Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity for liquids is nearly always measured with respect to water at its densest; for gases, the reference is air at room temperature.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

To calculate the acceleration we must use Newton's second law

F = m a

a = F / m

To calculate the force we use the defined pressure and the radiation pressure for an absorbent surface

P = I / c absorbent surface

P = F / A

F / A = I / c

F = I A / c

The area of area of a circle is

A = π r²

We replace

F = I π r² / c

Let's calculate

F = 8.0 10⁻³ π (1.0 10⁻⁶)²/3 10⁸

F = 8.375 10⁻²³ N

Density is

ρ = m / V

m = ρ V

m = ρ (4/3 π r³)

m = 4500 (4/3 π (1 10⁻⁶)³)

m = 1,885 10⁻¹⁴ kg

Let's calculate the acceleration

a = 8.375 10⁻²³ / 1.885 10⁻¹⁴

a = 4.44 10⁻⁹ m/s² absorbent surface

The correct answer is B

hey guys, l need some help! what is the weight of potatoes of mass 75 kg on the surface of the earth? (g=9.8m/s square) ans=735N

Airida [17]

Answer:

735N

Explanation:

Weight is a measurement of force.

F = Force

m = mass

a = acceleration

F = m*a

F = 75kg*9.8m/s²

F = 735N

Natalie lifts a 15-kg rock from the ground onto a 1.5 meter high wall. what is the amount of potential energy she has given the

Zina [86]

The amount of gravitational potential energy acquired by the rock is equal to:
$\Delta U = mg \Delta h$
where
m is the mass of the rock
g is the gravitational acceleration
$\Delta h$ is the increase in height of the rock

Substituting the data of the problem, we find
$\Delta U=(15 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.5 m)=220.7 J$
So, Natalie gave 220.7 J of energy to the rock.

Calculation for the depreciation on the building for 2021

First step is to calculate the depreciation expense for the year 2019 and 2020 using this formula

Depreciation expense = (Purchase price - Residual value) ÷ (Useful life)

Let plug in the formula

Depreciation expense= ($9,300,000 - $1,300,000) ÷ (20 years)

Depreciation expense= ($8,000,000) ÷ (20 years)

Depreciation expense= $400,000

Second step is to calculate the book value for the year 2021 using this formula

Book value = Purchase price - Depreciation expenses *2 years

Let plug in the formula

Book value= $9,300,000 - $400,000 × 2

Book value= $8,500,000

Last step is to calculate the depreciation for 2021 using this formula

2021 Depreciation=(Book value-Residual value)÷Useful life

2021 Depreciation= ($8,500,000 - $530,000) ÷ (15 years - 2 years)

2021 Depreciation=$7,970,000÷13 years

2021 Depreciation= $613,077

Therefore the depreciation on the building for 2021 will be $613,077
