Answer:

Explanation:

A is not correct as there is much more water then penny meaning the water has more mass. The same can be said about C as the water also has more volume. Answer D is incorrect as the temperature of the penny is irrelevant to its ability to sink. That leaves us with option B, which is true as the penny is composed of metal allowing it to sink in the water due to having more density.

Answer:

its B because we're not talking about mass even tho most people would have chosen A cuz it says mass and u they would think its apart of density but if ur testing to see density ur figuring out which object will sink and which one will float so da reason why da penny snuck it cuz da density is greater den da water and copper has a better chance of sinking den floating so dats why its B I hope dis helps :3

What can you say about the magnitudes of the forces that the balloons exert on each other?

maxonik [38]

Answer:

$F_G=G. \frac{m_1.m_2}{R^2}$ gravitational force

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \times \frac{q_1.q_2}{R^2}$ electrostatic force

Explanation:

The forces that balloons may exert on each other can be gravitational pull due to the mass of the balloon membrane and the mass of the gas contained in each. This force is inversely proportional to the square of the radial distance between their center of masses.

The Mutual force of gravitational pull that they exert on each other can be given as:

$F_G=G. \frac{m_1.m_2}{R^2}$

where:

$G=$ gravitational constant $=6.67\times 10^{-11} m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2}$

$m_1\ \&\ m_2$ are the masses of individual balloons

$R=$ the radial distance between the center of masses of the balloons.

But when there are charges on the balloons, the electrostatic force comes into act which is governed by Coulomb's law.

Given as:

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \times \frac{q_1.q_2}{R^2}$

where:

$\rm \epsilon_0= permittivity\ of\ free\ space$

$q_1\ \&\ q_2$ are the charges on the individual balloons

R = radial distance between the charges.

Is there an eclipse happening soon in England

lyudmila [28]

A solar eclipse will be visible over a wide area of the north polar region
on Friday, March 20.

England is not in the path of totality, but it's close enough so that a large
part of the sun will be covered, and it will be a spectacular sight.

For Londoners, the eclipse begins Friday morning at 8:25 AM,when the
moon just begins to eat away at the sun's edge. It advances slowly, as more
and more of the sun disappears, and reaches maximum at 9:31 AM. Then
the obscured part of the sun begins to shrink, and the complete disk is
restored by the end of the eclipse at 10:41AM, after a period of 2 hours
16 minutes during which part of the sun appears to be missing.

The catch in observing the eclipse is:

YOU MUST NOT LOOK AT THE SUN.

Staring at the sun for a period of time can cause permanent damage to
your vision, even though you don't feel it while it's happening.

This is not a useful place to try and give you complete instructions or
suggestions for observing the sun over a period of hours. Please look
in your local newspaper, or search online for phrases like "safe eclipse
viewing".

Find the equivalent resistance, current, and voltage across each resistor when the specified resistors are connected across a 20

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

"Find the equivalent resistance, the current supplied by the battery and the current through each resistor when the specified resistors are connected across a 20-V battery. Part (a) uses two resistors with resistance values that can be set with the animation sliders, and you can use the animation to verify your calculation. In part (b), three resistors are specified. (a) Two resistors are connected in series across a 20-V battery. Let R1 = 1 Ω and R2 = 2 Ω. Rea = (b) Add a third resistor to the circuit in series. Let R1 = 1 Ω, R2 = 2 Ω, and R3 = 3 Ω"

Using ohms law formula to solve the problem

E = IRt

E is the supply voltage

I is the total current

Rt is the total equivalent resistant.

a) Given two resistances

R1 = 1ohms and R2 = 2ohms

If the resistors are Connected in series across a 20V supply voltage,

-Equivalent resistance = R1+R2

= 1ohms + 2ohms

= 3ohms

- In a series connected circuit, same current flows through the resistors.

Using the formula E = IRt

I = E/Rt

I = 20/3

I = 6.67A

The current in both resistors is 6.67A

- Different voltage flows across a series connected circuit.

Using the formula V = IR

V is the voltage across each resistor

I is the current in each resistor

For 1ohms resistor,

V = 6.67×1

V = 6.67Volts

For 2ohms resistor

V = 6.67×2

V = 13.34Volts

b) If the resistors are three

R1 = 1ohms, R2 = 2ohms R3 = 3ohms

- Total equivalent resistance = 1+2+3

= 6ohms

- Current in each resistor I = E/Rt

I = 20/6

I = 3.33A

Since the same current flows through the resistors, the current across each of them is 3.33A

- Voltage across them is calculated as shown:

V = IR

For 1ohm resistor

V = 3.33×1

V = 3.33volts

For 2ohms resistor

V = 3.33×2

V = 6.66volts

For 3ohms resistor

V = 3.33×3

V = 9.99volts
