<h3>Answer:</h3>

5.5 N

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

Real weight of an object in air as 10 N
Apparent weight in water as 7 N
Relative density of a liquid is 1.5

We need to calculate the apparent weight when in liquid .

First we calculate upthrust

Upthrust = Real weight - Apparent weight

= 10 N - 7 N

= 3 N

Then calculate the upthrust in the liquid.

we need to know that;

Relative density of a liquid = Upthrust in liquid/Upthrust in water

Therefore;

1.5 = U ÷ 3 N

Upthrust in liquid = 3 N × 1.5

= 4.5 N

Therefore, the upthrust of the object in the liquid is 4.5 N

But, Upthrust = Real weight - Apparent weight

Therefore;

Apparent weight in Liquid = Real weight - Upthrust

= 10 N - 4.5 N

= 5.5 N

Thus, the weight when the object is immersed in the liquid is 5.5 N

Which fossil fuel is produced as a by-product that occurs when bacteria decompose organic material under anaerobic conditions?

Mumz [18]

Bio-gas is the naturally produced fossil fuel, a by-product when bacteria decompose organic material under anaerobic conditions.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Organic matter particularly waste material is broken down by bacteria through fermentation in an environmental condition without any presence of oxygen. This process of decomposition leads to formation of bio-gas with "carbon dioxide and methane" in a 2:3 ratio.

The above biological process is termed as bio-digestion or anaerobic digestion. Methane is flammable and thus bio-gas can be used as "energy source", a waste-to-energy transformation. The remaining decomposed matter is ideal as manure for plants due to its rich nutrient level.

Cheryl is riding on the edge of a merry-go-round, 2m from the center, which is rotating with an increasing angular speed. Cheryl

WINSTONCH [101]

In circular motion we know that there is two type of acceleration that Cheryl experience

1. Tangential acceleration

2. Centripetal acceleration

here given that

$a_t = 3 m/s^2$

for centripetal acceleration we know that

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{R}$

$a_c = \frac{4^2}{2} = 8 m/s^2$

now we know that both centripetal acceleration and tangential acceleration is perpendicular to each other

so total acceleration is vector sum of both and given as

$a_{net} = \sqrt{8^2 + 3^2} = 8.54 m/s^2$

so total acceleration is 8.54 m/s^2

A long-distance runner is running at a constant speed of 5 m/s.

vivado [14]

Answer:

3.33 minutes (3 minutes and 20 seconds)

Explanation:

Speed of the runner = s = 5 m/s

We need to calculate how will it take for runner to complete 1 km. We have the speed, the distance and we need to find the time. Before performing any calculations, we must convert the values to same units.

Speed is in m/s and distance is in kilometers. So we have to either convert speed to km/s or distance into meters. In this case, converting distance into meters would be a convenient option.

1 kilo meters = 1000 meters

The distance, speed and time are related by the equation:

Distance = Speed x Time

So,

Time = Distance/Speed

Using the values, we get:

t = 1000/5

t = 200 seconds

This means, the runner can complete 1 kilometers in 200 seconds. Since, there are 60 seconds in a minute, we can convert this time to minutes, by dividing it by 60. i.e.

$200 \text{ sec} = \frac{200}{60} \text{ min} = 3.33 \text{ min}$

Thus, it will take the runner 3.33 minutes (3 minutes and 20 seconds) to travel 1 km.
