First off, we have to assume that the 2.8 kg mass of the air matress includes both the material that the matress is constructed from and the air that is contained within.

The mattress can support a total weight that is equal to the weight of water that the air matress displaces.

The volume of the air mattress is:

V(mattress) = (2 m)(0.5 m)(0.1 m) = 0.1 m³

This volume is equal to the maximum amount of water that the matress can displace in the water before it begins sinking.

The density of water is 1000 kg / m²

The weight of the maximum amount of displaced water is:

V(matress) * (density of water) * (g) = (0.1 m³) * (1000 kg / m³) * (9.81 m / s²) = 981 N.

Let m represent the mass that the matress is supporting.

The total weight of the matress and the supported mass is:

(2.8 + m) * 9.81

Setting this weight equal to the weight of the water displaced gives:

(2.8 + m) * 9.81 = 981

2.8 + m = 100

m = 100 - 2.8

m = 97.2 kg

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! Briefly describe the three phases of self-regulation.<br> _PSYCHOLOGY_
Zinaida [17]

Phase 1. Forethought/preaction—This phase precedes the actual performance; sets the stage for action; maps out the tasks to minimize the unknown; and helps to develop a positive mindset. Realistic expectations can make the task more appealing. Goals must be set as specific outcomes, arranged in order from short-term to long-term. We have to ask students to consider the following:

<span>When will they start?Where will they do the work?How will they get started?<span>What conditions will help or hinder their learning activities are a part of this phase?
</span></span>

Phase 2. Performance control—This phase involves processes during learning and the active attempt to utilize specific strategies to help a student become more successful.

We have to ask students to consider the following:

<span>Are students accomplishing what they hoped to do?Are they being distracted?Is this taking more time than they thought?Under what conditions do they accomplish the most?What questions can they ask themselves while they are working?<span>How can they encourage themselves to keep working (including self-talk—come on, get your work done so you can watch that television show or read your magazine!)
</span></span>

Phase 3. Self-reflection—This phase involves reflection after the performance, a self-evaluation of outcomes compared to goals.

We have to ask students to consider the following:

<span>Did they accomplish what they planned to do?Were they distracted and how did they get back to work?Did they plan enough time or did they need more time than they thought?<span>Under what conditions did they accomplish the most work. 
Hope this helps!!!!!
