Answer:

4N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of stone when immersed in water  = 18N

Weight of water displaced  = 4N

Unknown:

Weight of the stone in air  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we employ the Archimedes' principles.

It states that the upward buoyant force on a body is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.

The weight of the water displaced is equal to the weight of the body.

So, the weight of the stone in air  = 4N

1. How do energy and matter recycle in a closed-loop system?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

In a closed-loop system, matter is used to generate energy, and the energy generated is used to produce matter, and the cycle goes on without end.

Explanation:

A closed-loop system is one in which materials or energy is recycled without end through a production cycle. This means that a raw material is used to produce a finished product, and the finished product at the end of its use cycle is converted back and used as a raw material to produce more of it again. Energy and matter can also be cycled in the same way in an energy and matter closed-loop system, converting matter to energy, and the energy is put back into the production of more of the matter.

Two cars, a Porsche Boxster convertible and a Toyota Scion xB, are traveling at constant speeds in the same direction. Suppose,
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

It will take 29.31 seconds for the Boxster to catch the Scion

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

lets say Toyota Scion xB is car A and Porsche Boxster convertible is B and Toyota Scion xB is car A

the distance travelled by car A is

x = V_{A} × t

where  V_{A} is the speed of the car and t is time

the distance travelled by car B before reaching car A will be;

x + x₀ = V_{B} × t

Now lets replace x by V_{A} × t

so

(V_{A} × t) + x₀ = V_{B} × t

x₀ = (V_{B} × t) - (V_{A} × t)

x₀ = t (V_{B} - V_{A})

t = x₀ /  (V_{B} - V_{A})

so we substitute

t = 170 m  /  (24.4 - 18.6)  

t = 170 / 5.8

t = 29.31 s

Therefore; it will take 29.31 s for the Boxster to catch the Scion

If the momentum of a 1000 kg car travelling at 10 m/s was transferred completely to a 20.0 kg traffic barrier, what would the fi
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

d. 500 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum: This is the product of the mass of a body to its velocity, The S.I unit of momentum is kgm/s.

Mathematically, momentum can be expressed as,

M = mv....................... equation 1

Where M = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity

deduced from the question,

Momentum of the car = momentum of the barrier.

MV = mv ............................. Equation 1

Where M = mass of the car, V = velocity of the car, m = mass of the barrier, v = velocity of the barrier.

making v the subject of the equation,

v = MV/m........................ Equation 2

Given: M = 1000 kg, V = 10 m/s, m = 20 kg.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 1000(10)/20

v = 500 m/s.

Hence the speed of the barrier = 500 m/s

The right option is d. 500 m/s

1. A truck was pulling a R.V. Away from the end of the cliff. The chain broke and the RV fell to the ground. If the truck had an
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The force of impact, F = 17682.18 N

Explanation:

Given,

The initial velocity of the truck and associated velocity of RV, u = 2 m/s

The height of the cliff, h = 280 ft

                                        = 85.344 m

The mass of the RV, m = 1800 Kg

The total energy of the RV at height, 'h' with velocity, 'v', E = P.E + K.E

                                P.E = mgh J

                                       = 1800 x 9.8 x 85.344

                                      = 1505468.16 J

                                K.E = mv²/2

                                       = 1800 x 2² / 2

                                      =3600 J

Therefore total energy, E = 1509068.16 J

This is equal to the kinetic energy of RV at the impact.

The force of impact,

                                      F = E/h

                                         = 1509068.16 J / 85.344 m

                                         = 17682.18 N

Hence, the force of impact of RV is, F = 17682.18 N

Test yourself: 1
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

F = 1500 [N]

Explanation:

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

ΣF = m*a

F = 1000*1.5

F = 1500 [N]
