Answer:

D)Not enough information

Explanation:

According to Pascal's principle, the pressure exerted on the two pistons is equal:

p_A = p_B

Pressure is given by the ratio between force F and area A, so we can write

\frac{F_A}{A_A}=\frac{F_B}{A_B}

The force exerted on each piston is just equal to the weight of the corresponding mass: F=W=mg, where m is the mass and g is the gravitational acceleration. So the equation becomes

\frac{m_A g}{A_A}=\frac{m_B g}{A_B}

Now we can rewrite the mass as the product of volume, V, times density, d:

\frac{V_A d_A g}{A_A}=\frac{V_B d_B g}{A_B}

We also know that A_B = 2.0 m^2\\A_A = 1.0 m^2

So we can further re-arrange the equation (and simplify g as well):

\frac{V_A d_A}{1}=\frac{V_B d_B}{2}

\frac{d_A}{d_B}=\frac{V_B}{2V_A}

We are also told that block B has bigger volume than block A: V_B > V_A. However, this information is not enough to allow us to say if the fraction on the right is greater than 1 or smaller than 1: therefore, we cannot conclude anything about the densities of the two objects.

The latitude of any location on earth is the angle formed by the two rays drawn from the center of earth to the location and to
Alina [70]

The distance between city a and city b is 833.345 miles.

We know that

1°=60'

The distance of city a from the initial ray is  calculated as

x_a=3960*tan45.46°=4024.101 miles

The distance of city b from the initial ray is calculated as

x_b=3960*tan 38.86°=3190.75 miles

Now the distance between city a and b is equal to

4024.101-3190.75=833.345 miles

This is the vertical distance between the cities.

A 1300-kg car initially has a velocity of 22.2 m/s due south. It brakes to a stop over a 180 m distance.
Vaselesa [24]
The acceleration of the object which moves from an initial step to a full halt given the distance traveled can be calculated through the equation,
                                     d = v² / 2a
where d is distance, v is the velocity, and a is acceleration
Substituting the known values,
                                     180 = (22.2 m/s)² / 2(a)
The value of a is equal to 1.369 m/s²
The force needed for the object to be stopped is equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration.
                                      F = (1300 kg)(1.369 m/s²) 
                                            F = 1779.7 N
