Answer:

275.4 kg

Explanation:

specific gravity = 0.918

Density = 0.918 g/cm^3 = 918 kg/m^3

Volume = 100 gallons = 300 litres = 300 x 10^-3 m^3 = 0.3 m^3

Mass = volume x density = 0.3 x 918 = 275.4 kg

Dovator [93]

Answer:

Vs/c = 20 [m/s]

Explanation:

This is a problem of relative velocities, as velocity is a vector we can use addition or subtraction of vectors for the solution.

We are asked for the velocity of the sailboat with respect to an observer located in the canoe.

$V_{s/c}=V_{sailboat}-V_{canoe}\\V_{s/c}=15-(-5)\\V_{s/c}=20[m/s]$

Why is the speed of the canoe negative?, it is negative because the canoe moves in the opposite direction to the sailboat.

Answer:

$W=-21,870,000\ J$

Explanation:

<u>Work and Kinetic Energy </u>

The work an object does due to its motion is equal to the change of its kinetic energy. Being ko and k1 the initial and final kinetic energy respectively and m the mass of the object, then

$W=\Delta k=k_1-k_0$

Since

$\displaystyle k=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

We have

$\displaystyle W=\frac{mv_1^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}$

The truck has a mass of 60,000 kg and is moving at 27 m/s. The runaway truck ramp must stop the truck, so the final speed is 0. Thus

$\displaystyle W=\frac{(60,000)0^2}{2}-\frac{(60,000)(27)^2}{2}$

$W=0-21870000\ J$

$\boxed{W=-21,870,000\ J}$
