Explanation:

a. Average speed = distance / time

= 100 m / 70 s

= 1.43 m/s

b. Average displacement = displacement / time

= 0 m / 70 s

= 0 m/s

Distance is the length of the path traveled. Displacement is the difference between the final position and initial position.

A block of plastic in the shape of a rectangular solid that has height 8.00 cm and area A for its top and bottom surfaces is flo

kifflom [539]

Answer:

0.35 kg

Explanation:

8 cm = 0.08 m

For the block to stay balance, the buoyancy force must be the same as gravity that pulls it down.

Let mass of the block be M, then the gravity would be Mg

Let water density be $\rho_w = 1000 kg/m^3$ , the buoyancy force would be the weight of water that is displaced by the submerged block.

For example, when there is no coin, block is $h_0 = 0.0312m$ submerged. The weight of water displaced must be

$W_0 = Ah_0\rho_wg = 0.0312A1000g = 31.2Ag$

Which is also the weight of block, of Mg

Therefore M = 31.2A. (1)

As coins are stacked on top of block, h increase, so as weight of water displaced and total weight of block and coins. Now let m be the total weight of coins. The gravity of block and weight must be (M+m)g. And the weight of water displaced is:

$W = Ah\rho g = (M + m)g$

$h = \frac{M}{A\rho} + \frac{m}{A\rho}$

Since the linear plot of h vs m has a slope of 0.089 m/kg, we can interpret it as

$\frac{1}{A\rho} = 0.089$

$A = \frac{1}{0.089\rho} = \frac{1}{89} = 0.011 m^2$

So from the eq. (1) we can solve for M = 31.2A = 0.35 kg

According to principle of conservation of energy, the total momentum of a system of masses in any direction remains constant unl

Sergeu [11.5K]

The principle of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be changed from one form to another. The law of inertia on the other hand states that a body remains at a state of rest or motion on a straight line unless compelled by an external force. So i think that the answer is B, which is FALSE because the question is more related to the law of inertia(Newtons first law) than to the law of conservation of energy. Hope i helped.

For an object moving with constant negative acceleration, draw the following:

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Kindly find the graphs attached

Explanation:

For figure 1: There is a steady increase in the position of the object as time increases. This is because despite the negative acceleration (deceleration), the object continues to move and cover more ground as time goes by.

<em>The straight line graph is observed because the acceleration is constant and not varying.</em>

For Figure 2: The graph of velocity vs time will have an inverted nature. This is because since the object is decelerating, it is reducing in its velocity as time goes by (increases). <em>This is also in a straight line since the deceleration is constant.</em>
