Answer:

9/10

Explanation:

From Archimedes' principle, the buoyant force on the ice equals the weight of water displaced. Since the buoyant force equals the weight of the ice. then

ρ₁V₁g = ρ₂V₂g where ρ₁ = density of ice = 0.9 g/cm³ and V₁ = volume of ice and ρ₂ = density of water = 1 g/cm³ and V₂ = volume of water.

So. ρ₁V₁ = ρ₂V₂

V₁ = ρ₂V₂/ρ₁

=  1 g/cm³V₂/0.9 g/cm³ = 10V₂/9

Now, let x be the fraction of volume of ice submerged. So V = xV₁ = volume submerged. This volume also equals the volume of water since the submerged ice displaces its own volume of water.

So V = V₂

xV₁ = V₂

x(10V₂/9) = V₂

10x/9 = 1

x = 9/10

Answer:

Option B. 3.0×10¯¹¹ F.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Potential difference (V) = 100 V.

Charge (Q) = 3.0×10¯⁹ C.

Capacitance (C) =..?

The capacitance, C of a capacitor is simply defined as the ratio of charge, Q on either plates to the potential difference, V between them. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Capacitance (C) = Charge (Q) / Potential difference (V)

C = Q/V

With the above formula, we can obtain the capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor as follow:

Potential difference (V) = 100 V.

Charge (Q) = 3.0×10¯⁹ C.

Capacitance (C) =..?

C = Q/V

C = 3.0×10¯⁹ / 100

C = 3.0×10¯¹¹ F.

Therefore, the capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor is 3.0×10¯¹¹ F.

Which of the following takes place during a double displacement reaction?
bogdanovich [222]
Double displacement: parts of compounds switch places to form two new compounds

FYI
decomposition: a complex substance breaks down into two or more simple substances

Single displacement: a single substance replaces another substance in a compound

<span>Synthesis: two simple substances combine to form a new complex substance</span>
