<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

How do you calculate acceleration
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: acceleration is equal to the change in velocity per unit time in seconds.

a= ∆v / t = vf - vi / t

Explanation: change in velocity or ∆v can be expressed as (vf - vi)

B. If you press that into a calculator it comes up with 153.6. You then shift the decimal point 2 times forward and you end up getting 1.5 x 10^2 V.

a bike is moving with a velocity of 90km/hr.after applying break it stops in 5 sec. calculate the force applied by brakes .mass
pentagon [3]

Explanation:

initial velocity(u) = 90 km/s = 25 m/s

time (t) = 5 sec

mass (m) = 200 kg 

final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

v = u + at 

0 = 25 + a * 5

-25 = 5 a

-5 = a

Therefore acceleration = -5m/s²

Force = mass * acceleration 

F = 200*-5

F = -1000 N
