d=\frac{m}{V}\\
\\
0.08 = \frac{m}{7,840}\rightarrow m=0.08 * 7,840=627.2 \ kg

\vec{F_g}=m.\vec{g}=627.2 *9.8=6,146.56 \ N

Density = 7840 kg per m³
Volume = 0.08 m³
Mass = 0.08 of 7840 kg = 627.2 kg

Now I'm going to give you the correct answer to your question, and then,
after that, I'm also going to give you the answer you expect.

The correct answer is:  (Ryan2 the Expert in Answer #1 is correct) . . . . .

The force of gravity on a mass doesn't depend on what it's sunk in, surrounded by,
hanging from, or resting on.  As long as it's on or near the Earth's surface, the force
of gravity acting on it is the same, no matter what else is around.

Force of gravity (weight) = (mass) x (gravity) = 627.2 kg x 9.8 m/s² = 6146.56 newtons
=============================================

The apparent weight is less, because when it's immersed in a fluid, there's
a buoyant force acting on it, which cancels part of the force of gravity.

The buoyant force = weight of the displaced water.

Assume the density of water is 1 kg per liter = 1,000 kg per m³.

Then the weight of 0.08 m³ of water is (80 kg x 9.8 m/s²) = 784 newtons.

This is the upward buoyant force on the steel when it's in water,
and it makes the steel seem 784 newtons lighter in water.  So the
apparent weight of the steel in water is

6146.56 minus 784 = 5362.56 newtons.

That's why you can pick up your big brother in the swimming pool.
The force of gravity on him doesn't change, but the buoyant force
in the water balances part of the force of gravity, and makes him
seem to weigh less.

If he could blow himself up like a balloon, and displace enough water
to weigh just as much as he really does, then the buoyant force would
cancel his weight completely, and he would totally float !

That's how steel ships float in water.  They're shaped in a shape that can
displace a lot of water.  The whole secret is in the shape.

During a __________ year period starting at about 4.5 billion years ago, bits and pieces of metal-rich particles, rocks, and ice
Greeley [361]

During a 30-10 million year period starting at about 4.5 billion years ago, bits and pieces of metal-rich particles, rocks, and ices accumulated to form the earth.

<h3>What is the Earth?</h3>

This is referred to as a type of planet which is habitable for different types of life forms. It is also the third planet from the sun and a majority of it contains water such as oceans etc.

Earth was formed billions of years ago through the bits and pieces of metal-rich particles, rocks, and ices which was in a 30-10 million year period which therefore makes it the correct choice.

Discuss what in particular makes the light bulb a non-ohmic resistor. Specifically, how does temperature affect resistance? Can
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

the loss of energy due to the Joule effect is the cause of the non-ohmic characteristic of the bulb

Explanation:

A resistance is formed of some type of metal, in a light bulb it is Tungsten, which for low current is a resistance that complies with the ohm law.

When the value of the current is increased the shock of the electors creates a Joule effect, which heats the metal, these shocks are due to atomic imperfections of the structure, this heating creates a loss of energy of the system that causes the characteristic to be lost linear between the voltage and the current, since the total energy balance must be preserved.

An approximate measure of the energy that is emitted is given by Stefan's law.

In short, the loss of energy due to the Joule effect is the cause of the non-ohmic characteristic of the bulb

2) If the initial velocity of an object is equal to a final velocity, what is the acceleration of the object?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The acceleration is 0.

Explanation:

The formula for acceleration is:

a = (v-u)/t

If v and u are equal, thus it would be 0 when subtracted, and anything divided by 0 is 0.
