Answer:

Specific gravity can be used to determine if an object will sink or float on water. ... If an object or liquid has a specific gravity greater than one, it will sink. If the specific gravity of an object or a liquid is less than one, it will float.

hope this helps, have a great day/night, and stay safe!

Answer:

"Both students are correct. When light is traveling through small openings, solids, liquids, gases, or a vacuum, it behaves like a wave. When it interacts with matter, it acts like a stream of particles."

The temperature and pressure at the surface of Mars during a Martian spring day were determined to be -41 oC and 900 Pa, respect

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Part a)

$\rho = 0.0205 kg/m^3$

Part b)

$\rho = 1.22 kg/m^3$

So density of atmosphere at Martian Surface is very less than the density at Earth.

Explanation:

Part a)

As per ideal gas equation we know that

$PM = \rho RT$

here we know that Martian atmosphere is equivalent to that of carbon

so we will have

$P = 900 Pa$

$T = 273 - 41 = 232 K$

now we will have

$(900)(0.044) = \rho (8.31)(232)$

$\rho = 0.0205 kg/m^3$

Part b)

Now for the earth surface the density of air is given for

$P = 101.6 kPa$

$T = 18 ^oC$

so we will have

$PM = \rho RT$

$(101.6\times 10^3)(0.029) = \rho(8.31)(273 + 18)$

$\rho = 1.22 kg/m^3$

So density of atmosphere at Martian Surface is very less than the density at Earth.

What help in reversing direction of current of current

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

<em>To reverse the direction of an electric current, we simply reverse the voltage either automatically with the help of some switching circuitry or manually by changing the voltage source terminals connection. </em>

Explanation:

For electric current to flow, there must be a potential difference, usually referred to as the voltage. The electric current flow is analogous to the flow of water under the action of a pump, through a series of pipe connections. The voltage is similar to the driving action of the pump, and current flows the same way water flows. The resistance due to drag on the pipe wall is equivalent to electric resistance. For current to flow in the reverse direction, the voltage or rather, the potential difference is changed, causing the current to flow in the opposite direction. This can be done by switching the terminals of the voltage source, or by automatic means. The automatic switching can be done with a transistor based circuitry.
