Answer:
The fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀
Explanation:
Given;
specific gravity of the object, γ = 0.850
Specific gravity is given as;

Fraction of the object's weight below the surface of water is calculated as;

Therefore, the fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀
Answer:
Explained below
Explanation:
Newton's first law of motion: This law states that an object will remain at rest or continue in constant motion except it's acted upon by an external force. In projectile motion, the horizontal component of velocity will remain unchanged because we ignore air resistance since no force is acting in that horizontal direction.
Newton's second law of motion: This law states that force is the product of mass and acceleration. In projectile the force acts downwards, thus f = mg.
But g = a since internal forces will cancel out.
Thus, F = ma
Answer:
Mass and height
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 
Which is represented as;

stands for gravitational potantial energy,
m stands for mass of object,
g is the gravitational constant and
h is the height.
Here we see that mass of object and height is directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy.
That means increasing in mass and height will result in increasing gravitational potential energy.
Friction produces heat hope this helps
I think these two variables are sufficient to completely specify the state.
In an isolated room with air only ,the volume is fixed.Mass ,density and its specific volume can be easily known.
Other thermodynamic properties like entropy, enthalpy etc are also fixed at a given temperature & pressure.
