Answer:

1. What does the variable represent?

<em>The variable 12+ represent that the ballon's vertical position is positive because it is still afloat and not sunk while -4.8 vertical position of the canoe is negative which depicts that the canoe is sunk.</em>

2. What value of makes the equation true? Explain your reasoning?

the value of the equation that makes it through are the + and - signs attached to the figures 12+ and -4.8 respectively, which obeyed the <em>Archimedes Principles and Law of Floating. </em>

Explanation:

<em>Archimedes Principle </em>

In simple terms,<em> Archimedes' principle </em>states that, when a body is partially or completely immersed in a fluid, it experiences an apparent loss in weight that is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the immersed part of the body(s).

<em>The two applications of Archimedes principle are:</em>

(i). It is used to design ships and submarines.

(ii). It is used to design hydrometer which is used to measure the density of different liquids.

<em>What is the Principle of ship floating?</em>

<em>Why the Ship Floats</em>

<em>Archimedes' Buoyancy Principle</em> states that buoyant force- what keeps the ship afloat is equal to the weight of water that is displaced when the ship enters the ocean. If the weight of displaced water is at least equal to the weight of the ship, the ship will float.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

ethnic cleansing

Explanation:

  • Colloquially, genocide can be referred to as a number of crimes that cannot be classified under the legal definition of genocide
  • . Thus, the mass Khmer Rouge massacres in Cambodia in the 1970s, which claimed more than a million lives, are often called genocide, but they cannot qualify as one ethnic Khmer persecuting and killing other ethnic Khmer based on their social or political affiliation.
  • On the other hand, the persecution of ethnic Vietnamese and Muslims by the Khmer Rouge could be considered genocide, because the Khmer Rouge specifically attempted to destroy these groups, precisely because of their ethnic and religious characteristics.
