A material will float on the surface of a liquid if the material has a density less than that of the liquid. given that the dens

ity of water is approximately 1.0 g/ml, will a block of material having a volume of 1.3 104 in3 and weighing 350 lb float or sink when placed in a reservoir of water?

We will first convert lb to grams and in³ to milliliters. 
350 lb : 2.205 = 158.75733 kg = 158,757.33 grams
1.3 · 10^4 in³ = 13,000 in³ = 13,000 · 0.016387064 = 213.031 liters 
213.031 liters · 1,000 = 213,031 milliliters
Density = m / V = 158,753.33 g / 213,031 ml = 0.7452 g/ ml
Answer: A block of material will float.

Today we can make observations that would lead us to the same conclusion as newton. If you throw a baseball in the air, it always comes back down. This is because of gravity. duh.

A force of 2N will stretch a rubber band 0.02m. Assuming that Hooke's Law applies, answer the following: How far will a 1600N fo
denis-greek [22]
Hooke's Law states that the extension is directly proportional to the force applied so:
F/x = constant

F₁/x₁ = F₂/x₂
2 / 0.02 = 1600 / x₂
x₂ = 16 m

Elastic work = 1/2 Fx
= 1/2 * 1600 * 16
= 12.8 kJ

I think the statement is false. Racewalking involves less impact than running. It <span> is a long-distance discipline within the sport of athletics. Although it is a foot race, it is different from running in that one foot must appear to be in contact with the ground.</span>
