Answer: Weight = 98.1N

Explanation:

Density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

Given that the Plastic foam is about 0.10 times as dense as water. That is,

Density of plastic foam = 0.1 × 1000 = 100kg/m^3

The volume V = 1 ×1×0.1 = 0.1 m^3

Density is the ratio of mass to volume

Density = mass/volume

Let us substitute for density and volume to get mass.

100 = M/0.1

Make M the subject of formula

M = 100 × 0.1 = 10 kg

Weight = mg

Where g = 9.81 m/s

Substitute the M and g into the formula

Weight = 10 × 9.81 = 98.1 N

Therefore, the weight of the brick is 98.1 N

A car traveling at 60 km/h will skid 30 m when its brakes are locked. if the same care is traveling at 180 km/h, what will be th
Flauer [41]
The first car travels at 60km/h and skid at 30m away from the starting point while another car is also traveling at 180km/h. Now, we need to solve for the skidding distance.
We assigned variables such as:
V1=60km/h
V2=180km/h
Skid1=30m
Skid2=?
We solve this by ratio and proportion method such as shown below:
V1/V2=skid1/skid2
60/180=30/skid2
skid2=(30*180)/60
skid2=90meters

Th answer is 90 meters.

How much power does it take to lift 30.0 N 10.0 m high in 5.00 s?
Rudik [331]

Power = work/time = (Force times distance)/time

= (30N *10.0m)/5.00s = 300/5 = 60 Watts

Can someone please help me with science.

On the dog's return trip (between <em>t</em> = 10 and <em>t</em> = 12.5 seconds), the slope of the position function is steeper than during the first 5 seconds, which means the dog ran home faster. The only option that captures this is D.

You can check to make sure that the dog indeed runs twice as fast on the return trip. The slope of the position function during the first 5 seconds is

(change in position) / (change in time) = (5 - 0) / (5 - 0) = 5/5 = 1

while during the return trip, it is

(0 - 5) / (12.5 - 10) = -5/2.5 = -2

Ignoring the sign (which only indicates the direction in which the dog was running), we see that the dog's speed on the return trip was indeed twice as high as during the first 5 s.
