Answer:

8977.7 kg/m^3

Explanation:

Volume of water displaced = 55 cm^3 = 55 x 10^-6 m^3

Reading of balance when block is immersed in water = 4.3 N

According to the Archimedes principle, when a body is immersed n a liquid partly or wholly, then there is a loss in the weight of body which is called upthrust or buoyant force. this buoyant force is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the body.

Buoyant force = weight of the water displaced by the block

Buoyant force = Volume of water displaced x density of water x g

                        = 55 x 10^-6 x 1000 x .8 = 0.539 N

True weight of the body = Weight of body in water + buoyant force

m g = 4.3 + 0.539 = 4.839

m = 0.4937 kg

Density of block = mass of block / volume of block

= \frac{0.4937}{55\times10^{-6}}

Density of block = 8977.7 kg/m^3

A powerful motorcycle can produce an acceleration of 3.00 m/s2 while traveling at 90.0 km/h. At that speed the forces resisting
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

1185 N

Explanation:

From Newton’s second law of motion,  

F=ma where m= mass of motorcycle, a is acceleration of the motorcycle and F=Force

Net force acting on motorcycle F_{net} is given by  F_{net}=F-f

Where F is force acting on motorcycle and f is frictional force

Substituting F-f for F_{net}

F_{net}=ma hence  ma= F- f Substituting a with 3, m with 245Kg and f with 450N as provided

245*3= F- 450

F=245*3 +450= 1185 N

The position function of a particle is given by s=2t3−3t2−63t,t⩾0.s=2t3−3t2−63t,t⩾0. where ss is measured in meters and tt in se
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

t=5.72\ s

Explanation:

Given:

the displacement as the function of time:

s=2t^3-3t^2-63t

here time is in seconds and the displacement in meters.

Now we differentiate this eq. of displacement to get the equation of velocity:

v=\frac{d}{dt}(s) \\v=6t^2-6t-63

According to given the velocity is 99\ m.s^{-1} at some time:

99=6t^2-6t-63

6t^2-6t-162=0

t=5.72\ s &  is the only time  for (t>=0) instances when the particle will have a velocity of 99\ m.s^{-1} but in the opposite direction.

The environment affects people, but people don't affect the environment.<br><br><br>TRUE OR FALSE
Drupady [299]

Answer: False

Explanation:

The statement that the environment affects people, but people don't affect the environment is incorrect. It should be noted that people also affect the environment.

Some of our impact on the environment include pollution, deforestation, overpopulation, burning of fossil fuels etc. Thus has resulted in changes such as erosion, climate change, etc.

Energy is released during the fission of pu-239 atoms as a result of the
pav-90 [236]
<h2>Answer: process of converting matter into energy</h2><h2></h2>

Nuclear fission consists of dividing a heavy nucleus into two or more lighter or smaller nuclei, by means of the bombardment with neutrons to make it unstable. In this process that takes place in the atomic nucleus, neutrons, gamma rays and <u>large amounts of energy are emitted.  </u>

Then, with this division a great release of energy occurs and the emission of two or three neutrons, other particles and gamma rays.  

This means fission is a process in which energy is released by  the separation of the components of the nucleous of the atom.

In other words:

<h2>Matter is converted to energy .</h2>
