Imagine a large block that sinks in a tub of water. you hold a much smaller block of the exact same material in your hand, above the water. when the small block is dropped into the tub it will a.) sink b.) float c.) float or sink depending its characteristics

This problem has been solved! see the answera non-uniform fire escape ladder is 6.0m long whenextended to the icy alley below. it is held at the top by africtionless pivot, and there is neglibible frictional force fromthe icy surface at the bottom. the ladder weighs 250n, and it'scenter of gravity is 2.0m along the ladder from the bottom. amother and child of total weight 750n are on the ladder 1.5m fromthe pivot. the ladder makes an angle θ with the horizontal.find the magnitude and direction ofa) the force exerted by the icy alley on the ladderb) the force exerted by the ladder on the pivotc) do your answers in part a and b depend on the angle?

A1000-kg weather rocket is launched straight up. the rocket motor provides a constant acceleration for 16-s, then the motor stops. the rocket altitude 20-s after launch is 510-m. you can ignore any effects of air resistance. a. what was the rocket’s acceleration during the first 16-s? b. what is the rocket’s speed as it passes through a cloud 5100-m above the ground?

Two resistors r1 and r2 may be connected either in series or parallel across an ideal battery with emf ε. we desire the rate of energy dissipation of the parallel combination to be 8.75 times that of the series combination. if r1 = 105 ω, what are the (a) smaller and (b) larger of the two values of r2 that result in that dissipation rate?
