Answer:

Explanation:

submerged volume of pump = 40 x 12⁻³ ft³

density of oil = .9 x 62.4 lb ft⁻³ ( specific gravity x density of water )

mass of displaced oil = 40 x 12⁻³ x  .9 x 62.4 lb

= 1.3 lb

buoyant force = 1.3 lb

weight of pump = 14.6 lb

extra force needed for balancing pump by spring

= 14.6 - 1.3

= 13.3 lb .

The discharge of a stream is Choose one: likely to decrease downstream in arid regions and increase downstream in temperate regi
Sauron [17]

Answer:

<em>likely to decrease downstream in arid regions and increase downstream in temperate regions</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Arid regions are is a region with a severe lack of water, usually to the extent that affect the organisms living in the region. Arid regions are characterized by a very low depth of rainfall per year. Temperate region on the other hand experience more distinct seasonal change and wider temperature change. Temperate regions get a fairly large amount of rainfall per year.

In arid regions, the soil is very dry, and the rate of infiltration and percolation is high relative to the amount of rainfall available. The effect is that more water is infiltrated into the soil as you move downstream, leading to a decrease in the discharge of a stream as you move downstream. Most temperate region have soils that are usually saturated in the peak of the rainfall season, leading to a greater stream discharge as you move downstream.

A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "44.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of
vitfil [10]

Answer:

a) 4.485 kg b) 3.94 kg

Explanation:

since the maximum tension the line can stand is 44 N and for question a the speed is constant (acceleration must be zero since the velocity or speed is not changing), F(tension) = mass * acceleration due to gravity (g) .

44 = m * 9.81m/s^2

m = 44/9.81 = 4.485kg

b) F(tension) = ma + mg ( where a is the acceleration of the body and g is the acceleration of the gravity)

44 = m (a +g)

44 = m (1.37 + 9.81)

44/11.18 = m

m = 3.94 kg

What is the half life-life of your 100 atoms of Carbon-14?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Answer: It takes 5,730 years for half the carbon-14 to change to nitrogen; this is the half-life of carbon-14. After another 5,730 years only one-quarter of the original carbon-14 will remain
