Answer:

Density of the fuel is 727.3 kilograms per cubic meter.

Specific weight of the fuel is 7127.3 Newtons per cubic meter.

Specific gravity of the fuel is 0,727.

Explanation:

In order to use SI units, we have to convert liters to cubic meters. Knowing that a liter is a cubic decimeter and a cubic decimeter is 1*10^{-3} cubic meters, we know that the tank has 0,055 cubic meters of fuel (because it is full).

Now that we have things in SI units, we calculate density:

p_{fuel}= \frac{mass}{volume} = \frac{40 kg}{0.055 m^{3} } =727.3 \frac{kg }{m^{3} }

Knowing the mass per unit of volume, we can calculate weight per unit of volume thanks to Newton's second law (mass times acceleration, g in this case, equals force (weight)), i.e. specific weight:

y=p*g=727,3 \frac{kg}{m^{3}}*9.8\frac{m }{s^{2}}=7127,3 \frac{N}{m^{3}}

With density we can also calculate how dense the fuel is related to a reference (water), i.e. specific gravity. SG is a dimensionless number that tell us how much denser (SG>1) or lighter per unit of volume (SG<1) a substance is than water. We use water as a reference because it is one of the most used substances in our life, and it is a standard density (1000 kg per cubic meter at 4°C and 1 atm).

SG=\frac{p_{fuel} }{p_{water} } =\frac{727.3 \frac{kg }{m^{3} }}{1000 \frac{kg }{m^{3} }} =0,727

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Correct answer: t = 2.86 seconds

Explanation:

We first use this formula

V² - V₀² = 2 a d    

where V is the final velocity (speed), V₀ the initial velocity (speed),

a the acceleration and d the distance.

We will calculate the acceleration from this formula

a = (V² - V₀²) / (2 d) = (2.5² - 1²) / (2 · 5) = (6.25 - 1) / 10 = 5.25 / 10

a = 0.525 m/s²

then we use this formula

V = V₀ + a t  => t = (V - V₀) / a = (2.5 - 1) / 0.525 = 1.5 / 0.525 = 2.86 seconds

t = 2.86 seconds

God is with you!!!

Take another look at lines 2 and 3. Suppose you use distance and time between any pair of neighboring dots to calculate speed:
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Add the two speeds together.

Then, divide the sum by two. This will give you the average speed for the entire trip. So, if Ben traveled 40 mph for 2 hours, then 60 mph for another 2 hours, his average speed is 50 mph.

Why can’t solids flow
Annette [7]

Answer:

basically they have too much mass in them

Explanation:

They are held tightly together by strong forces of attraction. They are held in fixed positions but they do vibrate. Because the particles don't move, solids have a definite shape and volume, and can't flow. Because the particles are already packed closely together, solids can't easily be compressed.
