You can predict it by measuring the weight of the spherical object and measuring the liquid (mL) and subtracting finding the volume

To predict the sinking/floating behavior of a spherical object, you could determine its density.

<em>Step 1</em>. Determine its <em>mass</em> on a suitable balance.

<em>Step 2</em>. Determine its <em>volume</em>

<em>Either </em>

Measure its circumference. <em>C</em> = 2π<em>r</em>, so you can calculate r

<em>or </em>

Measure its diameter. <em>d</em> = 2<em>r</em>, so you can calculate <em>r </em>

<em>Then </em>

<em>V</em> = ⁴/₃π<em>r</em>³ , so you can calculate its volume.

<em>Step 3</em>. Calculate its <em>density </em>(<em>D</em>).

Density = mass/volume

If D < 1 g/cm³, the object will float in water. If D > 1 g/cm³, the object will sink.

Represente lo que ocurre mediante flechas cuando dos cargas negativas, dos cargas positivas y una carga positiva y otra negativa
pochemuha

Answer:

Neutral.

Explicación:

Cuando dos cargas negativas, dos cargas positivas y una carga positiva y una carga negativa se unen, los átomos se vuelven neutrales porque las cargas opuestas cancelan el efecto de la otra. Si hay igual número de cargas y además son opuestas entre sí, entonces todas estas cargas cancelan el efecto de la otra formando el átomo neutral, pero si hay diferencia en el número de cargas, entonces la carga que es alta en número aparece en el átomos.

How many electrons would Boron with a +2 charge have?
irina [24]

5 electrons

Boron atomic number 5 has five electrons in its ground state.

Commonly Boron will lose 3 electrons leaving 2 electrons in its most common ionic form.

Explanation:

The atomic number gives the number of protons. Protons which have a positive charge are balanced by an equal number of electrons in a neutral atom.

Boron number 5 has five protons and therefore as a neutral atom also has five electrons.

Boron has an electron configuration of

1s22s22p1

The most stable electron configuration for Boron is

1s2

+ 3 charges. By losing three electrons Boron can achieve the stable electron structure of Helium

Is Newton's statement a law or a theory? It is a theory because it developed and changed over time as new technology provided ne
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

It is a law because it is a statement of fact that does not need any more experimental support.

Explanation:

A hypothesis is an acceptable assumption that is formulated through the collection of information and data and that attempts to explain some phenomenon. In other words, a hypothesis is a conjecture with which one tries to explain an observed fact. The formulation of a hypothesis can be derived in two different ways: by generalization, from a certain number of cases or observed phenomena; and, by analogies observed in the occurrence of different phenomena.

A theory is something that attempts to explain some phenomenon and that is accepted as true by the scientific community. In other words, a theory is a set of rules that describe the behavior of a particular system.

A law is a statement that expresses the constant relationships between phenomena of nature, society or the mind. Scientific law can be defined as an invariable relationship of terms. In other words, a law is what is scientifically proven to be true, it is universally applicable.

So scientific theories and scientific laws are based on hypotheses. But a theory is the explanation of an observed phenomenon, while a scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon.

The movements of bodies in space are governed by Newton's Laws. These are laws why they are demonstrated by mathematical formulas and Universal application.

Then, the correct option is <u><em>"It is a law because it is a statement of fact that does not need any more experimental support."</em></u>
