Answer:

A) V = 4.92 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{3} = 492 cm^{3}

B) d = 4181.49 kg/m^{3} = 4.18 g/cm^{3}

Explanation:

A) Using the Archimedes' force we can find the weight of water displaced:

W_{d} = W_{a} - W_{w}

Where:

W_{a}: is the weight of the block in the air = 20.1 N

W_{w}: is the weight of the block in the water = 15.3 N

W_{d} = W_{a} - W_{w} = 20.1 N - 15.3 N = 4.8 N

Now, the mass of the water displaced is:

m = \frac{W_{d}}{g} = \frac{4.8 N}{9.81 m/s^{2}} = 0.49 kg

The volume of the block can be found using the mass of water displaced and the density of the water:

V = \frac{m}{d} = \frac{0.49 kg}{997 kg/m^{3}} = 4.92 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{3} = 492 cm^{3}

B) The density of the block can be found as follows:

d = \frac{W_{a}}{g*V} = \frac{20.1 N}{9.81 m/s^{2}*4.92 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{3}} = 4181.49 kg/m^{3} = 4.18 g/cm^{3}

I hope it helps you!

Pick any free letter for each trait. For example, "A" for the dominant allele and "a" for the recessive allele for the number of arms. Assuming complete dominance, the genotype for the dominant trait will always have at least one "capital" allele, so a creature with 2 arms would have genotype either AA (homzygous dominant) or Aa (heterozygous), while a creature with the recessive trait of having 4 arms will always be homzygous recessive with genotype aa.

02: Describes what happens to the strength of gravity if the mass between two objects
Dmitriy789 [7]

Explanation:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. ... increases, the force of gravity decreases. If the distance is doubled, the force of gravity is one-fourth as strong as before.

By newton third law of motion, we know that if a rocket ship pushes down on the ground, the ground will push back up on the rock
Furkat [3]

We don't know that at all. The 3rd law says that the REaction is opposite and EQUAL to the action.  We don't know where that "twice as much" comes from.
