Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The density of an object is its mass per unit volume, that is the ratio of mass to volume occupied. It is given by:

Density = mass / volume

A body floats in a liquid when the buoyant force (weight of displaced liquid) is more than the weight of the body, it sinks if the buoyant force is less than the weight of the body and remains at the same depth if the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the body.

The density of Kerosene is less that the density of water. So a body displaces a greater weight of water than that of kerosene, and hence floats in water but sinks in kerosene.

Leni [432]

Answer:

a.Electric force exerted on one charged sphere, by another charged sphere.

Explanation:

Coulomb's Law describes the electric force between two objects. It is given by the following formula:

$\vec{F} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}\^r$

The magnetic field surrounding a current carrying conductor is described by Ampere's Law.

Amount of heat generated by a high current flow in a resistor can be described by P = VI

Voltage induced in a coil by a constant magnetic field is described by Faraday's Law.

katrin [286]

The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

A anthropocentric

B frontier

C land

D biocentric

I think the correct answer is option A. It is anthropocentric the type of ethic that is life-centered and views humans as just one component life on Earth. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
