Answer:
It is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material.
Explanation:
<em>Specific gravity is also known as relative density.</em>
<u>To find the relative density of substance, you:</u>
- Divide the density of substance measured
- And divide that by the density of the reference
Answer:
Explanation:
Average speed is distance traveled over time taken to do so
home to station
d = 60 km
t = 60 km/60 km/hr = 1 hr
station to shop
d = 60 km
t = 60 km / 120 km/hr = ½ hr
speed
s = (60 + 60) / (1 + ½) = 120/1.5 = 80 km/h
Answer:
The displacement is zero miles
Explanation:
The displacement of an object that moves from point A to point B is defined as

Where d is the displacement of the object. The displacement does not depend on the trajectory of the object. It only depends on the linear distance between the end point and the starting point.
In this case we know that the person walks from home to work and then walks from work to home. Therefore, the total displacement is the linear distance between the point where its journey begins and the point where the route ends.
The tour begins on the front porch of your house and ends on the front porch of your house (when you return from work). If we call A to the front porch of the house then the displacement is:

The displacement is zero miles, since the person finishes the journey just where it started (front porch)
Let's choose the "east" direction as positive x-direction. The new velocity of the jet is the vector sum of two velocities: the initial velocity of the jet, which is
along the x-direction
in a direction
north of east.
To find the resultant, we must resolve both vectors on the x- and y- axis:




So, the components of the resultant velocity in the two directions are


So the new speed of the aircraft is:
