The specific gravity of the object’s material is 5.09.

<h3>To calculate the specific gravity of the object:</h3>

Weight difference = 9 - 7.2 = 1.8 N = Buoyant force of water

Buoyant Force in water(Fb) = density of water x g x volume of the   body(Vb)

1.8 = 1000 x 9.81 x Vb

Vb = 1.8/9810 cubic meter

Now, in the air;

Weight of body = mg = 9 N

Mass of body,m = 9/9.81 Kg

So,

Density of body = m/ Vb

= 9/9.81 ÷ 1.8/9810

= 5094.44 kg per cubic meter

The specific gravity of body = density of body ÷ density of water

= 5094.44 ÷ 1000

= 5.09

Therefore, Specific gravity of body = 5.09

A string is attached to a ball that has a mass of 0.11 kg. A student pulls up on the string so that the ball accelerates upward
enot [183]

Answer:

T=+1.133N

Explanation:

Tension and weight are forces that have opposite directions

Weight is negative (downward)

W=m*g= 0.11kg*(-9.8m/s^2)

W= -1.078N

Tension is possitive (upward)

The total force will be the sum of both (the difference taking in consideration the direction)

Ft= T+W

Also the total force is the product of the mass due to acceleration:

Ft=m*a

Ft= +0.11kg*0.5m/s^2

Ft=+0.055N (upward)

Tension will be the difference between Ft and W:

T= Ft-W

T=+0.055N-(-1.078N)

T=+1.133N

A train travels north at a speed of 50 m/s.
Gala2k [10]

The apparent velocity is B) 48 m/s north

Explanation:

Here we have a problem of relativity of velocities.

In fact, the train is travelling north at a speed of

v_t = 50 m/s

where this velocity is measured with respect to the ground.

At the same time, a passenger on the train is walking towards the rear (so, south) at a velocity of

v'=2 m/s

where this velocity is measured with respect to the train, which is in motion in the opposite direction.

Therefore, the apparent velocity of the passenger with respect to an observer standing on the ground is:

v=V_t - v' = 50 - 2 = 48 m/s

And the direction is north, since this number is positive.
