Answer:

specific gravity = 0.8

specific gravity of  solution  = 2

Explanation:

given data

rectangular block above water  = 0.400 in

rectangular block below water = 1.60 in

material floats below water = 0.800 in

solution

first we get here specific gravity of block  that is

specific gravity = block vol below ÷ total block vol × specific gravity  water   ..............1

put here value we get

specific gravity =  \frac{1.60}{1.60+0.400}  × 1

specific gravity = 0.8

and now we get here specific gravity of  solution  that is express as

specific gravity of  solution  = total block vol ÷ block vol below × specific gravity  block   ........................2

put here value we get

specific gravity of  solution  = \frac{1.60+0.400}{0.800} × 0.8

specific gravity of  solution  = 2

A small boat is moving at a velocity of 3.35m/s when it is accelerated by a river current perpendicular to the initial direction
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

 v =7.1 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

u = 3.35 m/s

t= 5 s

a= 0.75 m/s²

The final velocity = v

We know v = u +at

v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

Now by putting the values in the above equation

v = 3.35 + 0.75 x 5 m/s

v =7.1 m/s

Therefore the final velocity will be 7.1 m/s

Why is it important to study electromagnetic waves?
labwork [276]
The study of EM is essential to understanding the properties of light, its propagation through tissue, scattering and absorption effects, and changes in the state of polarization. ... Since light travels much faster than sound, detection of the reflected EM radiation is performed with interferometry.
