Answer:

A. It would float with about 80% of the cube below the surface of the water and 20% above the surface.

Explanation:

The choice that best describes what happens to cube of the given density value is that it would float with about 80% of the cube would be below the surface of the water and 20% above the surface.

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance. The more mass a body has relative to volume, the great it's density. In short, density is directly proportional to mass and inversely related to volume.

The density of water is 1g/mL

If the density of the cube were to be the same with that of water, the substance will just mix up with water .

Here the density is less than that of water.

The density is 0.2g/mL

Therefore, 20% will stay afloat and 80% will be below the surface of the water.

First, we need to be aware that our blood is also a form of liquid.
So, when the astronaut is placed in within the environment that has decreased pressure, the temperature inside the astronaut's body will definitely increase but it won't cause the boiling effect like in water (it won't even break the arteries). But it could endanger the astronaut's life because it makes the blood unable to circulate properly due to unstable blood pressure

1. 4.67 kg; 2. 4.8 ×10^5 kg; 3. 0.106 cm^3; 4. 1.7 g/cm^3

Q1. Mass of Hg

Mass = 345 mL × (13.53 g/1 mL) = 4670 g = 4.67 kg

Q2. Mass of Pb

Step 1. Calculate the volume of the Pb.

V = lwh = 6.0 m × 3.5 m × 2.0 m = 42.0 m^3

Step 2. Calculate the mass of the Pb.

Mass = 42.0 m^3 × (11 340 kg/1 m^3) = 4.8 × 10^5 kg

Q3. Volume of displaced water

Volume of Ag = 0.987 g × (1 cm^3/9.320 g) = 0.106 cm^3

Archimedes: volume of displaced water = volume of Ag = 0.106 cm^3

4. Density of metal

Step 1. Convert ounces to grams

Mass = 3.35 oz × (28.35 g/1 oz) = 94.97 g

Step 2. Calculate the volume in cubic inches

V = lwh = 3.0 in × 2.5 in × 0.45 in = 3.38 in^3

Step 3. Convert cubic inches to cubic centimetres

V = 3.38 in^3 × (2.54 cm/1 in)^3 = 55.3 cm^3

Step 4. Calculate the density

ρ = m/V = (94.97 g/55.3 cm^3) = 1.7 g/cm^3 (magnesium?)

Which direction does air circulate into low pressure zones in the northern and southern hemisphere

Yuri [45]

Now consider a low pressure area on a disk as shown below.A parcel of air at point A would move toward the center of the low pressure area. That movement would take it farther away from the center of the disk and therefore it would move to the west. A parcel of air at B would move toward the center of the low pressure area which would also take it closer to the center of the spinning disk where its speed is greater than the surrounding points. It would appear to move to the east. With A moving to the west and B moving to the east the line from A to B is rotating counterclockwise.
