6 0

Answer:

0.87

Explanation:

To solve this, we use the principle of Archimedes. Archimedes Principal of flotation states that "the buoyant force of an object is equal to the total weight of the fluid it displaces."

In the attachment, I stated the mathemacal formula, of which

F(B) = The buoyant force

w(fl) = The weight of the salt water displaced

p(iron) = density of iron

p(salt) = density of the salt water = 1025 kg/m³

F' = weight of the iron in air

F = weight of the iron in salt water

p(man) = density of man = 7680 kg/m³

The rest are the easy calculations done by substituting the values

What force in Newton is required to accelerate a car starting from rest to 20 m/s in 15 seconds if the mass of the car is 2500 k
Lyrx [107]

We will solve this question using the second law of motion which states that force is directly equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

\sf \: F=ma

Where,

  • F is force
  • m is mass
  • a is acceleration

In our case,

  • F = ?
  • m = 2500 kg
  • a = 20m/s

\tt \: F_{net}  = 2500 \times 20 \\   \tt= 50000

<em>Thus, The force of 50000 Newton is required to accelerate a car of 2500 kg...~</em>

The volume of an object as a function of time is calculated by v = At3+B÷t where t is time measured in seconds and v is in cubic
madam [21]

Answer:

A = m³/s³ = [L]³/[T]³ = [L³T⁻³]

B = m³s = [L³T]

Explanation:

We have the equation:

V = At³ + B/t

where, the dimensions of each variable are as follows:

V = m³ = [L]³

t = s = [T]

substituting these in equation, we get:

m³ = A(s)³ + B/s

for the homogeneity of the equation:

A(s)³ = m³

<u>A = m³/s³ = [L]³/[T]³ = [L³T⁻³]</u>

Also,

B/s = m³

<u>B = m³s = [L³T]</u>
