3 0

Explanation:

Take a measuring cylinder and fill it with a certain amount of water. Measure this amount of water.

Place the paper clip in the filled measuring cylinder. You will notice that the water level has gone up. When we place the paper clip in the cylinder the volume of the paper clip gets added to the volume that was present in the cylinder.

The volume of the paper clip will be the final volume of water with the paper clip - The initial volume of water without the paper clip.

Any irregularly shaped object's volume can be determined by this method.

How far will a runner travel if she had an average speed of 10 km/hour and runs for 2.1 hours?
Rasek [7]
10 Km.
S= Speed
D= distance 
T= time

S= d/t
but since you are solving for "d" the equation is d=st so you plug in 10 km/h for speed and 2.1 hours for time and just multiply them. The hours cancel out so you are left with 10km.

An electric fan is running on HIGH. After fan has been running for 1.1 minutes, the LOW button is pushed. The fan slows down to
madam [21]

Answer:

ωi = 15.4 rev/sec

Explanation:

Since the movement of the fan is rotating, we are thus dealing with Rotational motion. In rotational motion, for angular speed to take place also means angular acceleration is also occurring.

angular acceleration = α = (change in speed)/(change in time)

angular acceleration = α = Δw/Δt = (ω - ωi) /(t- t₀) ..........(equation 1)

                                      α =  (ω -ωi) /(t- 0)

                                      α =  (ω-ωi) /t

                                      ωi  =  ω - αt ......................................(equation 2)

where ωi is the initial angular speed.

We replace the values for ω, t and α

ωi = 105 rad/sec - ( 4.4 rad/sec² )(1.85s) = 96.86 rad/s = 15.415747788 rev/sec

What is the formula for lithium and chlorine?
siniylev [52]
LiCl, because lithium (Li) has one positively charged ion (1+), and
chloride (Cl) has one negatively charged ion (1-), so they
cancel each other out.

In the great shopping cart race, two students push on shopping carts. A having twice the mass of B, with the same force applied
Lesechka [4]

K = 1/2 m x v^2

m = mass on the cart

V = velocity imparted to the cart

KA = 1/2 mA x vA^2.......................(1)

KB = 1/2 mB x vB^2........................(2)

Diving equation 1 by equation 2, we get -

KA/KB = mA/mB

= 2

KA = 2 x KB

Option A is correct
