Explanation:

Distance traveled by motorist =(15.0m/s)t

Distance traveled by policeman =1/2(2.00m/s2)t2

(a) Intercept occurs when 15.0t =t2or t=15.0s.

(b) x(officer)=1/2(2.00m/s2)t2= 225m

According to Archimedes’ principle, the mass of a floating object equals the mass of the fluid displaced by the object. Use this
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Part a)

\rho = 0.55 g/cm^3

Part b)

\rho_L = 1.49 g/cm^3

Part c)

Since we know that the base area will remain same always

so here the length and width of the object is not necessary to obtain the above data in such type of questions

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that when cylinder float in the water then weight of the cylinder is counter balanced by the buoyancy force

So here we know

buoyancy force is given as

F_b = \rho_w V_{sub} g

F_b = (1 g/cm^3) (30 - 13.5) Ag

F_b = 16.5 Ag

Now we know that the weight of the cylinder is given as

W = \rho (30 cm)A g

now we have

\rho (30 cm) A g = 16.5 A g

\rho = 0.55 g/cm^3

Part b)

When the same cylinder is floating in other liquid then we will have

F_b = \rho_L (30 - 18.9 )A g

so we have

\rho_L (11.1) Ag = 0.55(30) Ag

\rho_L = 1.49 g/cm^3

Part c)

Since we know that the base area will remain same always

so here the length and width of the object is not necessary to obtain the above data in such type of questions

The conservation of energy principle applies to a. all systems. b. open systems. c. closed systems. d. Ideal gas systems.
Ainat [17]

Answer:closed systems

Explanation:

A closed system is one in which matter does not enter or leave the system but there is exchange of energy between the system and its environment. In a closed system, the principle of energy conservation applies. The principle of energy conservation states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but is converted from one form to another. An example of a closed system is a reaction vessel whose lid is closed.

A classroom is about 3 meters high, 20 meters wide and 30 meters long. If the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3, what is the mass of
Deffense [45]

Answer:

the mass of the air in the classroom = 2322 kg

Explanation:

given:

A classroom is about 3 meters high, 20 meters wide and 30 meters long.

If the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3

find:

what is the mass of the air in the classroom?

density = mass / volume

where mass (m) = 1.29 kg/m³

volume = 3m x 20m x 30m = 1800 m³

plugin values into the formula

  1.29 kg/m³   =  <u>      mass    </u>

                             1800 m³

mass =  1.29 kg/m³  ( 1800 m³ )

mass = 2322 kg

therefore,

the mass of the air in the classroom = 2322 kg
