Wow !  This one could have some twists and turns in it.
Fasten your seat belt.  It's going to be a boompy ride.

-- The buoyant force is precisely the missing <em>30N</em> .

--  In order to calculate the density of the frewium sample, we need to know
its mass and its volume.  Then, density = mass/volume .

-- From the weight of the sample in air, we can closely calculate its mass.

   Weight = (mass) x (gravity)
   185N = (mass) x (9.81 m/s²)
   Mass = (185N) / (9.81 m/s²) = <u>18.858 kilograms of frewium</u> 

-- For its volume, we need to calculate the volume of the displaced water.

The buoyant force is equal to the weight of displaced water, and the
density of water is about 1 gram per cm³.  So the volume of the
displaced water (in cm³) is the same as the number of grams in it.

The weight of the displaced water is 30N, and weight = (mass) (gravity).

           30N = (mass of the displaced water) x (9.81 m/s²)

           Mass = (30N) / (9.81 m/s²) = 3.058 kilograms

           Volume of displaced water = <u>3,058 cm³</u>

Finally, density of the frewium sample = (mass)/(volume)

      Density = (18,858 grams) / (3,058 cm³) = <em>6.167 gm/cm³</em> (rounded)

================================================

I'm thinking that this must  be the hard way to do it,
because I noticed that

       (weight in air) / (buoyant force) =  185N / 30N = <u>6.1666...</u>

So apparently . . .

        (density of a sample) / (density of water) =

                                  (weight of the sample in air) / (buoyant force in water) .

I never knew that, but it's a good factoid to keep in my tool-box.

The slow coning pattern of the spin axis of the Earth's precession will move the end of this axis in a complete circle in a peri
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

26000 years

Explanation:

Precession describes the angular motion of the Earth's body. Since the attitude of telescopes relative to the Earth's body can be controlled with high accuracy, and telescopes can measure the direction of incoming light also with high accuracy, the motion of Earth is under permanent high precision monitoring. Thus the basic numerical descriptor of precission, an angular rate of 5029.0966 seconds of arc per Julian century, traditionally denoted p (for precession) is a measured value from observed coordinate changes of thousands of stars over, say, two centuries. The understanding of this value in terms of forces acting on an oblate Earth from the Moon is well understood so that an extrapolation back and forth over a few full cycles contains little uncertainties. Of course, you can find details on the coordinate transformations mentioned above (the direct observational effect of precession) on the net. I was surprised to see that the Wikipedia article on precession covers the astronomical aspect very poorly. You thus better look for other sources.

A new roller coaster contains a loop-the-loop in which the car and rider are completely upside down. If the radius of the loop i
Oduvanchick [21]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts based on Newton's second law and the Centripetal Force.

That is to say,

F_c = F_w

Where,

F_c =Centripetal Force

F_w =Weight Force

Expanding the terms we have to,

mg = \frac{mv^2}{r}

gr = v^2

v = \sqrt{gr}

Where,

r = Radius

g = Gravity

v = Velocity

Replacing with our values we have

v = \sqrt{(9.8)(11.8)}

v = 10.75m/s

Therefore the minimum speed must the car traverse the loop so that the rider does not fall out while upside down at the top is 10.75m/s

You are driving your car, and the traffic light ahead turns red. you apply the brakes for 2.26 s, and the velocity of the car de
Lorico [155]

Let the initial velocity of the car be u.

Final velocity of the car (v) = 5.43 m/s

deceleration (a) = - 2.78 m/s^2

Time taken (t) = 2.26 s

Using the first equation of motion:

v = u + at

u = v - at

u = 5.43 - (-2.78 \times 2.26)

u = 5.43 + 6.28

u = 11.71 m/s

Let the car's displacement be x.

Using second equation of motion:

x = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

x = 11.71 \times 2.26 - \frac{1}{2} \times 2.78 \times 2.26^2

x = 26.4646 - 7.0995

x = 19.3651 meters

Hence, the displacement of the car is 19.36 meters
