Answer:

16.3 ft/s

Explanation:

Let d=distance

and

x = length of shadow.

Therfore,

x=(d + x)

 = 6/15

So,

    15x = 6x + 6d

     9x = 6d.

x = (2/3)d.

As we know that:

dx=dt

   = (2/3) (d/dt) 

Also,

Given:

d(d)=dt

     = 7 ft/s

Thus,

d(d + x)=dt

           = (7/3)d (d/dt)

Substitute, d= 7  

d(d + x) = 49/3 ft/s.

Hence,

d(d + x) = 16.3 ft/s.

48 grams 12cm^3, what would the density of the material be
Licemer1 [7]
Density is mass over volume:

D =  \frac{m}{V}

In your case, mass is 48 grams and volume is 12cm^3

If you put that into the equation, you will get your density:

D =  \frac{m}{V} =  \frac{48g}{12cm^{3} } =4g/ cm^{3}

Arthur conducts a controlled experiment several times. The results of each test show that his hypothesis is not supported. Which
sladkih [1.3K]

Hello. You did not inform the experiment that Arthur is conducting, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

The hypothesis is an assumption that is made before the experiment is carried out. This hypothesis is formed with the observation of some phenomenon of nature where the researcher believes that two or more elements interact to form a result. In this case, the experiment is carried out to determine whether the assumption, that is, the hypothesis is false or true. In the event that an experiment determines that the hypothesis is false, two things may have occurred: (a) the experiment was set up, or analyzed incorrectly, (b) the elements tested have no relation to the observed phenomenon.

A person is standing on a scale in an unmoving elevator. The elevator starts to move upwards at 1 m/s squared. Is the scale read
timama [110]

Answer: GREATER

Explanation:when elevator does not move it reads weight of the person . when elevator moves up let apparent weight be F . W acts downwards so net force is F-W

HENCE

F-W =ma

F= ma+W

AS a= 1 m/s^2

F = m (1)+W

HENCE GREATER

Density is a physical property that relates the mass of a substance to its volume. A. Calculate the density, in g/mL , of a liqu
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

A) 0.660 g/ml

B) 1.297 ml

C) 0.272 g

Explanation:

Every substance, body or material has mass and volume, however the mass of different substances occupy different volumes.  This is where density D appears as a  physical characteristic property of matter that establishes a relationship between the mass m of a body or substance and the volume V it occupies:

D=\frac{m}{V} (1)

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h2 /><h2>Answer A:</h2>

Here the mass is m=0.155g and th volume V=0.000235L=0.235mL

Solving (1) with these values:

D=\frac{0.155g}{0.235mL} (2)

D=0.660g/mL (3)

<h2>Answer B:</h2>

In this case the mass of a sample is m=4.71g and its density is D=3.63g/mL.

Isolating V from (1):

V=\frac{m}{D} (4)

V=\frac{4.71g}{3.63g/mL} (5)

V=1.297mL (5)

<h2>Answer C:</h2>

In this case the volume of a sample is V=0.293mL and its density is D=0.930g/mL.

Isolating m from (1):

m=D.V (6)

m=(0.930g/mL)(0.293mL) (7)

m=0.272g (8)
