The match
you need to light the match before you can light anything else.

and after the match is lit, maybe light the oil lamp first

A cylindrical can 150 mm in diameter is filled to a depth of 100 mm with a fuel oil. The oil has a mass of 1.56 kg. Calculate it
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Density (φ) = 0,8827 Kg/L

Specific weight (Ws) = 8,65 N/L

Specific gravity (Gs) = 0,8827 (without unit)

Explanation:

The density formula: φ = \frac{m}{V}

I know the mass "m", I need to find out the volume of the cylinder (V)

V = π* r²*h

The radius "r" is equal to half the diameter (150mm) = 75mm

Now I can find out the density (φ)

φ = \frac{1,56Kg}{1,767145L} = 0,8827 Kg/L

The specific weight (Ws) is the relationship between the weight of substance (oil) and its volume. We apply the following formula:

Ws = φ*g

(g = gravity = 9,8 m/s²)

Finally, specific gravity (Gs) is the ratio between the density of a substance (oil) "φ(o)" and the density of water "φ(w)" :

Gs = φ(o) /  φ(w)

(φ(w) = 1 Kg/L

Hope this can help you !!

Galileo held that measurements of time were _____ and that measurements of distance were ______. absolute; relative
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

the correct answer is option A

The given blanks in the question will be filled with Absolute and relative receptively.

time is absolute means the numerical representation of time example 12:00 pm is absolute time.

Measurement of distance is relative. A relative distance is one which is represented with the reference of some other place, it is not an exact value.

A 4kg book sits on a table and your pet hamster puts his front paws on the book and pushes down with a force of 3N. What is the
Natali [406]
There are three forces acting on the book. 
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces

Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).

∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N

Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.

You observe two cars traveling in the same direction on a long, straight section of Highway 5. The red car is moving at a consta
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

1)  3.66 s

2) 124.44 m

3) 3.12 s

Explanation:

Let's start by first listing down the information in the question.

Red Car : 34 m/s

Blue Car: 28 m/s

Distance between them : 22 m

The difference in speed between the cars is: 34 - 28 = 6 m/s

This means that the red car is catching up to the blue car at a speed of 6 m/s.

1) We can solve this by just dividing the distance by the difference in speed. This becomes:    \frac{Distance}{Speed}= \frac{22}{6} =   3.66

Thus it takes 3.66 seconds for the red car to catch up to the blue car.

2) We know from (1) that it took 3.66 seconds for the red car to catch up. Since the speed it was travelling at is constant, we only need to multiply it by the time from (1) to get the distance.

This becomes:    Speed * Time = 34 * 3.66 = 124.44

Thus the red car travels 124.44 m before catching up to the blue car.

3) If the red car starts to accelerate the moment we see it, the time taken to get to the blue car will be less than before. We can find this in a simple way.

We can use the motion equation : s = u*t + \frac{1}{2}(a * t^2)

Here s = 22 m

We can take u as the difference in speed. u = 6 m/s

Acceleration a = (2/3) m/s^2

Substituting the these into the equation we get:

22 = 6t + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{3}t^2)

Solving this for the variable 't' using the quadratic formula we get the following two answers:

t1  = 3.12 s

t2 = - 21.12 s

Since t2 is not possible, the answer is t1. This means it takes 3.12 seconds for the red car to catch up to the blue.
