There is no such thing as"cold", in the same way that there is no such thing
as "darkness" or "quietness".  "Darkness" is the absence of light, "quietness"
is the absence of sound, and "cold" is the absence of heat.

Tom should have said that insulation <em>keeps the heat in</em> .

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

7066kg/m³

Explanation:

The forces in these cases (air and water) are: Fa =mg =ρbVg Fw =(ρb −ρw)Vg where ρw = 1000 kg/m3 is density of water and ρb is density of the block and V is its density. We can find it from this two equations:

Fa /Fw = ρb / (ρb −ρw) ρb = ρw (Fa /Fa −Fw) =1000·(1* 21.2 /21.2 − 18.2)

= 7066kg/m³

You are driving home from school steadily at for 180 km. It then begins to rain and you slow to You arrive home after driving 4.
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Explanation:

Question is incomplete

Assuming the question you have asked is

You are driving home from school steadily at 95 km/h for 180 km. It then begins to rain and you slow to 65 km/h. You arrive home after driving 4.5 h.

given,

speed of 95 km/h for 180 km

due to rain

speed is reduced to 65 km/h

distance traveled in 4.5 hour

time taken to travel 180 km

d = s x t

t = \dfrac{180}{95}

     t = 1.9 hr

distance traveled in time, t' = 4.5-1.9 = 2.6 hr

Speed of vehicle = 65 Km/h

d' = s x t'

d' = 65 x 2.6

d'= 169 Km

total distance your hometown from school

D = d + d'

D = 180 + 169

D = 349 Km

A 2000 kg car slams on the brakes and slows down at a rate of -10 m/s2. How much force are the brakes applying?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

-20,000N

Explanation:

Force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (m/s²)

So,

Force = 2000 x -10

= -20,000N (Newtons)
