The picture isn’t clear so I can’t read the dimensions of the box but I can try my best to guide u through the question.

For part a u need to find the volume of the box as that will equal the volume of sand that can be filled inside.
For this u multiply the height, width and length of the box.

For part b the mass of sand alone will be
=Mass of box + sand - Mass of empty box
=216 - 40
=176 grams

For part c the density of sand can be calculated by the formula
Density= Mass/Volume
So the mass (176g) / volume from part a

For part d u need to know that something will float if it has a lower density than what it is floating in. If the final density of sand that was found in part c is less than the density of gold (19.3 g/cm^3) it will float. Otherwise it will sink.

Hope this helped!

A car is going south on I-69 at 33 m/s (74 mph). The car has good brakes so its maximum braking acceleration is – 8.5 m/s^2 . Tr

Answer:

1.69515 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-33^2}{2\times -8.5}\\\Rightarrow s=64.06\ m$

The distance between the traffic and the car after braking is 120-64.06 = 55.94 m

Time = Distance / Speed

$\text{Time}=\frac{55.94}{33}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time}=1.69515\ seconds$

The reaction time cannot be more than 1.69515 seconds

______ energy is defined as the energy of motion.

MatroZZZ [7]

Kinetic energy is defined as the energy of motion. On the other hand, potential energy is the energy of non-motion.
Hope that helped =)

What is the difference between tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration?

Nuetrik [128]

Centripetal acceleration is directed along a radius so it may also be called the radial acceleration. If the speed is not constant, then there is also a tangential acceleration (at). The tangential acceleration is, indeed, tangent to the path of the particle's motion.

A speeder passes a parked police car at a constant speed of 23.3 m/s. At that instant, the police car starts from rest with a un

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

32s

Explanation:

We must establish that by the time the police car catches up to the speeder, both have travelled a certain distance during the same amount of time. However, the police car experiences accelerated motion whereas the speeder travels at a constant velocity. Therefore we will establish two formulas for distance starting with the speeder's distance:

$x=vt=23.3\frac{m}{s}t$

and the police car distance:

$x=vt+\frac{at^{2}}{2}=0+\frac{2.75\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}}{2}=0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Since they both travel the same distance x, we can equal both formulas and solve for t:

$0 = 0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t^{2}-23.3\frac{m}{s} t\\\\0=t(0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-23.3\frac{m}{s} )\\\\$

Two solutions exist to the equation; the first one being $t=0$

The second solution will be:

$0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t=23.3\frac{m}{s}\\\\t=\frac{23.3\frac{m}{s}}{0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=32s$

This result allows us to confirm that the police car will take 32s to catch up to the speeder
