Answer: SG = 2.67

Specific gravity of the sand is 2.67

Explanation:

Specific gravity = density of material/density of water

Given;

Mass of sand m = 100g

Volume of sand = volume of water displaced

Vs = 537.5cm^3 - 500 cm^3

Vs = 37.5cm^3

Density of sand = m/Vs = 100g/37.5 cm^3

Ds = 2.67g/cm^3

Density of water Dw = 1.00 g/cm^3

Therefore, the specific gravity of sand is

SG = Ds/Dw

SG = (2.67g/cm^3)/(1.00g/cm^3)

SG = 2.67

Specific gravity of the sand is 2.67

Air resistance allow objects to develop full acceleration due to gravity true or false
Aloiza [94]
False. because the object cannot freefall due to resistance, so it cannot develop full acceleration.

Permanent magnet. An induced magnet would be created when a piece of iron (for example) is in contact with a magnet. Temporary magnets would be something like an electromagnet. Bar magnets are permanently magnetic unless we heat them or hammer them to cause their domains to loose alignment.
