Answer: c. 25.50%

Soil porosity refers to the amount of pores, or open spaces present between the soil particles. Soil porosity is an important property of soil. It allows the absorption of water and air through the particles of soil. The loose soil will have separated particles of soil hence, will have high porosity. The dense and compact soil particles will have less porosity because compaction decreases the pores inside the soil. Sand is a soil which has particles finer than gravel and coarser than silt. The particles of sand remains loose hence, it will exhibit particles of small grain size with low porosity and high drainage. Therefore, the porosity of sand sample is 25.50%.

Based on the data given, in what direction will the car accelerate?

skad [1K]

Vertical forces:
There is a force of 579N acting upward, and a force of 579N
acting downward.
The vertical forces are balanced ... they add up to zero ...
so there's no vertical acceleration.
Not up, not down.

Horizontal forces:
There is a force of 487N acting to the left, and a force of 632N
acting to the right.
The net horizontal force is

(487-left + 632-right) - (632-right - 487-right) = 145N to the right.

The net force on the car is all to the right.
The car accelerates to the right.

An object has the acceleration graph shown in (Figure 1). Its velocity at t=0s is vx=2.0m/s. Draw the object's velocity graph fo

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

We may notice that change in velocity can be obtained by calculating areas between acceleration lines and horizontal axis ("Time"). Mathematically, we know that:

$v_{b}-v_{a} = \int\limits^{t_{b}}_{t_{a}} {a(t)} \, dt$

$v_{b} = v_{a}+ \int\limits^{t_{b}}_{t_{a}} {a(t)} \, dt$

Where:

$v_{a}$ , $v_{b}$ - Initial and final velocities, measured in meters per second.

$t_{a}$ , $t_{b}$ - Initial and final times, measured in seconds.

$a(t)$ - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

Acceleration is the slope of velocity, as we know that each line is an horizontal one, then, velocity curves are lines with slopes different of zero. There are three region where velocities should be found:

Region I (t = 0 s to t = 4 s)

$v_{4} = 2\,\frac{m}{s} +\int\limits^{4\,s}_{0\,s} {\left(-2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt$
