Try catching a ball while "giving" with the ballI, pulling your hands toward your body. Then, try catching a ball while keeping your hands still. Hit water in a tub with your full palm. After the water has settled, hit the water again by diving your hand with your fingers first into the water. (Your full palm represents a swimmer doing a belly flop and your diving hand represents a swimmer doing a dive.) Explain what happens in each case and why. Which orientations would you advise people to avoid and why?

Lurking alligators. An alligator waits for prey by floating with only the top of its head exposed, so that the prey cannot easily see it. One way it can adjust the extent of sinking is by controlling the size of its lungs. Another way may be by swallowing stones (gastrolithes) that then reside in the stomach. The figure shows a highly simplified model (a "rhombohedron gater") of mass 125 kg that roams with its head partially exposed.The top head surface has area 0.180 m2. If the alligator were to swallow stones with a total mass of 1.8% of its body mass (a typical amount), how far (in mm) would it sink? Number i Units
Take some water with a straw and put a few drops on plastic sheet. Move one of the drops close to another one with your straw. What happens when two drops meet?
A kids rocket team launches one smaller rocket through a guide tube 1.7 m long. The rocket has a mass of 450 g and the exhaust pressure in the tube provides a constant net force of 265 N. I already answered part (a) I just need help with part (b) A. How fast will the rocket be moving when it exits the tube? 44.5 m/s answer The kids rocket team now launches the rocket from a baseball outfield so in lands ontop of a new parking structure, 15 m above launch point and 32 m (horizontally) from the launch point. Unfortunately, tilting the launch tube greatly increases the friction, slowing the rocket. B. What is the minimum launch speed (neglecting air resistance) so that the rocket will just barely make it to the edge of the roof?
Review. The first stage of a Saturn V space vehicle consumed fuel and oxidizer at the rate of 150 104 kg/s with an exhaust speed of 2.60 101 m/s. (a) Calculate the thrust produced by this engine. (b) Find the acceleration the vehicle had just as it lifted off the launch pad on the Earth, taking the vehicles initial mass as 3.00 106 kg.
Balancing carefully, three boys inch out onto a horizontal tree branch above a pond, each planning to dive in separately. The third boy in line notices that the branch is barely strong enough to support them. He decides to jump straight up and land back on the branch to break it, spilling all three into the pond. When he starts to carry out his plan, at what precise moment does the branch break? Explain. Suggestion: Pretend to be the third boy and imitate what he does in slow motion. If you are still unsure, stand on a bathroom scale and repeat the suggestion.
You are part of a team in an engineering class that is working on a scale model of a new design for a life vest. You have been asked to find the mass of a piece of foam that will be used for flotation. Because the piece is too bulky to fit on your balance, you break it into two parts. You measure the mass of the first part as 128.3 0.3 g and the second part as 77.0 0.3 g. a. What are the maximum and minimum values for the total mass you might reasonably report? b. What is the best estimate for the total mass of the foam? Hint: Propagation of uncertainty is described in Appendix A.
A 93.1 kg man sits on the stern of a 7 m long boat. The prow of the boat touches the pier, but the boat isn’t tied. The man notices his mistake, stands up and walks to the boat’s prow, but by the time he reaches the prow, it’s moved 2.59 m away from the pier. Assuming no water resistance to the boat’s motion, calculate the boat’s mass (not counting the man). Answer in units of kg. please help
Аpplication 1. There is an issue with the toilets at school. If the water is coming out at 5.0 m/s, how much water flow (kg/s) would be necessary to suspend a 95 kg person?
Would it be possible for two different objects that have the same shape and the same mass, and one of the objects sinks while the other floats?
A hippopotamus is napping under water with only the end of its snoot above the surface. It has a mass of 1100 kg and a volume of 1.0 m3. How much force in Newtons does the hippo exert on the ground? (fresh water, density 1g/cm3)? A. 10 N B. 100 N C. 1,000 N D. 1,100 N E. 10,000 N
A fish rests on the bottom of a bucket of water while the bucket is being weighed on a scale. When the fish begins to swim around, does the scale reading change? Explain your answer.
Air enters the front of a jet engine at 250m/s. If the intake area is 0.8m2, and the air density(at a height of 5000m) is 0.7 kg/m3, what is the mass flow rate of air into the engine.The air has 2% fuel (by mass) added to it, and after combustion the hot gases exit the rear ofthe engine at 1300m/s. Calculate the thrust of the engineIf the engine is moving forwards at 250m/s, what power is it developing?
