you nose out another runner to win 100.000 m dash. if your total time for the race was 13.800 s and you aced out the other runne

Your average speed was

(100 m) / (13.8 s) = 7.25 m/s .

If you finished 0.001s ahead of him, then at your average speed, that corresponds to

(7.25 m/s) x (0.001 s) = 0.00725 m

That's 7.25 millimeters ... about 0.28 of an inch !

NOTE:. I think this is only valid if your speed was a constant ~7.25 m/s all the way.

Determine the volume displaced and then calculate the density of this 54 g sample of brass.

Answer:

DETAILS IN THE QUESTION INSUFFICIENT TO ANSWER

Explanation:

Assuming the liquid to be water ,

the density $d_{w}$ of water is : $1000kgm^{-3}=1gcm^{-3}$

Buoyant force exerted by a liquid on an object with $V_{imm}$ of it's volume immersed is :

$F_{B}=V_{imm}*d_{l}*g$

where ,

$F_{B}$ is the buoyant force
$d_{l}$ is the density of the liquid
$g$ is the acceleration due to gravity

Thus at equilibrium:

$m_{brass}*g=V_{imm}*d_{l}*g\\m_{brass}=V_{imm}*d_{l}\\54=V_{imm}*1\\V_{imm}=54cm^{3}$

from these , we get the density of brass to be $1gcm^{-3}$

which is not possible

A constant force of 45 N directed at angle θ to the horizontal pulls a crate of weight 100 N from one end of a room to another a

Rasek [7]

Answer:

$W=173.48J$

Explanation:

information we know:

Total force: $F=45N$

Weight: $w=100N$

distance: $4m$

vertical component of the force: $F_{y}=12N$

-------------

In this case we need the formulas to calculate the components of the force (because to calculate the work we need the horizontal component of the force).

horizontal component: $F_{x}=Fcos\theta$

vertical component: $F_{y}=Fsen\theta$

but from the given information we know that $F_{y}=12N$

so, equation these two $F_{y}=Fsen\theta$ and $F_{y}=12N$

$Fsen\theta =12N$

and we know the force $F=45N$ , thus:

$45sen\theta=12$

now we clear for $\theta$

$sen\theta =12/45\\\theta=sin^{-1}(12/45)\\\theta =15.466$

the angle to the horizontal is 15.466°, with this information we can calculate the horizontal component of the force:

$F_{x}=Fcos\theta$

$F_{x}=45cos(15.466)\\F_{x}=43.37N$

whith this horizontal component we calculate the work to move the crate a distance of 4 m:

$W=F_{x}*D\\W=(43.37N)(4m)\\W=173.48J$

the work done is W=173.48J

What have psychologists learned about perception from optical illusions ?

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Explanation:

That an optical illusion somehow interferes with the way we see things. Even simple illusions can completely fool us. If you search out the term, you'll see all kinds of them.

Most critically we see one thing and know another to be true. But knowing the truth doesn't help us. We still see and believe the truth of the illusion.
