Answer:

Explanation:

Let the volume below water be v . Then

buoyant force = v d g where d is density of water , g is acceleration due to gravity

= v x 1000 x g

weight of wood piece = volume x density of wood x g

= .6 x 600 x g

for equilibrium while floating

buoyant force = weight

= v x 1000 x g = .6 x 600 x g

v = .36 m²

volume above water or volume exposed = .6 - .36

= .24 m²

When immersed completely ,

buoyant force = .6 x 1000 x 9.8

= 5880 N

weight of wood

= .6 x 600 x g

= 3528 N

buoyant force is more than the weight . In order to equalise them for floating with full volume in water

weight required = 5880 - 3528

= 2352 N.

Edwin Hubble calculated the expansion rate of the universe. On what evidence did he base his calculation?

algol [13]

Edwin Hubble calculated the expansion rate of the universe. The evidence that he base his calculation is the differences in redshift for galaxies. The answer is letter B. the red shift of galaxies was directly proportional to the distance of the galaxy from earth. It means that bodies farther away from Earth were moving away faster. The Hubble’s constant is the ratio of distance to redshift equal to 170 kilometers per second per light year of distance.

A car is traveling at 108 km/h, stuck behind a slower car. Finally the road is clear and the car pulls over to make a pass. The

mezya [45]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the car is 2.143 meters per square second.

Explanation:

Let assume that car accelerates uniformly, in that case, we can obtain the value of acceleration by using the following equation of motion:

$v = v_{o}+a\cdot t$

Where:

$v_{o}$ - Initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

$v$ - Final velocity, measured in meters per second.

$a$ - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

Now, we clear acceleration within expression:

$a = \frac{v-v_{o}}{t}$

Initial and final velocities are now converted from kilometers per hour into meters per second:

$v_{o} = \left(108\,\frac{km}{h} \right)\cdot \left(1000\,\frac{m}{km} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3600}\,\frac{h}{s} \right)$

$v_{o} = 30\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v = \left(135\,\frac{km}{h} \right)\cdot \left(1000\,\frac{m}{km} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3600}\,\frac{h}{s} \right)$

$v = 37.5\,\frac{m}{s}$

If we know that $t = 3.5\,s$ , then, the average acceleration of the car is:

$a = \frac{37.5\,\frac{m}{s}-30\,\frac{m}{s} }{3.5\,s}$

$a = 2.143\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The average acceleration of the car is 2.143 meters per square second.
