Answer:
(4) The navy needed a faster way to move ships between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Explanation:
The Panama Canal was an artificial eighty-two (82) kilometers water-way that connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean in Panama and it enhanced maritime trades.
The construction of the Panama Canal became more important to the United States after the Spanish-American War because the navy needed a faster way to move ships
between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Answer:
4.17 g/mL
Explanation:
In order to determine the density of the solid, we need to know both its mass and its volume.
<em>The mass </em>is already given to us by the problem, 45.0 g.
As for <em>the volume</em>, we can determine it by using <u>Archimedes' principle.</u> It states that the volume of water displaced by an object when submerged is equal to the object's volume.
- Water displaced = 75.8 mL - 65 mL = 10.8 mL
Finally we <u>calculate the density</u> of the solid:
- Density = mass / volume = 45.0 g / 10.8 mL
