Answer:

option (A)

Explanation:

According to the Archimede's principle, when a body s immersed partly or wholly in a liquid, it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the loss in the weight of body.

The weight of liquid displaces by the body is equal to the loss in weight of body.

Thus, option (a) is true.

The particle, initially at rest, is acted upon only by the electric force and moves from point a to point b along the x axis, in

bezimeni [28]

1) Potential difference: 1 V

2) $V_b-V_a = -1 V$

Explanation:

When a charge moves in an electric field, its electric potential energy is entirely converted into kinetic energy; this change in electric potential energy is given by

$\Delta U=q\Delta V$

where

q is the charge's magnitude

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference between the initial and final position

In this problem, we have:

$q=4.80\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the magnitude of the charge

$\Delta U = 4.80\cdot 10^{-19}J$ is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

Therefore, the potential difference (in magnitude) is

$\Delta V=\frac{\Delta U}{q}=\frac{4.80\cdot 10^{-19}}{4.80\cdot 10^{-19}}=1 V$

Here we have to evaluate the direction of motion of the particle.

We have the following informations:

- The electric potential increases in the +x direction

- The particle is positively charged and moves from point a to b

Since the particle is positively charged, it means that it is moving from higher potential to lower potential (because a positive charge follows the direction of the electric field, so it moves away from the source of the field)

This means that the final position b of the charge is at lower potential than the initial position a; therefore, the potential difference must be negative:

$V_b-V_a = - 1V$

A man is standing on the edge of a 20.0 m high cliff. He throws a rock horizontally with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s.

kherson [118]

Answer:

<em>a. The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground</em>

<em>b. The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff</em>

Explanation:

Horizontal motion occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v from a height h above the ground. When it happens, the object moves through a curved path determined by gravity until it hits the ground.

The time taken by the object to hit the ground is calculated by:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

The range is defined as the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object and it can be calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle d=v.t$

The man is standing on the edge of the h=20 m cliff and throws a rock with a horizontal speed of v=10 m/s.

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20}{9.8}}$

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{4.0816}$

t = 2.02 s

The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground

The range is calculated now:

$\displaystyle d=10\cdot 2.02$

d = 20.2 m

The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff

How can wind put off fire?

kipiarov [429]

♥ If the wind is strong enough it can do so.
♥ By having a strong enough wind you can blow out the fire before the flame can consume any more vapor.
♥ If the wind is fast enough, like a birthday cake candle for example, the wind will burn out.
