Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

Explanation:

Given;

specific gravity of the object, γ = 0.850

Specific gravity is given as;

specific \ gravity = \frac{density \ of the \ object}{density \ of \ water}\\\\0.85= \frac{density \ of the \ object}{1000 \ kg/m^3} \\\\density \ of the \ object = 850 \ kg/m^3

Fraction of the object's weight below the surface of water is calculated as;

= \frac{850}{1000} \ \times\ 100\%\\\\= 85 \% \\\\= \frac{17}{20}

Therefore, the fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

I = 4.28 [amp]

Explanation:

To solve this type of problems we must have knowledge of the law of ohm, which tells us that the voltage is equal to the product of resistance by current.

Initial data:

v = 1.5 [volt]

R = 0.35 [ohms]

v = I * R

therefore:

I = 1.5 / 0.35

I = 4.28 [amp]

Despite a very strong wind, a tennis player
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Option 5. 1 and 3

Solution:

The only forces acting on the tennis ball after it has left contact with the racquet and the instant before it touches the ground are the force of gravity in the downward direction and the force by the air exerted on the ball.

The ball after it left follows the path of trajectory and as it moves forward in the horizontal direction the force of the air acts on it.

In the whole projectile motion of the ball, the acceleration due to gravity acts on the ball thus the force of gravity acts on the ball in the downward direction  before it hits the ground.

[TRUE/FALSE] If an object is moving at constant velocity it must be in equilibrium.
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

objects with constant velocity also have zero net external force. this means the forces on the object are balanced. this mean they are in equilibrium
