Answer:

<h2>B. The statue has a higher concentration of copper.</h2>

Explanation:

We know by given that the statue is made of bronze, which is formed by 80% copper and 20% tin.

So, as you can observe, the copper represents a majority of the statue, that means it has more concentration of copper than tin.

Therefore, the right answer is B. The statue has a higher concentration of copper, because it's made 80% of copper actually.

The answer is B because it's 80 percent copper, that's a greater number then 20.

A tall cylinder contains 30 cm of water. Oil is carefully poured into the cylinder, where it floats on top of the water, until t

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The gauge pressure is $P_g = 2058 \ P_a$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height of the water contained is $h_w = 30 \ cm = 0.3 \ m$

The height of liquid in the cylinder is $h_t = 40 \ cm = 0.4 \ m$

At the bottom of the cylinder the gauge pressure is mathematically represented as

$P_g = P_w + P_o$

Where $P_w$ is the pressure of water which is mathematically represented as

$P_w = \rho_w * g * h_w$

Now $\rho_w$ is the density of water with a constant values of $\rho_w = 1000 \ kg /m^3$

substituting values

$P_w = 1000 * 9.8 * 0.3$

$P_w = 2940 \ Pa$

While $P_o$ is the pressure of oil which is mathematically represented as

$P_o = \rho_o * g * (h_t -h_w )$

Where $\rho _o$ is the density of oil with a constant value

$\rho _o = 900 \ kg / m^3$

substituting values

$P_o = 900 * 9.8 * (0.4 - 0.3)$

$P_o = 882 \ Pa$

Therefore

$P_g = 2940 - 882$

$P_g = 2058 \ P_a$

A police car is traveling north on a straight road at a constant 16.0 m/s. An SUV traveling north at 30.0 m/s passes the police

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

It will take 15.55s for the police car to pass the SUV

Explanation:

We first have to establish that both the police car and the SUV will travel the same distance in the same amount of time. The police car is moving at constant velocity and the SUV is experiencing a deceleration. Thus we will use two distance fromulas (for constant and accelerated motions) with the same variable for t and x:

1. $x=x_{0}+vt$

2. $x=x_{0}+v_{0}t+\frac{at^{2}}{2}$

Since both cars will travel the same distance x, we can equal both formulas and solve for t:

$vt = v_{0}t+\frac{at^2}{2}\\\\ 16\frac{m}{s}t =30\frac{m}{s}t-\frac{1.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}}{2}$

We simplify the fraction present and rearrange for our formula so that it equals 0:

$0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}-14\frac{m}{s}t=0 \\\\ t(0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-14\frac{m}{s})=0$

In the very last step we factored a common factor t. There is two possible solutions to the equation at $t=0$ and:

$0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-14\frac{m}{s}=0 \\\\ 0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t =14\frac{m}{s} \\\\ t =\frac{14\frac{m}{s}}{0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=15.56s$

What this means is that during the displacement of the police car and SUV, there will be two moments in time where they will be next to each other; at $t=0 s$ (when the SUV passed the police car) and $t=15.56s$ (when the police car catches up to the SUV)

How is velocity ratio of wheel and axle calculatedaad<br>

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

VR = $\frac{Radius of wheel}{Radius of axle}$

Explanation:

A machine is a device that can be used to overcome a load by the application of an effort through a pivot. Examples are: pulleys, wedge, screw jack, wheel and axle etc.

The wheel and axle is a simple device that can be used to lift a load through a height. Its velocity ratio (VR) can be determined by:

VR = $\frac{Radius of wheel}{Radius of axle}$

Note that for a practical wheel and axle, the radius of the wheel is greater than the radius of the axle.
