Answer:
Mass is the quantitative measure of inertia of any object.
Explanation:
The object that have largest mass will have largest inertia as well as largest momentum.
Using the principle of floatation.
u = w............(a)
Upthrust of fluid is equal to the weight of the object.
Let the volume of the wood be V.
The upthrust u, is related to the volume submerged in water, and that is 1/5 of it volume, that is (1/5)V = 0.2V
Formula for upthrust, u = vdg
where v = volume of fluid displaced
d = density of fluid
g = acceleration due to gravity
weight, w = mg
where m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
From (a)
u = w
vdg = mg Cancel out g
vd = m
The v is equal to 0.2V, which is the submerged volume. Notice that the small letter v is volume of fluid displaced, and capital V is the volume of the solid.
d is density of fluid which is water in this case, 1000 kg/m³
0.2V * 1000 = m
200V = m
Hence the mass of the object is 200V kg.
But Density of solid = Mass of solid / Volume of solid
= 200V / V
= 200 kg/m³
Density of solid = 200 kg/m³
Answer:
Explanation:
The climate of any particular place is influenced by a host of interacting factors.
The factor that influence climate are
1. latitude
2. elevation,
3. nearby water
4. ocean currents
5. topography
6. vegetation
7. prevailing winds.
The primary cause of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, such as oil and coal, which emits greenhouse gases into the atmosphere—primarily carbon dioxide. Other human activities, such as agriculture and deforestation, also contribute to the proliferation of greenhouse gases that cause climate change.
