An object whose specific gravity is 0.850 is placed in water. What fraction of the object is below the surface of the water?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

Explanation:

Given;

specific gravity of the object, γ = 0.850

Specific gravity is given as;

specific \ gravity = \frac{density \ of the \ object}{density \ of \ water}\\\\0.85= \frac{density \ of the \ object}{1000 \ kg/m^3} \\\\density \ of the \ object = 850 \ kg/m^3

Fraction of the object's weight below the surface of water is calculated as;

= \frac{850}{1000} \ \times\ 100\%\\\\= 85 \% \\\\= \frac{17}{20}

Therefore, the fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

The conversion of sugar to energy in the presence of oxygen is
Ahat [919]

Answer:

A. respiration.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration can be defined as a series of metabolic reactions that typically occur in cells so as to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). During cellular respiration, high energy intermediates are created that can then be oxidized to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Therefore, the intermediary products are produced at the glycolysis and citric acid cycle stage.

Additionally, mitochondria provides all the energy required in the cell by transforming energy forms through series of chemical reactions; breaking down of glucose into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) used for providing energy for cellular activities in the body of living organisms.

Basically, oxygen goes into the body of a living organism such as plants, humans and animals when they breathe while glucose is absorbed by the body when they eat.

Hence, the conversion of sugar to energy in the presence of oxygen is respiration.

A car with a total mass of 1800 kg (including passengers) is driving down a washboard road with bumps spaced 4.9 m apart. The ri
Drupady [299]

Answer:

k = 9.6 x 10^5 N/m or 9.6 kN/m

Explanation:

First, we need to use the expression to calculate the spring constant which is:

w² = k/m

Solving for k:

k = w²*m

To get the angular velocity:

w = 2πf

The problem is giving the linear velocity of the car which is 5.7 m/s. With this we can calculate the frequency of the car:

f = V/x

f = 5.7 / 4.9 = 1.16 Hz

Now the angular velocity:

w = 2π*1.16

w = 7.29 rad/s

Finally, solving for k:

k = (7.29)² * 1800

k = 95,659.38 N/m

In two significant figures it'll ve 9.6 kN/m
