A man walks 7 km, east in 2 hours and 2 km in 1 hour in the same direction. a) what is
Rzqust [24]

Explanation:

Average speed = distance / time

|v| = (7 km + 2 km) / (2 hr + 1 hr)

|v| = 3 km/hr

Average velocity = displacement / time

v = (7 km east + 2 km east) / (2 hr + 1 hr)

v = 3 km/hr east

1. A piece of metal weighs 50.0 N in air, 36.0 N in water, and 41.0 N in an unknown
denis23 [38]

Answer:

a) 3.37 x 10^{3} kg/m^3

b) 6.42kg/m^{3}

Explanation:

a) Firstly we would calculate the volume of the metal using it`s weight in air and water , after finding the weight we would find the density .

Weight of metal in air = 50N = mg implies the mass of metal is 5kg.

Now the difference of weight of the metal in air and water = upthrust acting on it = volume (metal) p (liquid) g = V (1000)(10) = 14N. So volume of metal piece = 14 x 10^{-4}  kg/m^{3}. So density of metal = mass of metal / volume of metal = 5 / 14 x 10^{-4}  kg/m^{3} = 3.37 x 10^{3} kg/m^3

b) Water exerts a buoyant force to the metal which is 50−36 = 14N, which equals the weight of water displaced. The mass of water displaced is 14/10 = 1.4kg Since the density of water is 1kg/L, the volume displaced is 1.4L. Hence, we end up with 3.57kg/l. Moreover, the unknown liquid exerts a buoyant force of 9N. So the density of this liquid is 6.42kg/m^{3}

A city bus travels 6 blocks east and 8 blocks north. Each block is 100 m long. If the bus travels this distance in 15 minutes, w
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

1.56 m/s

Explanation:

For East direction, the 6 blocks is equivalent to 6*100=600 m

For West direction, 8 blocks is equivalent to 8*100=800 m

Speed is given by s=d/t where s is speed, d is distance covered and t is time taken

Total distance is 600+800=1400m

Time taken is 15 mins, converted to seconds will be 15*60=900 s

Speed, s=1400/900=1.5555555555555 m/s rounded off as 1.56 m/s
