The mind boggles at the spectacle ... a 150-kg lady weighs about 330 pounds, and has the courage and the audacity to not only go to the beach, but to go out and float in the water, hoping that there are no wise little kids around, getting ready to yell to each other "Thar she blows, Cap'n !".

But we're only here to do the math, whether or not it has any physical significance in the real world.

This problem is really not that mysterious. 

Since the star of this unlikely scenario is just barely floating, her weight must be equal to the weight of an equal volume of water.  In other words, her average density  (arrghhh, I can't take much more of this) is equal to the density of water.

Officially, 1 kg is the mass of fresh water that occupies a volume of 1 liter, so this relationship also very nearly describes the relationship between our heroine's mass and volume.

Her volume is very nearly 150 liters, or  0.15 cubic meter, and no further rounding is necessary, in more ways than one. 

I would stay and convert that to some more familiar 'customary' units for you, honest I would.  But I've been quite overcome by my visualizations of this whole matter, and I really must make a quick trip to the rail, immediately.

Sam is observing the velocity of a car at different times. After three hours, the velocity of the car is 53 km/h. After six hour
Serhud [2]
For the answer to the question above, first find out the gradient. 

<span>m = rise/run </span>
<span>=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) </span>

<span>the x's and y's are the points given: "After three hours, the velocity of the car is 53 km/h. After six hours, the velocity of the car is 62 km/h" </span>
<span>(x1,y1) = (3,53) </span>
<span>(x2,y2) = (6,62) </span>

<span>sub values back into the equation </span>
<span>m = (62-53)/(6-3) </span>
<span>m = 9/3 </span>
<span>m = 3 </span>

<span>now we use a point-slope form to find the the standard form </span>
<span>y-y1 = m(x-x1) </span>
<span>where x1 and y1 are any set of point given </span>
<span>y-53 = 3(x-3) </span>
<span>y-53 = 3x - 9 </span>
<span>y = 3x - 9 + 53 </span>
<span>y = 3x + 44 </span>

<span>y is the velocity of the car, x is the time.
</span>I hope this helps.

While eating lunch high up in a skyscraper, two construction workers calculate their gravitational potential
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The mass of the other worker is 45 kg

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The gravitational potential energy of one construction worker = The gravitational potential energy of the other construction worker

The mass of the lighter construction worker, m₁ = 90 kg

The height level of the lighter construction worker's location = h₁

The height level of the other construction worker's location = h₂ = 2·h₁

The gravitational potential energy, P.E.,  is given as follows;

P.E. = m·g·h

Where;

m = The mass of the object at height

g = The acceleration due to gravity

h = The height at which is located

Let P.E.₁ represent the gravitational potential energy of one construction worker and let P.E.₂ represent the gravitational potential energy of the other construction worker

We have;

P.E.₁ = P.E.₂

Therefore;

m₁·g·h₁ = m₂·g·h₂

h₂ = 2·h₁

We have;

m₁·g·h₁ = m₂·g·2·h₁

m₁ = 2·m₂

90 kg = 2 × m₂

m₂ = (90 kg)/2 = 45 kg

The mass of the other construction worker is 45 kg.
