For the answer to the questions above, I'll give the formulas so that you can answer the equation easily.

These are the equations you need to solve this: 

<span>Lift Load = Buoyancy Force = (Weight of air inside balloon if it were filled with outside dry air) - (Weight of actual gas inside balloon) </span>

<span>Weight of gas inside balloon = (density of gas) (acceleration of gravity at earth's surface) (balloon volume) </span>

<span>Density of gas = (absolute pressure)(Molecular Weight of Gas) / [(Specific Gas Constant)(absolute temperature)] </span>

<span>Balloon Volume = (4/3) π (balloon radius)^3 
</span>
All you have to do is substitute them with the values.

Water ice has a density of 0.91 g/cm2, so it will float in liquid water. Imagine you have a cube of ice, 10 cm on a side. a. Wha
Reptile [31]

Answer:

(i) W = 8.918 N

(ii) V = 9.1 \times 10^{-4} m^3

(iii) d = 9.1 cm

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that weight of cube is given as

W = mg

W = \rho V g

here we know that

\rho = 0.91 g/cm^3

Volume = L^3

Volume = 10^3 = 1000 cm^3

now the mass of the ice cube is given as

m = 0.91 \times 1000 = 910 g

now weight is given as

W = 0.910 \times 9.8 = 8.918 N

Part b)

Weight of the liquid displaced must be equal to weight of the ice cube

Because as we know that force of buoyancy = weight of the of the liquid displaced

W_{displaced} = 8.918 N

So here volume displaced is given as

\rho_{water}Vg = 8.918

1000(V)9.8 = 8.918

V = 9.1 \times 10^{-4} m^3

Part c)

Let the cube is submerged by distance "d" inside water

So here displaced water weight is given as

W = \rho_{water} (L^2 d) g

8.918 = 1000(0.10^2 \times d) 9.8

d = 0.091 m

so it is submerged by d = 9.1 cm inside water

Doubling the frequency of a wave source doubles the speed of the wave assuing that wavelength remains the same? True or false? W
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:true,because velocity is directly proportional to speed or velocity

Explanation:

Velocity = frequency x wavelength

The velocity or speed varies directly with the frequency, so as the frequency is increased, the velocity or speed is also increased

How does Mercury's close proximity to the sun and thin atmosphere affect its ability to maintain liquid water
alekssr [168]

Answer

A thin atmosphere does not supply much oxygen, and the heat from the sun would evaporate it, because mercury is close to the sun.
