Answer:

a = 5.5 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the force is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF =m*a

where:

F = Force [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 20 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Let's take the force of 230 [N] as positive, in this way the other force will be negative, by pointing in the opposite direction.

230 - 120 = 20*a\\110 = 20*a\\a=5.5 [m/s^{2} ]

What is initial velocity
Lapatulllka [165]

Initial Velocity is the velocity at time interval t = 0 and it is represented by u. It is the velocity at which the motion starts. They are four initial velocity formulas: (1) If time, acceleration and final velocity are provided, the initial velocity is articulated as. u = v – at.

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

0.99m

Explanation:

Firs you calculate the relative velocity between the boat and the wave. The velocity of the boat is 5m/s and the velocity of the wave is given by:

v=\lambda f=\lambda\frac{1}{T}=(110m)\frac{1}{8.3s}=13.25\frac{m}{s}

the relative velocity is:

v'=13.25m/s-5m/s=8.25\frac{m}{s}

This velocity is used to know which is the distance traveled by the boat after 20 seconds:

x'=v't=(8.25m/s)(20s)=165m

Next, you use the general for of a wave:

f(x,t)=Acos(kx-\omega t)=Acos(\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}x-\omega t)

you take the amplitude as 2.0/2 = 1.0m.

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{8.3s}=0.75\frac{rad}{s}

by replacing the values of the parameters in f(x,t) you obtain the vertical displacement of the boat:

f(165,20)=1.0m\ cos(\frac{2\pi}{110m}(165)-(0.75\frac{rad}{s})(20s))\\\\f(165,20)=0.99m

Bird bones have air pockets in them to reduce their weight–this also gives them an average density significantly less than that
lakkis [162]

Answer:

a)39ml

b)39g

c)1.1g/ml

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this exercise use the following steps

1. When Archimedes discovered how to determine the irregular volume of an object by weighing it in the air and in an algua, he found that its volume is equal to the ratio between the differences of the masses (heavy in the air and in the water) and the density of the water (= 1g / ml)

V=\frac{43g-3.6g}{1g/ml} =39.4ml

2.as the principle of archimedes says, the displaced volume of water is equal to the volume of the bone which means that 39.4ml of water was displaced, taking into account that the density of water is the ratio between mass and volume we can determine the displaced body of water

density=\frac{m}{V} \\m=V(density)\\m=(39ml)(1g/ml)=39g

3. we use the density equation to find the bone density

density=\frac{43g}{39ml} =1.1g/ml
