When an object floats in water, it displaces a volume of water that has a weight equal to the weight of the object. If a ship ha

s a weight of 4247 tons, how many cubic feet of seawater will it displace? Seawater has a density of 1.025 g·cm-3; 1 ton = 2000 lb. (Enter your answer in scientific notation.)

The amount of seawater that will be displaced would be 1.3274 x 10^5  ft^3

<h3>Density and volume</h3>

Density = mass/volume.

Since a floating object displaces its own weight, a 4247 tons ship will also displace the same amount of water.

4247 tons of seawater = 3.8528 x 10^9 g

volume of 3.8528 x 10^9 g seawater = mass/density = 3.8528 x 10^9 g/1.025 = 3758829268.29 cubic centimeter.

3758829268.29 cm^3 = 132741.80 ft^3 or 1.3274 x 10^5  ft^3

What would be your best course of action if exposed to this hazard?
Olenka [21]

Answer: Option C) Rinse the affected area with cool water for 10-15 minutes.

Explanation:

Once exposed to burns, whether chemical or heat, rinse the affected area of the body with cool water, as water is known to dissolve all burning particles attached to the skin, and cool off the blood vessels lying beneath the burned surface.

Unlike other options provided, rinsing affected area with cool water is the best first aid for skin burns

The potential energy of a 25 kg bicycle resting at the top of a 3 m high hill is what?
Umnica [9.8K]
Potential energy<span> is the </span>energy<span> that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position.  It is calculated by the expression as follows:

PE = mgh
PE = 25 (9.8) (3)
PE = 735 J

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

In most cases of fischer esterification, the carboxylic acid is the more "valuable" piece and the alcohol is used in excess. let
Daniel [21]
There are a lot of separation processes. To name a few, these can be distillation, centrifugation, extraction, membrane or sorption process and many other. To know which is the best technique, you should know the property between two substances that have a stark difference. In this case, it is the polarity. Ethyl alcohol is more polar than ethyl ester and less dense. Thus, these two won't mix. So, take advantage of their density difference by decantation or centrifugation.
