Elden [556K]2 years ago

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....

Basalt, formed from magma, contains iron-rich minerals. Why is this important?
Svetach [21]
Iron is a magnetic metal, and it is essential to the Earth's magnetic field!
Essentially it "records" (stores the information, maintains) the direction and orientation of the magnetic field.

Among others, the magnetic field protects the Earth from dangerous cosmic rays.

Select the correct statement about osmolarity. a) Osmolarity measures the moles of solute per liter of solution. b) The contents
8090 [49]

Answer:

a) Osmolarity measures the moles of solute per liter of solution.

Explanation:

Osmolarity is defined as the number of moles of solute that contribute to the osmotic pressure, per liter of solution, of solution. That is, the measurement of the solute concentration. The prefix "osmo-" indicates the possible variation of the osmotic pressure in the cells, which will occur when the solution is introduced into the body.

What is the transition from a gas to a liquid?

How much time will elapse between seeing and hearing an event?
julia-pushkina [17]

Depends on how far away the event is and what the temperature is as this affects the speed of sound.

For example, let's say you're 600 meters away and the temperature has no affect.

The speed of sound would be roughly 340 m/s so the time it would take to hear the sound would be 600/340 = 1.76 seconds

The speed of light (c) is 3.0 X 10^8 m/s so the time it would take to see the event would be 600/3 X 10^8 = 2 X 10^-7

Subtract: 1.76 - (2 X 10^-7) = approx. 1.76
