In accordance with the definition of density as r = m/V, in order to determine the density of
matter, the mass and the volume of the sample must be known.
The determination of mass can be performed directly using a weighing instrument.
The determination of volume generally cannot be performed directly. Exceptions to this rule
include
· cases where the accuracy is not required to be very high, and
· measurements performed on geometric bodies, such as cubes, cuboids or cylinders, the volume
of which can easily be determined from dimensions such as length, height and diameter.
· The volume of a liquid can be measured in a graduated cylinder or in a pipette; the volume of
solids can be determined by immersing the sample in a cylinder filled with water and then
measuring the rise in the water level.
Because of the difficulty of determining volume with precision, especially when the sample has a
highly irregular shape, a "detour" is often taken when determining the density, by making use of the
Archimedean Principle, which describes the relation between forces (or masses), volumes and
densities of solid samples immersed in liquid:
From everyday experience, everyone is familiar with the effect that an object or body appears to
be lighter than in air – just like your own body in a swimming pool.

Answer:
<em>The flux through the sphere will remain the same, and the magnitude of the electric field will increase by four times.</em>
Explanation:
The electric flux is the number of electric field, passing through a given area. It is proportional to the electric field strength and the area through which this field passes.
If the radius of the sphere is halved, the area of the sphere will reduce by square of the reduction, which will be four times. The electric field lines will become closer together, or technically increase by a fourth of its initial value. The resultant effect is that the electric flux will remain the same.
If originally,
Φ = EA cos∅
where Φ is the electric flux through the sphere
E is the electric field on the sphere
A is the area of the sphere.
If the area of the sphere is reduced to half, then,
the area reduces to A/4,
and the electric field increases to be 4E on the sphere.
The flux now becomes
Φ = 4E x A/4 cos∅
which reduces to
Φ = EA cos∅
which is the initial electric flux on the sphere.
<h2>
Answer: Nazca plate</h2>
Explanation:
The Nazca plate is an oceanic tectonic plate that is found in the Pacific Ocean off the west coast of South America, specifically in front of the north and central coast of Chile and the entire coastline of Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. This plate is in constant motion, which causes it to sink under the South American (phenomenon known as subduction).
It is mainly because of this subduction process that this region has a lot of seismic activity. Another important aspect is that thanks to these movements, the Andes mountain range and the Peruvian-Chilean fossa originated.
