The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.
So since the boat has a lower density than the water, it will float.
So the answer is choice B
Answer:
a. 60.5 kg
Explanation:
Given data,
The maximum water a boat can displace is, 60.5 ml
According to the principle of buoyancy, the weight of the floating body is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.
Under standard temperature and pressure, a unit mass of water equals one liter.
If a boat can displace a maximum of 60.5 ml of water, then it can hold a mass of a maximum of 60.5 kg of mass.
Answer:
1/8 = (1/2)^3
This implies the sample has decayed for 3 half lives
3 * 5730 yrs = 17,200 years
I believe this is known as wave period.
hope this helps!
Well, if the skydiver is at constant velocity, than there’s no acceleration, as stated by Newton’s first law. Thus the total net force would equate to 0. In order to make this statement true, the answer would have to be exactly 600 N.
