Problem #4: Imagine you are standing on the edge of a cliff, holding two golf balls. You drop one ball straight off the cliff.

You throw the second ball at the same time with an initial horizontal velocity (no viy). Which ball will hit the ground first? Draw a model and explain why using your knowledge about freefall... more

For a submarine to stay submerged, it must be neutrally buoyant, which means it is maintaining a careful balance between its weight and the buoyant force of water pushing it toward the surface.

So it says that the enclosed volume was 977.606 m^3 and that we need to assume the density of the water is 1000 kg/m^3. What I did was977.606 *1000=977606and then I multiplied it times the assumed... more
