Captain Kiddo is trapped into her car, a 1967 DeTomaso Mangusta, windows rolled up, which sinks deep down into the ocean.

A) Will she have a better chance to escape by the window or the door? Why?

Captain Kiddo is on cargo ship that travels from the Atlantic Ocean to the Amazon River.

B) Will the ship sink or rise with respect to the waterline as it moves from the ocean to the river water? Why?

A large storage tank, open to the atmosphere at the top and filled with water, develops a small hole in its side at a point 11.6 m below the water level. Assume the tank is large so the velocity of the water at the top of the tank is zero. The rate of flow from the leak is 2.53×10−3 m3/min.

(a) Determine the speed at which the water leaves the hole.

(b) Determine the diameter of the hole (in millimeters).

Thank you!

I assume it is some kind of quantity. Google only made things more confusing.

I get that it has something to do with circuits.

I also get what a discrete charge is. In fact, I thought charges were, by definition, discrete - because each individual proton/electron/hole contributed one unit of charge.

A) 81 m/s

B) 48 m/s

C) 130 m/s

D) 13 m/s

In the figure, a T bar ski tow pulls a skier up a hill inclined at 10 degrees above horizontal. The skier starts from rest and is pulled by a cable that exerts tension T at an angle of 30 degrees above the surface of the hill. The mass of the skier is 60kg and the effective coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the snow is 0.100. What is the maximum tension in the cable if the starting acceleration is not to exceed 0.400g ?

A charge of -1.0 µC is located at the origin, a second charge of 1 µC is located at x = 0, y = 0.1 m, and a third charge of 11 µC is located at x = 0.2 m, y = 0. Find the forces that act on each of the three charges.

q = -1.0 µC
2.475  N î + .9  N ĵ
q = 1 µC
.885  N î + .885  N ĵ
q = 11 µC
.885  N î + .885  N ĵ

(values for q=-1 is correct but all other values are wrong please show all work)

A large boat with 91.44 m in length and 42.672 m in width is carrying 1,360,777.11 kg of coal along the river with a 2.7432m draft (the height from waterline to bottom of the boat). What is the draft and weight of the boat when the boat is empty (no coal)? What is the draft and weight of the boat if the boat hits a wave and looses 10 tons of coal? Treat the boat as a rectangular cylinder. Use university introductory physics techniques.
