Bird bones have air pockets in them to reduce their weight. This also gives them an average density significantly less than that

of the bones of other animals. Suppose an ornithologist weighs a bird bone in air and in water and finds its mass is 47 g and its apparent mass when submerged is 3.4 g (the bone is watertight).a. What mass of water is displaced?
b. What is the volume of the bone?
c.What is its average density?

Answer:

a) 43.6g b)0.0000436m^3( 43.6cm^3) c)1078kg/m^3

Explanation:

Mass of the bone in air = 47g = 47/1000= 0.047kg

Apparent mass of the bone in water = 3.4g

Mass of water displaced = 47g - 3.4g, from upthrust which is the upward force acting upward on the body.

Mass of water displaced = 43.6g

Volume of the bone = volume of the water displaced

Density of water (1000kg/m^3) = mass of water displaced/ volume of water

Volume of water displaced = mass of water displaced/ density = 0.0436 in kg/1000 = 0.0000436m^3 ( 43.6cm^3)

Average density of the bone = total mass/ total volume = 0.047kg/ 0.0000436m^3 = 1078kg/m^3

Which statements below are true?
Ilya [14]

The correct statements are that the speed decreases as the distance decreases and speed increases as the distance increases for the same time.

Answer:

Option A and Option B.

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. So Speed = Distance/Time. In other words, we can also state that speed is directly proportional to the distance for a constant time. Thus, the speed will be decreasing as there is decrease in distance for the same time. As well as there will be increase in speed as the distance increases for the same time. So option A and option B are the true options. So if there is decrease in the distance due to direct proportionality the speed will also be decreasing. Similarly, if the distance increases, the speed will also be increasing.

A child weighing 200 N is being held back in a swing by a horizontal force of 125 N, as shown in the image. What is the tension
mixer [17]

Answer:

75

Explanation:

i am not sure but if 200N boy is being held back then the force that's holding him back must be equal to or greater than his weight. if 125N is already exerted then the tension will be:

T=200-125

= 75
