Answer:

a.Beth

b.2232 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance,d=400 mi

Speed of Alan,v=45 mph

Speed of Beth,v'=55 mph

a.Time =\frac{distance}{speed}

Using the formula

Time taken by Alan=\frac{400}{45}=8.89 hr

Time taken by Beth=\frac{400}{55}=7.27hr

Alan will reach San Francisco at 4:53 PM

Beth will reach San Francisco at 4:16 PM

Beth will reach before Alan.

b.Difference between time=8.89-7.27=1.62 hr

t=1.62 hr

1.62-1=0.62 hr

0.62 hr=0.62\times 60\times 60=2232 s

Hence, Beth has to wait 2232 s for Alan to arrive .

A force of 100N moves a body on a horizontal frictionless surface when......
zalisa [80]

Answer:

I. Friction force exerted on the body is less than 100N

Explanation:

For  a body to be static, the moving force must be equal to the frictional force. Since the frictional force is a force of opposition. It tends to oppose the moving force acting on an object.

Hence if the moving force is greater than the force of friction, the Force of fiction will not be able to overcome the moving hence the body will tend to move.

Therefore, for a body to move, Fm > Ff or Ff < Ff

Fm is the moving force

Ff is the force of friction

Given

Fm = 100N

For the 100N body to move the frictional force must be less than 100N

Pavel [41]

Answer:

C. Up, equal to the can's weight

Explanation:

You are camping in the breathtaking mountains if Colorado. You spy an unopened diet soda can floating motionless below the surface of a lake. What is the direction and amount of force the water exerts on it?

A. Zero

B. Down, equal to the can's weight

C. Up, equal to the can's weight

D. Not enough information is given

from the principle of flotation which states that a

When a body displaces a weight of water equal to its own weight, it floats. : A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight. ... Archimedes' principle equates the buoyant force to the weight of the fluid displaced.

the upthrust (this is the upward vertical force exerted on an object in fluid)in the water equals the weight of the body in water it floats.
