Answer:

the maximum mass that can hang without sinking is 2.93 kg

Explanation:

Given: details:

sphere diameter  d = 20 cm

so, radius r = 10 cm  = 0.10 m

density of the Styrofoam sphere D = 300 kg/m3

sphere volume  V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

                                                   =\frac{4}{3} \pi 0.10^3

                                                   =4.18*10^{-3} m^3

we know that

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

mass  M = Density * Volume

                                  = (300)(4.18*10^{-3} m3)

                                  =1.25 kg

mass of the water displace = volume *density  of water

                                                 = 4.18*10^{-3} m3 * 1000

                                                 = 4.18 kg

The difference between the mass of water and mass of styrofoam is the amount of mass that the sphere can support

=4.18 kg  -1.25 kg

= 2.93 kg

1. How are each of Newton’s Laws of motion demonstrated
stepan [7]

Answer:

Newton's law of inertia - His first law states that every object remains at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. ... This is the first part cited in Newton's first law; "there is no net force on the airplane and it travels at a constant velocity in a straight line."

Newton's law of acceleration -  "a net external force changes the velocity of the object. The drag of the aircraft depends on the square of the velocity. So the drag increases with increased velocity."

Newton's law of Action/Reaction - "As a plane flies, the force of the air hitting the plane is always equal and opposite to the force of the plane pushing against the air. The force generated by the engine pushes against air while the air pushes back with an equal and opposite force."

Hope this helps! god bless :)

This circuit has five bulbs (A, B, C, D, and E). Select which bulbs would turn off if bulb C was unscrewed.
LiRa [457]

Answer:

C, A and E

Explanation:

In theory you always assume that the prostive is going to the negtive and since C, A and E are in series they all will turn off will turn off

Only the sun and other stars in space generate these kinds of waves:
Reika [66]

Answer:

<h2>Ultraviolet Waves.</h2>

Explanation:

The Sun emits waves called "Solar Waves", which have a wavelengths between 160 and 400 nanometers. According to the electromagnetic spectrum, these waves are defined as Ultraviolet, which have a frequency around the order of 10^{16}, which is really intense and high energy.

Therefore, the answer is Ultraviolet Waves.

Answer:

Air moves from regions of high pressure to regions of low pressure.

Explanation:

When airs moves horizontally from regions of high pressure to low pressure, it creates wind. If the difference between high and low pressure is greater, then it makes the wind faster.

Best of Luck!
