<span>In summary, density and specific gravity are properties used to help identify minerals. Density is a measure of the mass of a certain volume of the sample. Specific gravity is a unitless measure, and it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of an equal volume of water.</span>

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

0.67 seconds

8.576 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2.23=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2.23\times 2}{9.8}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.67\ s

Time taken by the stunt woman to drop to the saddle is 0.67 seconds which is the time she will stay in the air.

Speed of the horse = 12.8 m/s

Distance = Speed × Time

⇒Distance = 12.8×0.67

⇒Distance = 8.576 m

Hence, the distance between the horse and stunt woman should be 8.576 m when she jumps.

Why do the pipes in a steam-heating system need to be insulated?
qaws [65]

Answer:

1. Increase Efficiency: Insulating the condensate or hot water return lines reduces heat loss from the water returning to the boiler. The hotter the water returning to the boiler is, the quicker it is to convert back to steam, which takes less energy to accomplish.
