To solve this problem we will apply the principle of buoyancy of Archimedes and the relationship given between density, mass and volume.

By balancing forces, the force of the weight must be counteracted by the buoyancy force, therefore

\sum F = 0

F_b -W = 0

F_b = W

F_b = mg

Here,

m = mass

g =Gravitational energy

The buoyancy force corresponds to that exerted by water, while the mass given there is that of the object, therefore

\rho_w V_{displaced} g = mg

Remember the expression for which you can determine the relationship between mass, volume and density, in which

\rho = \frac{m}{V} \rightarrow m = V\rho

In this case the density would be that of the object, replacing

\rho_w V_{displaced} g = V\rho g

Since the displaced volume of water is 0.429 we will have to

\rho_w (0.429V) = V \rho

0.429\rho_w= \rho

The density of water under normal conditions is 1000kg / m ^ 3, so

0.429(1000) = \rho

\rho = 429kg/m^3

The density of the object is 429kg / m ^ 3

What did johannes kepler contribute to the study of planets
Nana76 [90]
Johannes Kepler was a main stargazer of the Scientific Revolution known for detailing the Laws of Planetary Motion. A stargazer, obviously, is a man who contemplates the sun, stars, planets and different parts of room. Kepler was German and lived in the vicinity of 1571 and 1630. 
Despite the fact that Kepler is best known for characterizing laws in regards to planetary movement, he made a few other striking commitments to science. He was the first to discover that refraction drives vision in the eye and that utilizing two eyes empowers profundity recognition.

1. A stationary 50 tonne submarine fires a missile of mass 40kg at
White raven [17]

The velocity of the submarine immediately after firing the missile is 0.0104 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of the submarine M=50 tonne=50\times 1000=50000kg

Mass of the missile m=40  kg

velocity of the missile v= 13m/s

we have to calculate the velocity of the submarine after firing

This is the recoil velocity and its expression is derived from the law of conservation of momentum

recoil velocity of the submarine

V=-mv/M\\=-40\times 13/50000\\=0.0104 m/s

If Justin races his Chevy S-10 down highway 37 north for 2,560 meters in 60 seconds, what is
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

A.) 42.7 m/s

B.) 0.33 m/s^2

C.) 90 kg

Explanation:

A.) If Justin races his Chevy S-10 down highway 37 north for 2,560 meters in 60 seconds, what is his velocity? 

Velocity = displacement/time

Velocity = 2560/60

Velocity = 42.67 m/s

B.) The Chevy S-10 started rounding at 10 meters per hour. What is the acceleration at 30 seconds on the highway?

Acceleration = velocity/time

Acceleration = 10/30

Acceleration = 0.33 m/s^2

C.) The S-10 has a force of 30 N. What is the mass of the car?

Force = mass × acceleration

30 = mass × 0.33

Mass = 30/ 0.33

Mass = 90 kg
