Explanation:

weight of water displaced=weight of sphere,

Since,  plastic sphere floats in water with 50.0% of its volume submerged

so, water=2 sphere,

so sphere's density = 1/2 of water's  density

Now,  weight of glycerin displaced=weight of sphere,

Also given This same sphere floats in glycerin with 40.0% of its volume submerged.

so glycerin =2.5 sphere,

so sphere's density = .4 of glycerin's = 1/2 of water's.

So glycerin = 1.25 water

when a stationary rugby ball is kicked, it is contact with a player's about for 0.05 s. during this short time, the ball acceler
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

30 m/s

Explanation:

Applying,

v = u+at................ Equation 1

Where v = final speed of the ball, u = initial speed of the ball, a = acceleration, t = time.

From the question,

Given: u = 0 m/s (stationary), a = 600 m/s², t = 0.05 s

Substitute these values into equation 5

v = 0+(600×0.05)

v = 30 m/s

Hence the speed at which the ball leaves the player's boot is 30 m/s

Un auto si muove lungo una strada rettilinea​
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Un'auto si muove lungo un percorso rettilineo con velocità variabile come mostrato in figura. Quando l'auto è in possesso di A, la sua velocità è 10 ms-1 e quando è in posizione B, la sua velocità è 20 ms-1. Se l'auto impiega 5 secondi per spostarsi da A a B, trova l'accelerazione dell'auto.

What happens to the acceleration of an object if the net force that acts on it triples in magnitude?
poizon [28]

F=ma Force is equal to mass times acceleration.


So looking at the equation if mass stays the same but we make F three times larger then acceleration will become 3 times larger as well because the equation must remain equal on both sides.


just multiply both sides of the equation F=ma times 3. So 3xF=3x ma

The way matter moves in a longitudinal wave
serg [7]

Answer:

A longitudinal wave is a type of mechanical wave, or wave that travels through matter, called the medium. In a longitudinal wave, particles of the medium vibrate in a direction that is parallel to the direction that the wave travels. Places where particles of the medium crowd closer together are called compression's.

The distance between Earth and Mars is 225 million km. When converted using the conversion factor 1 AU = 1.5 × 108 km, the dista
SIZIF [17.4K]
I guess the problem is asking for the distance between Earth and Mars in Astronomical Units (AU).

Since 1 AU = 1.5 \cdot 10^8 km
and the distance between the two planets is
d=225 mil. km= 2.25 \cdot 10^8 km
we can convert this distance into AU by using the following proportion:
1 AU : 1.5 \cdot 10^8 km = x : 2.25 \cdot 10^8 km

from which we find
x= \frac{1 AU \cdot 2.25 \cdot 10^8 km}{1.5 \cdot 10^8 km} =1.5 AU
