suppose a scientist found a new matal-like substance in the desert. He determined its mass to be 20 grams. The volume was determ

ined by water displacement to be 5 cm^3. What is the density of the substance? Will it sink or float in liquid water ( 1g/cm^3)?

Density = (mass) / (volume)

Density = (20 g) / (5 cm³)

<em>Density = 4 g/cm³</em> .

The density of the substance is greater than the density of water. A lump of the substance <em>will sink in water</em>, <u>unless</u> the lump is formed into a shape that displaces 20 cm³ of water or more, such as a tiny boat shape.

<span>9000 Pascals Looking on the internet, it appears that a human can only suck about 3 feet of water. So let's convert that measurement into a few more convenient units. cmH2O = 36 * 2.54 = 91.44 cmH2O cmHg = 91.44 * 0.73555912101486 = 67.26 mmHg Pascal = 91.44 * 98.0665 = 8967 Pascals PSI = 91.44 * 0.0142233 = 1.3 psi Since we're dealing with science and the metric system is the most common system used in science, I'd recommend an answer of 9000 Pascals.</span>

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Less powerful

Explanation:

Hurricanes rely on warm water. It sucks heat energy from the water to use for fuel. Warmer water means more moisture, which also mean a bigger and/or stronger hurricane. The North Atlantic is definitely much colder than the Caribbean so the hurricane will not have much fuel.

Have a great day!
