A material will float on the surface of a liquid if the material has a density less than that of the liquid. given that the dens

ity of water is approximately 1.0 g/ml, will a block of material having a volume of 1.3 104 in3 and weighing 350 lb float or sink when placed in a reservoir of water?

We will first convert lb to grams and in³ to milliliters. 
350 lb : 2.205 = 158.75733 kg = 158,757.33 grams
1.3 · 10^4 in³ = 13,000 in³ = 13,000 · 0.016387064 = 213.031 liters 
213.031 liters · 1,000 = 213,031 milliliters
Density = m / V = 158,753.33 g / 213,031 ml = 0.7452 g/ ml
Answer: A block of material will float.

A human being can be electrocuted if a current as small as 51.0 ma passes near the heart. an electrician working with sweaty han
boyakko [2]

The fatal current is 51 mA = 0.051 Ampere.

The resistance is 2,050Ω .

Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

            =  (0.051 Ampere) x (2,050 Ω)  =  104.6 volts .

==================

This is what the arithmetic says IF the information in the question
is correct.

I don't know how true this is, and I certainly don't plan to test it,
but I have read that a current as small as  15 mA  through the
heart can be fatal, not  51 mA .

If 15 mA can do it, and the sweaty electrician's resistance is
really 2,050 Ω, then the fatal voltage could be as little as  31 volts !

The voltage at the wall-outlets in your house is  120 volts in the USA !
THAT's why you don't want to stick paper clips or a screwdriver into
outlets, and why you want to cover unused outlets with plastic plugs
if there are babies crawling around.

Write down short notes on:<br>c. Power​
Fudgin [204]

Answer: In the International System of Units, the unit of power is the watt, equal to one joule per second. In older works, power is sometimes called activity. Power is a scalar quantity.

Explanation: SI unit: watt (W)

In SI base units: kg⋅m2⋅s−3

Derivations from other quantities: P = E/t; P = F...

To a good approximate, the only external force that does work on a cyclist moving on level ground is the force of air resistance
mart [117]

Answer:

a. 120 W

b. 28.8 N

Explanation:

To a good approximate, the only external force that does work on a cyclist moving on level ground is the force of air resistance. Suppose a cyclist is traveling at 15 km/h on level ground. Assume he is using 480 W of metabolic power.

a. Estimate the amount of power he uses for forward motion.

b. How much force must he exert to overcome the force of air resistance?

(a) He is 25% efficient, therefore the cyclist will be expending 25% of his power to drive the bicycle forward

Power = efficiency X metabolic power

= 0.25 X 480

= 120 W

(b)

power if force times the velocity

P = Fv

convert  15 km/h to m/s

v = 15 kmph = 4.166 m/s

F = P/v

= 120/4.166

= 28.8 N

definition of terms

power is the rate at which work is done

force is that which changes a body's state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line

velocity is the change in displacement per unit time.

A particle was moving in a straight line at 172.8 km/hr. If it decelerated over 120 meters to come to rest, find the time taken
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

v=s/t

s=vt

t=s/v

t=(120×10‐³)/172.8

(the distance meters has been changed to kilometres)

t=1/1440 hrs
