Mass: the amount of matter an object contains
Weight: mass•acceleration due to gravity(9.8m/s) / the force of gravity acting on an object

Nady [450]

Answer:

(a) 1.939 m/h

(b) 0.926 m/h

(d) -1.21 m/h

Explanation:

Here, we have the water depth given by the function of time;

D(t) = 7 + 5·cos[0.503(t-6.75)]

Therefore, to find the velocity of the depth displacement with time, we differentiate the given expression with respect to time as follows;

D'(t) = $\frac{d(7 + 5\cdot cos[0.503(t-6.75)])}{dt}$

= 5×(-sin(0.503(t-6.75))×0.503

= -2.515×(-sin(0.503(t-6.75))

= -2.515×(-sin(0.503×t-3.395))

Therefore we have;

(a) at 5:00 AM = 5 - 0:00 = 5

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×5-3.395)) = 1.939 m/h

(b) at 6:00 AM = 6 - 0:00 = 6

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×6-3.395)) = 0.926 m/h

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×7-3.395)) = -0.315 m/h

(d) at Noon 12:00 PM = 12 - 0:00 = 12

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×12-3.395)) = -1.21 m/h.

What is the definition of matter

xeze [42]

The definition of matter is physical substance in general, as distinct from mind and spirit that which occupies space and possesses rest mass, especially as distinct from energy, which basically means that matter makes up the whole Earth and everything on it. <span />

belka [17]

Answer:

a. The moment of the 4 N force is 16 N·m clockwise

b. The moment of the 6 N force is 12 N·m anticlockwise

Explanation:

In the figure, we have;

The distance from the point 'O', to the 6 N force = 2 m

The position of the 6 N force relative to the point 'O' = To the left of 'O'

The distance from the point 'O', to the 4 N force = 4 m

The position of the 4 N force relative to the point 'O' = To the right of 'O'

a. The moment of a force about a point, M = The force, F × The perpendicular distance of the force from the point

a. The moment of the 4 N force = 4 N × 4 m = 16 N·m clockwise

b. The moment of the 6 N force = 6 N × 2 m = 12 N·m anticlockwise.

Calculate the average induced voltage between the tips of the wings of an airplane flying above East Lansing at a speed of 885 k

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

=0.855V

Explanation:

The induced voltage can be calculated using below expression

E =B x dA/dt

Where dA/dt = area

B= magnetic field = 6.90×10-5 T.

We were given speed of 885 km/h but we will need to convert to m/s for consistency of unit

speed = 885 km/h

speed = 885 x 10^3 m/hr

speed = 885 x 10^3/60 x60 m/s

speed = 245.8 m/s

If The aircraft wing sweep out" an area

at t= 50.4seconds then we have;

dA/dt = 50.4 x 245.8

= 123388.32m^2/s

Then from the expression above

E =B x dA/dt substitute the values of each parameters, we have

E = 6.90 x 10^-5 x 12388.32 V

E =0.855V

Hence, the average induced voltage between the tips of the wings is =0.855V
