Answer:

Bouyancy

Explanation:

Bouyancy occurs when the upthrust exerted on an object is equal to the weight of object displaced. It is mostly applicable to low density objects for example balloon. When balloon is displaced in water, it floats. This is due to the effect of the upthrust acting on the balloon which allows the balloon to float and which is opposite the weight.

Note that the weight acts downwards the object while the upthrust always acts opposite (upward)

What are the potential out comes of force
AysviL [449]

Answer:

F in the definition of potential energy is the force exerted by the force field, e.g., gravity, spring force, etc. The potential energy U is equal to the work you must do against that force to move an object from the U=0 reference point to the position r.

A box mass of 24kg is being pulled horizontally on a rough surface by an applied force of 585N. The coefficient of kinetic frict
Elan Coil [88]

the normal force is the force applied opposite to the weight of the was box. So the normal force is equal to the weight of the box = 24 kg *(9.81 m/s2) = 235.44 N

the acceleration of the box be solve using newtons 2nd law of motion:

F = ma

a = F/ m = 585 N/ 24 kg = 24.38 m/s2

Elenna [48]

Answer:

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}

Explanation:

The period of the simple pendulum is:

T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

Where:

l - Cord length, in m.

g - Gravity constant, in \frac{m}{s^{2}}.

Given that the same pendulum is test on each planet, the following relation is formed:

T_{1}^{2}\cdot g_{1} = T_{2}^{2}\cdot g_{2}

The ratio of the gravitational constant on planet CornTeen to the gravitational constant on planet Earth is:

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \left(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}} \right)^{2}

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \left(\frac{2\,s}{4\,s} \right)^{2}

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}
