Answer:

24 cm/s

Explanation:

Applying

Pythagoras theorem,

a² = b²+c²............. Equation 1

Where a = resultant, b = vertical component, c = horizontal component

From the question,

Given: a = 26 cm/s, c = 10 cm/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

26² = b²+10²

676 = b²+100

b² = 676-100

b² = 576

b = √576

b = 24 cm/s

Question 9
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

F=ma

given solution

v=12m/s a=v/t

s=6 sec =12m/s÷6sec

=2m/s^2 then we get acceleration now we will find the mass. first derive the the formula of mass by crisis cross then you will get this formula which is m=F/a

=36÷2

= 18

If your chunk of gold weighed 1 N in which case would you have the largest mass of gold?
kotykmax [81]
Ah ha !  Very interesting question.
Thought-provoking, even.

You have something that weighs 1 Newton, and you want to know 
the situation in which the object would have the greatest mass.

          Weight = (mass) x (local gravity)

          Mass  =  (weight) / (local gravity)

          Mass  =  (1 Newton) / (local gravity)

"Local gravity" is the denominator of the fraction, so the fraction
has its greatest value when 'local gravity' is smallest.  This is the
clue that gives it away.

If somebody offers you 1 chunk of gold that weighs 1 Newton,
you say to him:

   "Fine !  Great !  Golly gee, that's sure generous of you.  
But before you start weighing the chunk to give me, I want you
to take your gold and your scale to Pluto, and weigh my chunk
there.   And if you don't mind, be quick about it."

The local acceleration of gravity on Pluto is  0.62 m/s² ,
but on Earth, it's 9.81 m/s.

So if he weighs 1 Newton of gold for you on Pluto, its mass will be
1.613 kilograms, and it'll weigh 15.82 Newtons here on Earth. 

That's almost 3.6 pounds of gold, worth over $57,000 !


It would be even better if you could convince him to weigh it on
Halley's Comet, or on any asteroid.  Wherever he's willing to go
that has the smallest gravity.  That's the place where the largest
mass weighs 1 Newton.

A piece of wood has a volume of 4.6 cm to the power of 3, and a mass of 3.7 g what is the density of the wood
AysviL [449]

Density is given by:

D = M/V

D = density, M = mass, V = volume

Given values:

M = 3.7g, V = 4.6cm³

Plug in and solve for D:

D = 3.7/4.6

D = 0.80g/cm³
