- A spherical vessel used for deep-sea exploration has a radius of 1.50 m and a mass of 1.20 104 kg. To dive, the vessel takes oil mass in the form of seawater. Determine the mass the vessel must take on if it is to descend at a constant speed of 1.20 m/s, when the resistive force on it is 1 100 N in the upward direction. The density of seawater is equal to 1.03 103 kg/m3.arrow_forwardMolecules in air in the atmosphere are attracted by gravitational force of the earth. Explain why all of them do not fall into the earth just like an apple falling from a tree.arrow_forwardSo this is a big problem, it has parts A through G.

More than one statement may be correct. (a) Light moves through a substance called the ether. (b) The speed of light depends on the inertial reference frame in which it is measured. (c) The laws of physics depend on the inertial reference frame in which they are used. (d) The laws of physics are the same in all inertial reference frames. (e) The speed of light is independent of the inertial reference frame in which it is measured.arrow_forwardYou are on the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction in the Magic kingdom at Disney World. Your boat rules through a pirate battle, in which cannons on a ship and in a fort are firing at each other. While you are aware that the splashes in the water do not represent actual cannonballs, you begin to wonder about such battles in the days of the pirates. Suppose the fort and the ship are separated by 75.0 m. You sec that the cannons in the fort are aimed so that their cannonballs would be fired horizontally from a height of 7.00 m above the water. (a) You wonder at what speed they must be fired in order to hit the ship before falling in the water. (b) Then, you think about the sludge that must build up inside the barrel of a cannon. This sludge should slow down the cannonballs. A question occurs in your mind: if the cannonballs can be fired at only 50.0% of the speed found earlier, is it possible to fire them upward at some angle to the horizontal so that they would reach the ship?arrow_forward
