When the truck's weight is added to the boat, the boat sinks 5 cm deeper,
and displaces additional water whose weight is equal to the weight of the
truck.

The volume of the additional displaced water is

             (3.9 m) x (6.3 m) x (5.0 cm)

         =  (3.9 m) x (6.3 m) x (0.05 m)  =   1.2285 m³ .

The weight of that much water is the weight of the truck.

          Mass of 1 liter of water  =  1 kilogram

          1.2285 m³  =  1,228.5 liters  =  1,228.5 kg of water.

          Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

                      = (1,228.5 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)  =  12,039 Newtons.

                                                                  (about 2,708 pounds)

The speed of sound is measured to be 340 m/s on a certain day.
ziro4ka [17]
Answer: 1,224 km/h

Explanation:

To do this, we pick the first unit and convert
Picking m first and converting to km:
Since we're converting from a non-prefix to a prefix, we divide the value by the prefix were taking it to. In this case, kilo = 10³ which means we're going to divide our value by 1000 to convert it from m to km
340 m/s ÷ 1000 = 0.34 km/s
Now, let's convert our seconds to hour:
We'll need to calculate how many hours is equivalent to one second first;
1 hr = 60×60 seconds
X hr = 1 second
*Cross multiply*
1 × 1 = X × 60 × 60
1 = 3,600 X
X = 1 / 3,600
X = 2.778×10⁻⁴ hour
So, in the place of "1 Second", we're going to be inserting 2.778×10⁻⁴ hour instead
0.34 km / s = 0.34 km / 2.778×10⁻⁴ hour
(0.34 / 2.778×10⁻⁴) km/hour
1,224 km/h.
340 m/s = 1,224 km/h

How much heat is needed to melt 13.74 kg of silver that is initially at 20°C?
salantis [7]

Answer:

Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J

Explanation:

As we know that melting point of silver is

T = 961.8 degree C

Latent heat of fusion of silver is given as

L = 111 kJ/kg

specific heat capacity of silver is given as

s = 240 J/kg C

now we will have

Q = ms\Delta T + mL

\Delta T = 961.8 - 20

\Delta T = 941.8 degree C

now from above equation

Q = (13.74)(240)(941.8) + (13.74)(111 \times 10^3)

Q = 3.1 \times 10^6 + 1.53 \times 10^6

Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J

Jake calculates that the frequency of a wave is 500 hertz and that the wave is moving at 1,250 m/s. What is the wavelength of th
Neko [114]
Frequency (f) = 500 hz (SI)
Velocity (V) = 1250 m/s (SI)
Wavelength (Lambda) = ? meters

v =  \lambda \times f
1250 =  \lambda \times 500 \\ \lambda = 1250 \div 500 \\ \lambda = 2.5 \: meters
