Answer:

D) 13.62 kg/L

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by a simple rule of three.

The problem states that Mercury has a dansy of 30 lbs/L, and asks what is the density in kg/L. We have to convert from lbs to kg.

Each lb has 0.454 kg? How many kg are there in 30 lbs?

So:

1 lb - 0.454kg

30 lb - x kg

x = 30(0.454)

x = 13.62

This means that mercury's density in kg/L is 13.62, letter D. Letter A is also 13.62, however it is not in the unit asked.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Balanced forces/Resultant force/ Newton's first law/law of inertia.

<h3>Explanation:</h3><h3>Balanced forces/Resultant force/ Newton's first law/law of inertia:</h3>

It says that each article will remain in its state of rest or similar motion in a straight line except a resultant force works on it. It is known as the law of inertia.

The inertia of the body is the hesitation of the target to alter its state of peace or movement.

The inertia of an article depends on its size. The greater the body, the greater the inertia. It shows it is difficult to start moving, stop, slow down, speed up or change direction. Force is required to overcome inertia.

There are two potential alternative locations for another canal across the isthmus. these are in _________ and __________?
Reika [66]

There are two potential alternative locations for another canal across the isthmus. These are in <u>Mexico</u> and <u>Nicaragua</u>?

An isthmus is a slim strip of land that connects two larger landmasses and separates two bodies of water. This form of the isthmus is called a tombolo and is shaped as waves and tides slowly building up a sand bar to create an everlasting hyperlink between a coastal island (known as a tied island) and the mainland.

Definitely, the 2 most famous isthmuses are the Isthmus of Panama, connecting North and South America, and the Isthmus of Suez, connecting Africa and Asia.

An isthmus is a slim piece of land connecting two large regions across an expanse of water by which they may be otherwise separated. A tombolo is an isthmus that consists of a spit or bar, and a strait is the ocean counterpart of an isthmus.
