Answer:

A) 50 seconds

B) 200 m

Explanation:

They are 500 metres apart.

And one of the bike loves at 6 m/s while the other loves at 4 m/s.

A) Let distance of the 6 m/s bike before they meet be x.

Thus, time = x/6

Since time = distance/speed

For the second bike at 4 m/s, his distance covered before they meet will be 500 - x

Thus, time = (500 - x)/4

Now they will meet each other at the same time. Thus;

x/6 = (500 - x)/4

Cross multiply to get;

4x = 3000 - 6x

6x + 4x = 3000

10x = 3000

x = 3000/10

x = 300 m

Thus, time will be;

t = 300/6

t = 50 seconds

B) Distance covered by the slower bike is (500 - x)

Since from a above, x = 300

Thus; distance = 500 - 300 = 200 m

Components grouped together for a particular function form a _____ system.

Alina [70]

A natural system is formed when components are grouped together so as to perform a more specific function or use. In addition, this system is bound to exist without any human interference. Biological and non-biological components work hand-in-hand as they do nature processes.

Answer:

a) El valor de la densidad es 0.79 $\frac{g}{cm^{3} }$ o 790 $\frac{g}{cm^{3} }$

b) El peso especifico es 7749.9 $\frac{N}{m^{3} }$

Explanation:

a) La densidad se define como la propiedad que tiene la materia, ya sean sólidos, líquidos o gases, para comprimirse en un espacio determinado. En otras palabras, la densidad es una magnitud que permite medir la cantidad de masa que hay en determinado volumen de una sustancia. Entonces, la expresión para el cálculo de la densidad es el cociente entre la masa de un cuerpo y el volumen que ocupa:

$d=\frac{m}{V}$
