Some lakes, such as the Great Salt Lake, accumulate soluble minerals such as salt. In those lakes, people find it much easier to

float than when they are in fresh water. Why is this the case?

<span>The water with a lot of dissolved minerals and salts is much denser than fresh water. And with a higher density, that means that less water needs to be displaced in order to float. This difference in density can be the difference between barely floating on your back with your nose barely out of the water versus floating comfortably on your back with your entire face out of the water. For instance, fresh water at 25C has a density of 997 kg/m^3, whereas the water in the Great Salt Lake, depending upon the salinity ranges from 1035 kg/m^3 to 1200 kg/m^3. Or in simpler terms it can be about 4% to 20% denser than fresh water and you'll float 4% to 20% higher in the salt water.</span>

A horizontal force of 750 N is needed to overcome the force of static friction between a level floor and a 250-kg crate. If g-9.
seraphim [82]

Answer:

0.31

Explanation:

horizontal force, F = 750 N

mass of crate, m = 250 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

The friction force becomes applied force = 750 N

According to the laws of friction,

Friction force = μ x Normal reaction of the surface

here, μ be the coefficient of friction

750 = μ x m g

750 = μ x 250 x 9.8

μ = 0.31

Thus, the coefficient of static friction is 0.31.

A mass hanged on a spring scale. what is the force exerted by gravity on 700g ?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

6.86 N

Explanation:

Applying,

F = mg............... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted by gravity on the mass, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity

Note: The Force exerted by gravity on the mass is thesame as the weight of the body.

From the question,

Given: m = 700 g = (700/1000) = 0.7 kg

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = 9.8(0.7)

F = 6.86 N

Calculate the density of a solid cube that
tia_tia [17]
Ok so if each side is 4.53 cm, we can multiply 4.53 x 4.53 x 4.53 to get the volume (since v= l x w x h). Density equals mass/volume, so

519 g/4.53 cm 
114.57 g/cm^3 (since none of the units cancel)
