Aflat bottomed boat is 2.5 m long and 1.5 m wide with sides 1.0 m high. it carries 5 people, as it floats on a pond. the total mass of the boat and people is 1400 kg (a) what is the total weight of the boat and people? (b) what is the buoyant force required to keep the boat and people afloat? (c) what volume of water must be displaced to support the boat and its load? (d) how much of the boat is underwater, i. e. what height of the boat must be submerged to produce a volume equal to that of the displaced water?

How are momentum and impulse related? impulse is a whim to do something, while momentum keeps it going impulse is another name fore instantaneous momentum the impulse acting on and object is equal to the change of momentum it causes. the impulse that acts on and object is the momentum that results.

Comedians like to joke that the reason we haven’t been visited by intelligent life from elsewhere in the universe is that aliens have been monitoring earth’s broadcasts of intellectually embarrassing tv programs, like gilligan’s island, fear factor, the jersey shore, and the jerry springer showand so consider us far too primitive to merit a visit. let’s check the assertion that aliens could have been receiving them. tv programs are broadcast at a frequency of about 100mhz with about 100kw of total power in 30frames per second, which emanatesroughly uniformly in all directions. assume that interstellar space transmits these broadcasts without attenuation. no matter how smart they are, aliens would require at least one photon per frame to interpret our signals. findthe number of photons per unit time per unit area reaching a receiver on a possible planet in the nearest star system, which is about 4 light-years away (a light-year is the distance light travels in a year). if aliens aimed a receiver or detector directly at earth, how big (in diameter) would it have to be to receive a photon per frame

Two polarizers are oriented at 40∘ to each other and plane-polarized light is incident on them. if only 16 percent of the light gets through both of them, what was the initial polarization direction of the incident light?
