Using the principle of floatation.
u = w............(a)
Upthrust of fluid is equal to the weight of the object.
Let the volume of the wood be V.
The upthrust u, is related to the volume submerged in water, and that is 1/5 of it volume, that is (1/5)V = 0.2V
Formula for upthrust, u = vdg
where v = volume of fluid displaced
d = density of fluid
g = acceleration due to gravity
weight, w = mg
where m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
From (a)
u = w
vdg = mg Cancel out g
vd = m
The v is equal to 0.2V, which is the submerged volume. Notice that the small letter v is volume of fluid displaced, and capital V is the volume of the solid.
d is density of fluid which is water in this case, 1000 kg/m³
0.2V * 1000 = m
200V = m
Hence the mass of the object is 200V kg.
But Density of solid = Mass of solid / Volume of solid
= 200V / V
= 200 kg/m³
Density of solid = 200 kg/m³
Answer:
285 seconds
Explanation:
Jenny speed is 3.8 m/s
Alyssa speed in 4.0 m/s
Alyssa starts after 15 seconds
Find the distance covered by Jenny, when Alyssa starts
Distance=Speed*time
Distance covered by Jenny in 15 seconds= 3.8×15=57m
Relative speed of the two members heading same direction will be;
4.0m/s-3.8m/s=0.2m/s
To find the time Alyssa catch up with Jenny you divide the distance to be covered by Alyssa by the relative speed of the two
Distance=57m, relative speed=0.2m/s t=57/0.2 =285 seconds
=4.75 minutes
Answer:
The acceleration of the ball is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The maximum height the ball reachs is 
The horizontal component of the initial velocity of the ball is 
The vertical component of the initial velocity of the ball is 
The vertically motion of the ball can be mathematically represented as
Here the final velocity at the maximum height is zero so 
Making the acceleration 
the subject we have
substituting values
The negative sign shows that the direction of the acceleration is in the negative y-axis
Charge is measured in coulombs.
