A 0.8 kg object displaces 500 mL of water. What is its specific gravity?

Physics
1 answer:
Airida [17]3 years ago

The specific gravity is how the density of the object compares to the density of water. Water's density is 1gram per milliliter. We just need to figure out the density of the object.

The object is .8 kg and it displaces 500mL of water, so the density is the mass divided by the volume. Since the density of water is given in grams, we have to convert the objects mass from kg to g and then we can get the density.

.8kg * 1000g/kg = 800 grams

So

800g/500ml = 1.6grams/mL this is the density.

So divide the density of your object by the density of water, which is 1g/mL, you get 1.6 as the specific gravity. This means the object is 1.6 times more dense than water.

densk [106]
  • Voltage=V=120V
  • Power=P=60W

  • Current=I

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail I=\dfrac{P}{V}=\dfrac{60}{120}=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5A

What is the relationship between the strength of a bond (single vs double vs triple) and its wave-number on an IR spectrum? As t
Elanso [62]

<u>Explanation</u>

  • The relationship between the strength of a bond (single vs double vs triple) and its wave-number on an IR spectrum as the bond strength increases the wave number increases.

                STRENGTH OF BONDS TRIPLE>DOUBLE>SINGLE

                WAVE NUMBER SINGLE>DOUBLE>TRIPLE

  • wave number for single bond is greatest because it has greatest bond frequency among the three( more the frequency greater is the wave number).

AYE I NEED HELP!<br> Which two things balance and keep a main sequence star in equilibrium?
gladu [14]

Answer:

While self-gravity pulls the star inward and tries to make it collapse, thermal pressure (heat created by fusion) pushes outward. These two forces cancel each other out in a main sequence star, thus making it stable.

Where does wave reflection occur?
alisha [4.7K]
Wave reflection occurs when waves reflect or rebound off of a surface. This is like an echo because the sound waves are reflected from a distant surface
