Answer:

weight

Explanation:

the buoyant force acting on the body of equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body.

When a body is immersed (partly or wholly) in a liquid, it experience an upward force. This is called buoyant force or upthrust force.

the buoyant force acting on the body is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body.

The buoyant force is equal to the product of volume of immersed part of the body, density of liquid and the acceleration due to gravity.

Which of the following describes the electron sharing between hydrogen and fluorine A.Hydrogen and fluorine share one electron w

atroni [7]

Hydrogen has one electron in its outermost shell, while fluorine has seven electron in its outermost shell, hence both hydrogen and fluorine needs a single electron to complete its outermost shell.
That's why there is a single bond between hydrogen and fluorine.
Hence both hydrogen and fluorine share one electron with each other, so option "A" is correct.

A cubical block of iron 10 cm on each side is floating on mercury in a vessel. (i) What is the height of the block above the mer

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

i 5.3 cm ii. 72 cm

Explanation:

We know upthrust on iron = weight of mercury displaced

To balance, the weight of iron = weight of mercury displaced . So

ρ₁V₁g = ρ₂V₂g

ρ₁V₁ = ρ₂V₂ where ρ₁ = density of iron = 7.2 g/cm³ and V₁ = volume of iron = 10³ cm³ and ρ₂ = density of mercury = 13.6 g/cm³ and V₂ = volume of mercury displaced = ?

V₂ = ρ₁V₁/ρ₂ = 7.2 g/cm³ × 10³ cm³/13.6 g/cm³ = 529.4 cm³

So, the height of iron above the mercury is h = V₂/area of base iron block

= 529.4 cm³/10² cm² = 5.294 cm ≅ 5.3 cm

ρ₁V₁g = ρ₂V₂g

ρ₁V₁ = ρ₃V₃ where ρ₁ = density of iron = 7.2 g/cm³ and V₁ = volume of iron = 10³ cm³ and ρ₃ = density of water = 1 g/cm³ and V₃ = volume of water displaced = ?

V₃ = ρ₁V₁/ρ₃ = 7.2 g/cm³ × 10³ cm³/1 g/cm³ = 7200 cm³

So, the height of column of water is h = V₃/area of base iron block

= 7200 cm³/10² cm² = 72 cm

If a 20 g cannonball is shot from a 5 kg cannon with a velocity of 100

balu736 [363]

Strange as it may seem, the statement in the question appears to be TRUE.

-- Before the shot, neither the cannon nor the ball is moving, so their combined momentum is zero.

-- Since momentum is conserved, we know immediately that their combined momentum AFTER the shot also has to be zero.

-- (20g is rather puny for a "cannonball" ... about the same weight as four nickels. But we'll take your word for it and just do the Math and the Physics.)

-- Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

After the shot, the momentum of the cannonball is

(0.02 kg) x (100 m/s ==> that way)

Momentum of the ball = 2 kg-m/s ==> that way.

-- In order for both of them to add up to zero, the momentum of the cannon must be (2 kg-m/s this way <==) .

Momentum of cannon = (5 kg) x (V m/s this way <==)

2 kg-m/s this way <== = (5 kg) x (V m/s this way <==)

Divide each side by (5 kg):

V m/s = (2/5) m/s this way <==

Speed of recoil of the cannon = -- 0.4 m/s

Which of the following statements accurately describes the properties of gases?

Ray Of Light [21]

A change in the pressure of a gas results in a more significant change in volume than it would in a liquid. is the statement that accurately describes the property of gas. Gas only depends on how you store it. the bigger the space the wider gas can expand, the smaller the space, the more compress the gas can become.
