Begin any simulation, and turn on Gravity Force in the central menu on the right. The gravity force arrow shows the direction an

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The gravity arrow for each body rotates, always pointing toward the other body. Both arrows grow longer when the bodies come closer to one another and shorter when they move farther apart. This change shows that the gravitational force is stronger the closer together the bodies are.

To determine an athlete's body fat, she is weighed first in air and then again while she's completely underwater. it is found th

il63 [147K]

The difference in weight is due to the displacement of water (the buoyancy of water is acting on the athlete thus giving her smaller weight).<span>

The amount of weight displaced or the amount of buoyant force is: </span>

Fb = 690 N - 48 N

Fb = 642 N

From newtons law, F = m*g. Using this formula, we can calculate for the mass of water displaced:

m of water displaced = 642N / 9.8m/s^2

m of water displaced = 65.5 kg

Assuming a water density of 1 kg/L, and using the formula volume = mass/density:

V of water displaced = 65.5kg / 1kg/L = 65.5 L

The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of athlete. Therefore:

V of athlete = 65.5 L

The mass of athlete can also be calculated using, F = m*g

m of athlete = 690 N/ 9.8m/s^2

m of athlete = 70.41 kg

Knowing the volume and mass of athlete, her average density is therefore:

average density = 70.41 kg / 65.5 L

<span>average density = 1.07 kg/L = 1.07 g/mL</span>

A race car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to 69 mph in 4.5 s.

Marizza181 [45]

For this question we should apply
a = v^2 - u^2 by t
a = 69 - 0 by 4.5
a = 69 by 4.5
a = 15.33
a = 6.85 m/s^2

If the answer in option is near to answer then , you can mark it as correct.
.:. The acceleration is 6.9 m/s^2

The time, t, required to drive a fixed distance varies inversely as the speed, r. It takes 3 hr at a speed of 14 km/h to driv

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

time taken with speed 23 km/h will be 1.8 hours or 1 hour 48 minutes

Explanation:

Given:

Time is inversely proportional to the speed

mathematically,

t ∝ (1/r)

let the proportionality constant be 'k'

thus,

t = k/r

therefore, for case 1

time = 3 hr

speed = 14 km/hr

3 = k/14

also,

for case 2

let the time be = t

r = 23 km/h

thus,

we have

t = k/23

on dividing equation 2 by 1

we get

$\frac{t}{3}=\frac{k/23}{k/14}$

or

$t=\frac{14\times3}{23}$

or

t = 1.8 hr = or 1 hour 48 minutes ( 0.8 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 48 minutes)
