A piece of wood that floats on water has a mass of 0.0175 kg. A lead weight is tied to the wood, and the apparent mass with the

wood in air and the lead weight submerged in water is 0.0765 kg. The apparent mass with the wood and the lead weight both submerged in water is 0.0452 kg. What is the specific gravity of the wood

Answer:

Specific gravity is 0.56

Explanation:

We know that

mass of water displaced by the wood is, m1( apparent mass when wood in air and lead is submerged in water) - m2(the apparent mass when wood and lead both are submerged in water)

= 0.0765 - 0.0452 = 0.0313 Kg

So the specific gravity of the wood is, = mass of wood / mass of water displaced by the wood

= 0.0175/0.0313

=0.56

3. the definition of the FREQUENCY of a sound is​
sergiy2304 [10]
Definition: Frequency is the measurement of the number of times that a repeated event occurs per unit of time. Sound moves through a medium such as air or water as waves. It is measured in terms of frequency and amplitude. Frequency, sometimes referred to as pitch, is the number of times per second that a sound pressure wave repeats itself.

i throw a tennis ball straight down from the roof of a building 400 meters tall.id it leaves my hand at 10 m/s, how fast will it
Sidana [21]

consider the motion of the tennis ball in downward direction

Y = vertical displacement = 400 m

a = acceleration = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

v₀ = initial velocity of the ball at the top of building = 10 m/s

v = final velocity of the ball when it hits the ground = ?

using the kinematics equation

v² = v²₀ + 2 a Y

inserting the values

v² = 10² + 2 (9.8) (400)

v = 89.11 m/s

As a raindrop falls from a cloud to the surface of Earth,
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
The correct answer would be C. it moves at a constant speed. The troposphere(the layer our weather is in) is not nearly high enough for gravity to be different at different altitudes.
