Three identical buckets are each filled to the same level with steel ball bearings. Bucket A contains bearings that are 0.8 centimeters in diameter. Bucket B contains bearings that are 1.6 centimeters in diameter. Bucket C contains bearings that are 3.2 centimeters in diameter. Which would weigh the most

Respuesta :

Answer:

Bucket C contains bearings that are 3.2 centimeters in diameter.

Explanation:

Bucket C contains bearings that are 3.2 centimeters in diameter will have the most weight of the given buckets.

Weight is a function of the vertical force exerted on a body as a result of gravity.

         Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

The gravity on the three buckets is 9.8m/s²

  • The mass of the ball bearings should determine the bucket with the most weight from the given choices.
  • Mass is the amount of matter in a substance.
  • The larger diameter ball, has more matter and will eventually have the most mass from the given choices.
  • This will make it weigh the most from the given option.

The ball with the largest diameter will contain more matter compared to the one with the least diameter.
