When we put an object inside the water then the submerged part of the object will displace water.

this weight of displaced water is known as buoyancy force on the object

Now as we know the principle of flotation if buoyancy force due to fluid on the object is more than weight then object will easily float

So here we can say that

F_b > W

now here we know that buoyancy force is the weight of liquid which is displaced and that weight must be more than weight of object for flotation

So here we can say

So here we know that mass of object is 320 g

mass of liquid displaced 260 g

here

mass of liquid displaced < mass of object

So it will not float and it will sink

Define Momentum in detail.
Harrizon [31]

Explanation:

Momentum Is defined as the product of of mass and its velocity

Momentum (M) =mass *velocity

SI unit of momentum is kgm/s

The rate of change in momentum

=change in momentum / time

=(mv-mu)/t

A man walks 7 km, east in 2 hours and 2 km in 1 hour in the same direction. a) what is
Rzqust [24]

Explanation:

Average speed = distance / time

|v| = (7 km + 2 km) / (2 hr + 1 hr)

|v| = 3 km/hr

Average velocity = displacement / time

v = (7 km east + 2 km east) / (2 hr + 1 hr)

v = 3 km/hr east

To push a 26.0 kg crate up a frictionless incline, angled at 25.0° to the horizontal, a worker exerts a force of 209 N parallel
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

(a) W = +397.1 J

(b) W = -204.6 J

(c) W = 0

(d) W= + 192.5 J

Explanation:

Work (W) is defined as the product of force (F) by the distance (d)the body travels due to this force. :

W= F*d Formula ( 1)

The forces that perform work on an object must be parallel to its displacement.

The forces perpendicular to the displacement of an object do not perform work on it.

The work is positive (W+) if the force has the same direction of movement of the object.  

The work is negative (W-) if the force has the opposite direction of the movement of the object.

Problem development

(a) Work performed by the worker's applied force on the box .

W= 209 N * 1.9 m = +397.1 J

(b) Work performed by the gravitational force on the crate

We calculate the weight component parallel to the displacement of the box:

We define the x-axis in the direction of the inclined plane ,25.0° to the horizontal.

We define the y-axis and in the direction of the plane perpendicular to the inclined plane.

W= m*g=26*9.8= 254.8N : total box weight

Wx= W*sen25.0°= 254.8*sen25.0°= 107.68 N

W = -Wx *d =107.68 N *1.9 m= -204.6 J

(c) Work performed by normal force (N) exerted by the incline on the crate

The force N is perpendicular to the displacement, then:

W=0

(d) Total work done on the crate

W = 397.1 J -204.6 J

W = 192.5 J

What is the product of the cellular respiration process
zlopas [31]
When oxygen is present, cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP.

When oxygen is not present, cellular respiration produces lactic acid or alcohol.

Hope this helps! :)
