Answer:

1.8 = relative density (there are no units for relative density)

Explanation:

It displaces water equal to it's volume and gets buoyancy equal to that amount of water

2.7 - 1.2  = 1.5  N  of buoyancy

density of water = 1 gm /cc

 1.5 N = m (9.81)

    m of water displaced = .1529 kg

             152.9 cc of water will produce this buoyancy....this is the volume of the object

   

find mass of object     2.7 = m (9.81)     shows m = .2752 kg = 272.5 gm

density = mass/ volume = 272.5 / 152.9 = 1.8 gm / cc

Relative to water (which is 1 gm / cc) the relative density is 1.8

  ====> it is 1.8 times denser than water and will sink when in water....

A person throws a ball straight up in the air. The ball rises to a maximum height and then falls back down so that the person ca
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The acceleration is about 9.8 m/s2 (down) when the ball is falling.

Explanation:

The ball at maximum height has velocity zero

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² (positive downward and negative upward)

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=u-9.8\times t\\\Rightarrow u=9.8t

The accleration 9.8 m/s² will always be acting on the body in opposite direction when the body is going up and in the same direction when the body is going down. The acceleration on the body will never be zero

Take the mechanical equivalent of heat as 4 J/cal. A 10-g bullet moving at 2000 m/s plunges
klasskru [66]

Assuming that all the bullet’s energy heats the paraffin, its final temperature is 27.1 degree C. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is temperature?</h3>

Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness of the material.

The energy of the bullet E = 1/2 mv²

E = 1/2 x 10 x 10⁻³ x (2000)²

E = 2 x 10⁴ J

This heat is used in heating the paraffin

E = m x c ΔT = m x c (Tfinal -Tinitial)

2 x 10⁴ J = 1 x 2.8 x 10³ x (Tfinal -20)

Tfinal = 27.1°C

Thus, the final temperature is 27.1 degree C. The correct option is D.
