Answer:

Because of it being able to become a gas, a liquid, and solid, and because its used in lots of chemical experiments. (also because its easier to describe it than any other liquid)

Explanation:

1. Water is used in most Chemicals, therefore its being used as a reference material.

2. W

Two forces (4N and 3N) pull your the left, while a 12N force pulls to the right. What is the net force

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The answer is 11N to the right

Explanation:

Because 4N-3N= 1N

Therefore, 12N-1N=11N

The netforce is 11N to the right, because the greatest force is 12N to the right so it is more likely that the object is being pulled to the right.

irinina [24]

Answer:

0.655 m

13.468°C

Explanation:

v = Speed of sound at 20.0°C = 343 m/s (general value)

For one both end open we have the expression

$L=\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{\dfrac{v}{f_1}}{2}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{\dfrac{343}{261.6}}{2}\\\Rightarrow L=0.655581039755\ m$
