Answer:

Mass = 2734.875 kg

Explanation:

Given that A water holding tank measures 85 m long, 55 m wide, and 9 m deep.

The volume = 85 × 55 × 9 =

= 42075 m^3

Traces of mercury have been found in the tank, with a concen- tration of 65 mg/L.

1 m^3 = 1000 L

Convert cubic meters to litres.

42075 × 1000 = 42075000 L

From definition of density,

Density = mass ÷ volume.

Substitute the given density and the calculated density into the formula

65 = mass ÷ 42075000

Cross multiply

Mass = 65 × 42075000

Mass = 2734875000 mg

Convert mg to kg

To do that, you will divide the answer by 1000000

2734875000 ÷ 1000000

= 2734.875 kg

Answer: Relative motion

Explanation: If two objects are moving either towards or away from each other with both having their velocities in a reference frame and someone is outside this reference frame seeing the motion of the two objects.

The observer ( in his own frame of reference) will measure a different velocity as opposed to the velocities of the two object in their own reference frame. p

Both the velocity measured by the observer in his own reference frame and the velocity of both object in their reference is correct.

Velocities of this nature that have varying values based on motion referenced to another body is known as relative velocity.

Motion of this nature is known as relative motion.

<em>Note that the word reference frame is simply any where the motion is occurring and the specified laws of motion is valid</em>

<em />

For this example of ours, the reference frame of the companion is the train and the telephone poles has their reference frame as the earth.

The companion will measure the velocity of the telephone poles relative to him and the velocity of the telephone pole relative to an observer outside the train will be of a different value.

Gravity is _____ force between objects that are moving closer to one another.
pishuonlain [190]

Gravity is a pair of forces of attraction between every
two objects. Period !

It doesn't matter whether they're moving together, moving apart,
moving gracefully in synchrony, or at rest.  The gravitational forces
of attraction between them are always there.
