Answer:

V=200cm^3\\\\\rho =0.500g/cm^3

It will float.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, given the width, length and height, we can compute the volume as follows:

V=W*L*H\\\\V=4cm*5cm*10cm\\\\V=200cm^3

Moreover, since the density is computed via the division of the mass by the volume:

\rho =\frac{m}{V}

We obtain:

\rho =\frac{100g}{200cm^3} \\\\\rho =0.500g/cm^3

In such a way, since the solid has a lower density than the water, we infer it will float.

Best regards.

What is latitude 20 degrees north and longitude 65 degrees west?
Marta_Voda [28]
<span>The latitude 20 degrees north and longitude 65 degrees west is in the Atlantic Ocean, north of Puerto. The north coast region of Puerto Rico named "Porta Atlantico" faces the dark blue Atlantic Ocean. On the off chance that you long for unwinding on a tranquil shoreline, losing all sense of direction in the magnificence of waves smashing, and being calmed by their song, you might need to remain on the north drift, lease an auto and investigate.</span>

A broom with a long handle balances at its centre of gravity as shown in the figure. If you cut the broom into two parts through
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

c) Both the parts will weigh the same

Explanation:

center of gravity is based on weight so if you cut down the center of gravity you would have 2 equal parts

(might be D if it is cutting against the center of gravity)

Winds are deflected to the (right/left) ___ as they move into a low pressure area in the Northern Hemisphere.
SashulF [63]

Winds are deflected to the right as they move into a low pressure area in the Northern Hemisphere.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Winds decide the motion of ocean currents which forms the surface waves in the Earth's atmosphere to maintain the pressure region. The motion of ocean currents is based on Coriolis force which states the direction of motion of an object in a rotating system.

In the case of Earth, the Coriolis force has an effect on the ocean currents which are deflected from maximum to minimum pressure region in a curved path. So the winds formed by the ocean currents will generally get deflected at the right as they move into a low pressure area at the Northern Hemisphere from the high pressure region.

shtirl [24]

Q: ken, 0.75 kg, moves toward a wall (his path normal to the wall) at 52 m/s. 13.0 ms after he touches the wall he pushes himself off in the opposite direction at 60 m/s. What is the magnitude of the average force the wall exerts on Ken during this rapid maneuver

Answer:

-6461.54 N

Explanation:

From Newton's Fundamental equation,

F = m(v-u)/t.................... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted in sonic, m = mass of ken, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Given: m = 0.75 kg, v = - 60 m/s (opposite direction), u = 52 m/s, t = 13 ms = 0.013 s

Substitute into equation 1

F = 0.75(-60-52)/0.013

F = 0.75(-112)/0.013

F = -84/0.013

F = -6461.54 N

Note: The negative sign tells that the force act in opposite direction to the initial motion of ken.

Hence the magnitude of the average force of the wall = -6461.54 N
