wavelength of the wire

Using formula of length

$L=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}$

$\lambda=L\times 2$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=43\times2$

$\lambda=86\ cm$

We need to calculate the speed of the wave

Using formula of frequency

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}$

$v=f\times\lambda$

Put the value into the formula

$v=272.4\times86\times10^{-2}$

$v=234.26\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of transverse waves in the wire is 234.26 m/s.

A golfer starts with the club over her head and swings it to reach maximum speed as it contacts the ball. Halfway through her sw

lara [203]

Answer:

a) parallel to the ground True

c) parallel to the ground towards man True

Explanation:

To examine the possibilities, we propose the solution of the problem.

Let's use Newton's second law

F = m a

The force is exerted by the arm and the centripetal acceleration of the golf club, which in this case varies with height.

In our case, the stick is horizontal in the middle of the swing, for this point the centripetal acceleration is directed to the center of the circle or is parallel to the arm that is also parallel to the ground;

Ask the acceleration vector

a) parallel to the ground True

b) down. False

c) parallel to the ground towards True men

d) False feet

e) the head. False
