Answer:

The weight of object in alcohol is, W₀ = 9.6 N

Explanation:

Given,

The weight of body in air, Wₐ = 10 N

The weight of the body in water, Wₓ = 9.5 N

The density of the alcohol, ρ = 0.8 g/cm³

= 800 kg/m³

The weight of body in water = weight of object in air - weight of water displaced

9.5 N = 10 N - weight of water displaced

Weight of water displaced = 0.5 N

The mass of the displaced water, m = 0.5 / 9.8

= 0.051 kg

Therefore the volume of the water displaced,

V = m / ρ

= 0.051 / 1000

= 5.1 x 10⁻⁵ m³

<em>The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of alcohol displaced</em>

Therefore, the mass of the alcohol displaced, = V x ρ

= 5.1 x 10⁻⁵ x 800

= 0.0405 kg

The weight of the alcohol displaced, w = 0.0405 x 9.8

= 0.4 N

Therefore,

The weight of body in alcohol = weight of object in air - weight of alcohol displaced

W₀ = W - w

= 10 N - 0.4 N

= 9.6 N

Hence, the weight of object in alcohol is, W₀ = 9.6 N

What force is required to accelerate to 10 kg object to 5.9 m/s/s?

g100num [7]

Force required to accelerate 10 kg object to 5.9 m/s/s ?

Mass = 10 kg

Acceleration = 5.9 m/s^2

Force = Mass * Acceleration

Force = 10 kg * 5.9 m/s^2

Force = 59 kg m /s^2 = 59 N

Two buses are driving along parallel freeways that are 5mi apart, one heading east and the other heading west. Assuming that eac

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

101.54m/h

Explanation:

Given that the buses are 5mi apart, and that they are both driving at the same speed of 55m/h, rate of change of distance can be determined using differentiation as;

Let l be the be the distance further away at which they will meet from the current points;

$l=\sqrt{13^2-5^2}=12m\\\\\frac{dl}{dt}=-(55m/h+55m/h})\\\\=-110m/h$ #The speed toward each other.

$\frac{dh}{dt}=0, \ \ \ \ h=constant\\\\h^2+l^2=b^2\\\\2h\frac{dh}{dt}+2l\frac{dl}{dt}=2b\frac{db}{dt}\\\\2\times5\times0+2\times12\times(-110)=2\times13\frac{db}{dt}\\\\\frac{db}{dt}=-101.54m/h$

Hence, the rate at which the distance between the buses is changing when they are 13mi apart is 101.54m/h
