Answer:

The percentage of the submerged wood is 13%.

Explanation:

Given;

density of the Balsa wood, $\rho _{wood}$ = 130 kg/m³

density of pure water, $\rho_{water}$ = 1000 kg/m³

The percentage of the submerged wood is calculated as;

$Percentage \ of \ submerged \ wood = \frac{130 \ kg/m^3}{1000 \ kg/m^3} \ \times \ 100 \% \\\\Percentage \ of \ submerged \ wood = 13 \ \%$

Therefore, the percentage of the submerged wood is 13%.

Whenever you push an object across a frictional surface, it starts out taking a lot of force to push to get the object moving. H

son4ous [18]

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

Here's an example. A child is in school taking a test. They have made a mistake on a question, and want to erase it. The eraser is made out of a type of rubber, the rubber has friction, which means the eraser has something that's going to resist movement. Now the child has exerted enough force to get it moving, and it's moving, it won't stop unless the child stops exerting force to keep it moving. Both Newton's 1st and 3rd law explain the action of moving something on a surface with friction.

A person walks 2 miles every day to work, leaving her front porch at 7:00 A.M. and arriving at work at 7:30 A.M. ON the way home

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The displacement is zero miles

Explanation:

The displacement of an object that moves from point A to point B is defined as

$d =B-A$

Where d is the displacement of the object. The displacement does not depend on the trajectory of the object. It only depends on the linear distance between the end point and the starting point.

In this case we know that the person walks from home to work and then walks from work to home. Therefore, the total displacement is the linear distance between the point where its journey begins and the point where the route ends.

The tour begins on the front porch of your house and ends on the front porch of your house (when you return from work). If we call A to the front porch of the house then the displacement is:

$d = A-A = 0$

The displacement is zero miles, since the person finishes the journey just where it started (front porch)

Heat is the cause and temperature is an effect.How?

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

This is your answer(☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞

Explanation:

Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of motion of the molecules. ... As we add heat to a substance, we speed up the motion of the molecules in substance, hence, we increase their kinetic energy. So as we add heat to a substance, the temperature Increases.
