There is still air inside of a house, which is pushing the roof upwards, so the forces are equal and the roof is not crushed.
Answer:
12 ml
Explanation:
The initial volume in the cylinder is 20 ml
adding the rock adds volume to the cylinder
the new volume is 32 ml .....the increase in volume is the volume of the rock : 32 - 20 = 12 ml volume of rock
I’m pretty sure it’s Radioactive decay
Probably for kind of the same reason that speed is expressed as a
relationship between two units. You know, like miles per hour .
I guess the only reason is because no single unit has been invented
to describe density.
The rate of doing work or using energy would always be expressed
as a relationship between two units ... we would say that the rate of
work is "(so many) joules per second". But the "watt" was invented,
so we can say "(so many) watts" instead.
So I guess you're right. Density could be simpler to describe
if we only had a unit for it. Then we wouldn't have to say "(so many)
grams per cubic centimeter". We would just say "(so many) (new unit)".
Let's try it out:
"Uhhh, pardon me Professor . . . I've been working late in the lab,
and I believe I've identified a new substance, hitherto unknown to
the scientific community, and totally unexpected. In its pure form,
the substance appears to be pink, it smells like butterscotch, and
its density is approximately 27.4 Brianas. I think it's time we published
these findings ... with your name as lead investigator, of course."
I like it !
