d=\frac{m}{V}\\
\\
0.08 = \frac{m}{7,840}\rightarrow m=0.08 * 7,840=627.2 \ kg

\vec{F_g}=m.\vec{g}=627.2 *9.8=6,146.56 \ N

Density = 7840 kg per m³
Volume = 0.08 m³
Mass = 0.08 of 7840 kg = 627.2 kg

Now I'm going to give you the correct answer to your question, and then,
after that, I'm also going to give you the answer you expect.

The correct answer is:  (Ryan2 the Expert in Answer #1 is correct) . . . . .

The force of gravity on a mass doesn't depend on what it's sunk in, surrounded by,
hanging from, or resting on.  As long as it's on or near the Earth's surface, the force
of gravity acting on it is the same, no matter what else is around.

Force of gravity (weight) = (mass) x (gravity) = 627.2 kg x 9.8 m/s² = 6146.56 newtons
=============================================

The apparent weight is less, because when it's immersed in a fluid, there's
a buoyant force acting on it, which cancels part of the force of gravity.

The buoyant force = weight of the displaced water.

Assume the density of water is 1 kg per liter = 1,000 kg per m³.

Then the weight of 0.08 m³ of water is (80 kg x 9.8 m/s²) = 784 newtons.

This is the upward buoyant force on the steel when it's in water,
and it makes the steel seem 784 newtons lighter in water.  So the
apparent weight of the steel in water is

6146.56 minus 784 = 5362.56 newtons.

That's why you can pick up your big brother in the swimming pool.
The force of gravity on him doesn't change, but the buoyant force
in the water balances part of the force of gravity, and makes him
seem to weigh less.

If he could blow himself up like a balloon, and displace enough water
to weigh just as much as he really does, then the buoyant force would
cancel his weight completely, and he would totally float !

That's how steel ships float in water.  They're shaped in a shape that can
displace a lot of water.  The whole secret is in the shape.

If you use the same force to push a motorcycle as you would push a bike which one would have more acceleration and why explain u
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The bike would have more acceleration

Explanation:

Accourding to newtons first law a force is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration (f=ma) therefore an object with a higher mass compared to an object with a lower mass would experience less acceleration.

Eg.

F=50N

Motorbike M=200kg

F=ma

50=200 x a

50/200=a

0.25m/s/s =a

Bike M=35kg

F=ma

50=35 x a

50/35= a

1.43m/s/s=a

Students measured the mass of 25.0 mL of water and found it be 25.4 g. The accepted mass is 25.0 g. What is the percent error of
Andre45 [30]
Well first of all, I think the students may have been correct. 
If they didn't use distilled water, and if it wasn't exactly at 
standard temperature, then the mass of  25.0 mL  could
very well be  25.4 grams.  We don't know that there was
any 'error' in their measurement at all.
But the question says there was, so we'll do the math:

The 'error' was  (25.4 - 25.0) = +0.4 gram

As a fraction of the 'real' value, the error was

                            +0.4 / 25.0  =  +0.016 .

To change a decimal to a percent, move the
decimal point two places that way  ===> .

                           + 0.016  =  +1.6 % .

     
Their measurement was 1.6% too high.

Let's not call it an 'error'.  Let's just call it a 'discrepancy'
between the measured value and the 'accepted' value.  OK ?

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

 avriage force F = 2722.5 N

Explanation:

For this problem we can use Newton's second law, to calculate the average force and acceleration we can find it by kinematics.

      vf² = v₀² - 2 ax

The final carriage speed is zero (vf = 0)

      0 = v₀² - 2ax

      a = v₀² / 2x

      a = 1.1²/(2 0.200)

      a = 3.025 m / s²

      a = 3.0 m/s²

We calculate the average force

      F = ma

      F = 900 3,025

      F = 2722.5 N

A speeding motorist traveling with velocity Vm is spotted by a police car. The police car is initially at rest, but the instant
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Let us suppose police car and motorist travel in straight line  and police car catches motorist after s distance

Distance travel by motorist

s=v_mt----1

Distance traveled by Police car

s=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}

s=0+\frac{a_pt^2}{2}

s=\frac{a_pt^2}{2}----2

from 1 & 2 we get

t=\frac{2v_m}{a_p}

(a)Velocity of Police car after t sec

v=u+a_pt

v=0+a_p\times \frac{2v_m}{a_p}

v=2v_m

(b)time taken by police car is

t=\frac{2v_m}{a_p}

(c)Distance travel by police car=\frac{2v_m^2}{a_p}
