Answer:
The acceleration of Chevy Corvette is 
.
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial speed of Chevy Corvette Z06, u = 0 (it starts from rest)
Final speed of Chevy Corvette Z06, v = 60 mph
1 mph = 0.44704 m/s
60 mph = 26.82 m/s
Time, t = 3 seconds
We need to find the acceleration of Chevy Corvette. The rate of change of velocity is called acceleration of an object. It is given by :
So, the acceleration of Chevy Corvette is . Hence, this is the required solution.
Density = (mass) / (volume)
4,000 kg/m³ = (mass) / (0.09 m³)
Multiply each side
by 0.09 m³ : (4,000 kg/m³) x (0.09 m³) = mass
mass = 360 kg .
Force of gravity = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)
= (360 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)
= (360 x 9.8) kg-m/s²
= 3,528 newtons .
That's the force of gravity on this block, and it doesn't matter
what else is around it. It could be in a box on the shelf or at
the bottom of a swimming pool . . . it's weight is 3,528 newtons
(about 793.7 pounds).
Now, it won't seem that heavy when it's in the water, because
there's another force acting on it in the upward direction, against
gravity. That's the buoyant force due to the displaced water.
The block is displacing 0.09 m³ of water. Water has 1,000 kg of
mass in a m³, so the block displaces 90 kg of water. The weight
of that water is (90) x (9.8) = 882 newtons (about 198.4 pounds),
and that force tries to hold the block up, against gravity.
So while it's in the water, the block seems to weigh
(3,528 - 882) = 2,646 newtons (about 595.2 pounds) .
But again ... it's not correct to call that the "force of gravity acting
on the block in water". The force of gravity doesn't change, but
there's another force, working against gravity, in the water.
Our primary method for localizing sound in the horizontal plane is to compare the arrival time of sound at each ear.
