A raft with the area A , thickness= h and the mass 600 kg, Floats in still water with 7 cm

1 answer:

7 0

In this problem, we need to solve for Bubba’s mass. To do this, we let A be the area of the raft and set the weight of the displaced fluid with the raft alone as ρwAd1g and ρwAd2g with the person on the raft, where ρw is the density of water, d1 = 7cm, and d2= 8.4 cm. Set the weight of displaced fluid equal to the weight of the floating objects to eliminate A and ρw then solve for m.

ρwAd1g = Mg

ρwAd2g = (M + m) g

d2∕d1 = (M + m)/g

m = [(d2∕d1)-1] M = [(8.4 cm/7.0 cm) - 1] (600 kg) =120 kg

This means that Bubba’s mass is 120 kg.

An atom has an atomic number 17 and atomic mass number 35. How many neutrons are present in its nucleus?

Anna [14]

The number of neutrons that are present in its nucleus is 18. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B". Mass number minus the atomic number gives the number of neutrons. I hope that this is the answer that has come to your help.

Svetach [21]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

The magnetization of rocks is found to reverse in a coordinated manner with distance from the ridge.The fact that it implies about the Earth's magnetic field is that the Earth's magnetic Field is able to reverse with time. And if we know the rate of time for spreading we can find the rate of reversal.

Which part of a feedback mechanism is able to monitor the conditions outside of cells and usually uses nerve cells to relay this

Agata [3.3K]

Answer: A.) sensor

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the ability of the organism's inner body to regulate the internal environment in stable state with respect to the changes occurring in the external environment. It is usually done by the feedback controls.

The maintenance of homeostasis within the body is essential. The following are the factors which controls the homeostasis. These includes:

1. Stimulus: It generate a response. It is an external factor which brings change in the internal body of the organism.

2. Receptor/ sensor: It detects the external stimulus and responds to the change.

3. Control center: The information from the receptor travels along the afferent pathway towards the control center. The function of the control center is to determine the response and controls the action.

4. Effector: The information from the control center travels down the efferent pathway to the effector. The function of the effector is to balance the stimulus to regulate and maintain homeostasis.
