To hide their loot, thieves put the 1.20 kg gold that they had robbed into a small box and threw it in a lake. The mass of the e

mpty box was 400 grams, and the dimension 12cm3 . When the box is closed with the gold inside it, it is well seated so that water dont enter it. To their surprise, the box floated on the water. Calculate the distance from the bottom of the box to the water level (i.e. how many cm is it inside the water?)
Density: water = 1 g/cm3 = 100 kg/m3 ----------- Gold = 19.3 g/cm3 19,300 kg/m3

Answer:

11.1 cm

Explanation:

Let d be the depth upto which box dipped into water.

Volume of water displaced

.12\times .12\times d m^3\\

=.0144d

Weight of water displaced = upthrust

=.0144d\times 10^3\times g\\    [ density of water is 1000kg /m³]

=14.4dg This will act upwards.

Total downward force = 1.2 +.4 = 1.6 g

For equilibrium

1.6g = 14.4 gd

d = .111 m

=11.1 cm.

two masses are separated by 1 m. suppose the masses are moved so they are 2 m apart how will the gravitational force change
Verdich [7]
The gravitational force would get stronger because the farther the two masses are separated the more gravitational force will be used to pull them together the closer they are the less gravitational pull is used to pull them together

Which statements provides evidence that the earth revolves around the sun
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Different star constellations are visible from Earth at different seasons of the year.

Explanation:

The reason the fact that we can see different constellations in the sky during different seasons on earth is the most compelling reason we travel around the sun is because if the sun travelled around the earth, certain constellations would only be visible in certain places. You’d have to travel to see certain ones.

However, you don’t have to do that because we travel around the sun, therefore travelling around other stars too.

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Very sorry if this is late

Explanation:

Currently, in Olympia, Washington, it is raining because a cold front with high pressure has met an area with low pressure. This occurs due to the fact that storms are caused by sudden differences in air pressure.

A force acting over a large area will exert less pressure per square inch than the same force acting over a smaller area.
babunello [35]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as:

p=\frac{F}{A}

where

F is the magnitude of the force perpendicular to the surface

A is the surface

Therefore, pressure is inversely proportional to the area of the surface:

p\propto \frac{1}{A}

this means that, assuming that the forces in the two situations (which have same magnitude) are both applied perpendicular to the surface, the force exerted over the smaller area will exert a greater pressure. Hence, the statement"

<em>"A force acting over a large area will exert less pressure per square inch than the same force acting over a smaller area"</em>

is true.
