The density of the cube of wood placed in the tub of water is determined as 700 kg/m³.

<h3>Specific gravity of the wood</h3>

The specific gravity of the wood is the fraction of the entire wood volume below water surface.

Height below water surface = 20 cm - 6 cm = 14 cm

S.G = 14 cm/20 cm

S.G = 0.7

<h3>Density of the wood</h3>

The density of the wood is calculated with respect to density of water.

S.G = ( density of wood) / (density of water)

0.7 =  (density of wood) / (1000 kg/m³)

density of wood = 0.7 x 1000 kg/m³

density of wood = 700 kg/m³

It takes 3 minutes to make toast in a 1500 watt toaster. Calculate how much work is done by the toaster.
REY [17]

Answer: 2.7 x 10^5 joules

Explanation:

Given that:

Time taken = 3 minutes

convert time in minutes to seconds

(Since 1 minute = 60 seconds

3 minutes = 3 x 60 = 180 seconds)

Power of toaster = 1500 watt

Work done by the toaster = ?

Recall that power is the rate of work done per unit time

i.e Power = work/time

work = Power x Time

Work = 1500 watt x 180 seconds

Work = 270000J

Place the result in standard form

270000J = 2.7 x 10^5J

Thus, 2.7 x 10^5 joules of work is done by the toaster.

A particle moves in a straight line and has acceleration given by a(t) = 12t + 10. Its initial velocity is v(0) = −5 cm/s and it
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The position function is s_{t}=2t^3+5t^2-5t+9.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration a =12t+10

Initial velocity v_{0} = -5\ cm/s

Initial displacement s_{0}=9\ cm

We know that,

The acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of the particle.

a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}

The velocity is the rate of change of position of the particle

v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}

We need to calculate the the position

The acceleration is

a_{t} = 12t+10

\dfrac{dv}{dt} = 12t+10

a_{t}=dv=(12t+10)dt

On integration both side

\int{dv}=\int{(12t+10)}dt

v_{t}=6t^2+10t+C

At t = 0

v_{0}=0+0+C

C=-5

Now, On integration again both side

v_{t}=\int{ds_{t}}=\int{(6t^2+10t-5)}dt

s_{t}=2t^{3}+5t^2-5t+C

At t = 0

s_{0}=0+0+0+C

C=9

s_{t}=2t^3+5t^2-5t+9

Hence, The position function is s_{t}=2t^3+5t^2-5t+9.

ValentinkaMS [17]
Choices A, B, and D are false statements.

I think choice-C is trying to say the right thing, but it
might have gotten copied incorrectly.

Electric fields and electric forces both increase as the distance
decreases, and decrease as the distance increases.

Estimate and determine the order of magnitude of the circumference of the Earth in miles and the speed of a sailboat in miles pe
solmaris [256]

Answer:

= 1000 hours

Explanation:

Earth's circumference is 10⁴ mile

speed of a sailboat is 10¹ mile/hour

distance = speed × time

10⁴ = 10¹  × t

t = 10⁴ / 10¹

t = 10³

= 1000 hours
