Answer:

Explanation:

If an object has a higher density than the fluid it is in (fluid can mean liquid or gas), it will sink. If it has a lower density, it will float. Density is determined by an object's mass and volume. If two objects take up the same volume, but have one has more mass, then it also has a higher density.

The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.

Answer:

Plane will 741.6959 m apart after 1.7 hour

Explanation:

We have given time = 1.7 hr

So if we draw the vectors of a 2d graph we see that the difference in angles is = $102^{\circ}-65.3^{\circ}=36.7^{\circ}$

Speed of first plane = 730 m/h

So distance traveled by first plane = 730×1.7 = 1241 m

Speed of second plane = 590 m/hr

So distance traveled by second plane = 590×1.7 = 1003 m

We represent these distances as two sides of the triangle, and the distance between the planes as the side opposing the angle 58.6.

Using the law of cosine, $r^2$ representing the distance between the planes, we see that:

$r^2=1241^2+1003^2-2\times 1003\times 1241cos(36.7)=550112.8295$

r = 741.6959 m

andrey2020 [161]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force, $F=(-8\ N)i+(6\ N)j$

Position vector, $r=(3i+4j)\ m$

(a) The torque on the particle about the origin is given by :

$\tau=F\times r\\\\\tau=(-8i+6j)\times (3i+4j)\\\\\tau=(-50k)\ N-m$

(b) To find the angle between r and F use dot product formula as :

$F{\cdot} r=|F||r|\ \cos\theta\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{F{\cdot} r}{|F| |r|}\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{(-8i+6j){\cdot} (3i+4j)}{\sqrt{(-8)^2+6^2} \times \sqrt{3^2+4^2} }\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{-24+24}{\sqrt{(-8)^2+6^2} \times \sqrt{3^2+4^2} }\\\\\cos\theta=0\\\\\theta=90^{\circ}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

v = 12.86 km/h

v = 3.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The distance, d = 13.5 km

The time, t = 21/20 h

= 1.05 h

The velocity of a body is defined as the distance traveled by the time taken.

v = d / t

= 13.5 km / 1.05 h

= 12.86 km/h

The conversion of km/h to m/s

1 km/h = 0.28 m/s

12.86 km/h = 12.86 x 0.28 m/s

= 3.6 m/s

Hence, the velocity in m/s is, v = 3.6 m/s
