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!

The slider of mass m is released from rest in position A and slides without friction along the vertical-plane guide shown. Deter

The value of normal force as the slider passes point B is

6 mg

The value of h when the normal force is zero

3R/2

<h3>How to solve for the normal force</h3>

The normal force is calculated using the work energy principle which is applied as below

K₁ + U₁ = K₂

k represents kinetic energy

U represents potential energy

the subscripts 1,2 , and 3 = a, b, and c

for 1 to 2

K₁ + W₁ = K₂

0 + mg(h + R) = 0.5mv²₂

g(h + R) = 0.5v²₂

v²₂ = 2g(1.5R + R)

v²₂ = 2g(2.5R)

v²₂ = 5gR

Using summation of forces at B

Normal force, N = ma + mg

N = m(a + g)

N = m(v²₂/R + g)

N = m(5gR/R + g)

N = 6mg

for 1 to 3

K₁ + W₁ = K₃ + W₃

0 + mgh = 0.5mv²₃ + mgR

gh = 0.5v²₃ + gR

0.5v²₃ = gh - gR

v²₃ = 2g(h - R)

at C

for normal force to be zero

ma = mg

v²₃/R = g

v²₃ = gR

and v²₃ = 2g(h - R)

gR = 2gh - 2gR

gR + 2gR = 2gh

3gR = 2gh

3R/2 = h

A ship leaves the island of Guam and sails a distance 255 km at an angle 49.0 o north of west. Part A: In which direction must i

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall represent displacement in vector form .Consider east as x axes and north as Y axes west as - ve x axes and south as - ve Y axes . 255 km can be represented by the following vector

D₁ = - 255 cos 49 i + 255 sin49 j

= - 167.29 i + 192.45 j

Let D₂ be the further displacement which lands him 125 km east . So the resultant displacement is

D = 125 i

D₁ + D₂ = D

- 167.29 i + 192.45 j + D₂ = 125 i

D₂ = 125 i + 167.29 i - 192.45 j

= 292.29 i - 192.45 j

Angle of D₂ with x axes θ

tan θ = -192.45 / 292.29

= - 0.658

θ = 33.33 south of east

Magnitude of D₂

D₂² = ( 192.45)² + ( 292.29)²

D₂ = 350 km approx

A motorist is driving at 20m/s when she sees that a traffic light 200m ahead has just turned red. She knows that this light stay

yuradex [85]

Answer:

5.71428571422 m/s

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity = 20 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Time taken = 15-1 = 14 s

Distance traveled in 1 second = $20\times 1=20\ m$

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 200-20=20\times 14+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 14^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{2(180-20\times14)}{14^2}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.02040816327\ m/s^2$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=20-1.02040816327\times 14\\\Rightarrow v=5.71428571422\ m/s$

The speed as she reaches the light at the instant it turns green is 5.71428571422 m/s

explain why a high-speed collision between two cars would cause more damage than a low-speed collision between the same two cars

9966 [12]

The force equation can easily prove this. F=ma. This states that the force on an object is equal to mass times acceleration. If the mass stays the same and the velocity of the cars increases than that means there is a larger force. This is because in both cases the cars are stopping in almost an instant and the times of the crashes are theoretically identical. Acceleration is the change in velocity over time. If the velocity is higher with the same amount of time than that means there is a higher acceleration. If you plug a higher acceleration into the force equation then you wind up with a higher force and in turn a more damaging collision.

Distance = speed x time

distance = 116 x 10

distance = 1160 m
