Answer:
C, weathering by the water.
Explanation:
While in the river, it scraps againsts other rocks and things, which causes it to change shape. For example be smoother and round.
Given:
F_gravity = 10 N
F_tension = 25 N
Let's find the net centripetal force exterted on the ball.
Apply the formula:

From the given figure, the force acting towards the circular path will be positive, while the force which points directly away from the center is negative.
Hence, the tensional force is positive while the gravitational force is negative.
Thus, we have:

Therefore, the net centripetal force exterted on the ball is 15 N.
ANSWER:
15 N
Mercury has a high boiling point of 357 degrees C.
Mercury has a freezing point of −39 degrees C.
Mass of gold m₁ = 47 g
Initial temperature of gold T₁ = 99 C
Specific heat of gold C₁ = 0.129 J/gC
final temperature T₂ = 38 C
Heat needed by the gold to cool down
Q =m₁ * C₁* ( T₁ - T₂)
Q = (47)(0.129)(99-38)
Q = 369.843 J
This heat will be given by the water
we need to find out mass of water m₂
and initial temperature of water is T₃ = 25 C
Specific heat of water C₂ = 4.184 J/gC
Q = m₂*C₂*(T₂ - T₃)
369.843 = m₂(4.184)(38-25)
m₂ = 6.8 g
