Answer:

A. Aluminium

Explanation:

Buoyant force is  simple terms refers to the weight of water displaced when an object is immersed in it. The higher the volume of an object, the higher the buoyant force.

From the problem, we have two metals of equal mass, aluminium and lead, of which lead is denser.

density =\frac{mass}{volume}

Volume =\frac{mass}{density}

This means that the volume of each metal depends on the density, and for the fact that lead is denser , it will have a lower volume than aluminium which means Aluminium will have a greater buoyant force.

How are a star's luminosity, mass, and radius related?
9966 [12]

Answer:

The Luminosity of a star depends on BOTH its temperature and its radius (surface area): L is proportional to R2 T4. A hotter star is more luminous than a cooler one of the same radius. A bigger star is more luminous than a smaller one of the same temperature.

An object of mass 3 kg is accelerated at 4 m/s2. What force is acting on the object?
maw [93]

Answer:

12 N

Explanation:

Given,

Mass ( m ) = 3 kg

Acceleration ( a ) = 4 m/s^2

To find : Force ( F ) = ?

Formula : -

F = ma

F

= 3 x 4

= 12 N

Therefore, the force acting on the object is 12 N.
