Technician a says that the water pump is a centripetal pump. technician b says that centripetal force is the outward force that

is exerted on a rotating object. who is correct?

<span>Technician A is correct about the water pump being a centripetal pump and the definition of the centripetal force given by technician B is wrong. The force that happens on a body moving in a circular path and move towards the centre to which the body is moving is called as centripetal force. So it’s not an outward force.</span>

The specific weight of sea water is 10.1 kN/m^3. Convert to lbs/in^3.
Viktor [21]

Answer:

0.03719 lbs/in³

Explanation:

Specific weight is given by multiplying the density of an object to the acceleration due to gravity.

\gamma =\rho g\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{gamma}{g}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{10.1\times 10^3}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1029.562\ kg/m^3

1\ kg=2.20462\ lb

1\ m=39.3701\ in

\\\Rightarrow 1029.562\ kg/m^3=\frac{1029.562\times 2.20462}{39.3701^3}=0.03719\ lbs/in^3

So,

10.1\ kN/m^3=0.03719\ lbs/in^3

What happens when you want to move the boat forward? You pull the oars toward yourself.Explain why you do this.
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

You pull on the oars. By the third law, the oars push back on your hands, but that’s irrelevant to the motion of the boat. The other end of each oar (the blade) pushes against the water. By the third law, the water pushes back on the oars, pushing the boat forward.

Explain how mirrors can produce images that are larger or smaller than life size, as well as upright or inverted
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

1) When d_{o} < d_{i} (hence  d_{o} < f ) and they are both in front of the mirror (positive), the image will be larger and inverted

2) When d_{o} > d_{i} (and d_{o} < f ) such that they are both positive (in front of the mirror), the image will be smaller and inverted

3) When the image is behind the mirror, for convex mirrors and the object is in front the image will be uptight. The magnification of the image will be the ratio of the image distance to the object distance from the mirror

Explanation:

The position of an object in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature, R, determines the size and orientation of the image of the object as illustrated in the mirror equation

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{d_{o}} + \dfrac{1}{d_{i}}

Magnification, \, m = \dfrac{h_{i}}{h_{o}} = -\dfrac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}

Where:

f = Focal length of the mirror = R/2

d_{i} = Image distance from the mirror

d_{o} = Object distance from the mirror

h_{i} = Image height

h_{o} = Object height

d_{o} is positive for an object placed in front of the mirror and negative for an object placed behind the mirror

d_{i} is positive for an image formed in front of the mirror and negative for an image formed behind the mirror

m is positive when the orientation of the image and the object is the same

m is negative when the orientation of the image and the object is inverted

f and R are positive in the situation where the center of curvature is located in front of the mirror (concave mirrors) and f and R are negative in the situation where the center of curvature is located behind the mirror (convex mirrors)

∴ When d_{o} < d_{i} (hence  d_{o} < f ) and they are both in front of the mirror (positive), the image will be larger and inverted

When d_{o} > d_{i} (and d_{o} < f ) such that they are both positive (in front of the mirror), the image will be smaller and inverted

When the image is behind the mirror, for convex mirrors and the object is in front the image will be uptight. The magnification of the image will be the ratio of the image distance to the object distance from the mirror.

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Gravitational force mg' =(49)mg=49×63=28N.

Explanation:

What is the gravitational force on it due to the Earth , at a height equal to half the radius of the Earth ? (Given that the radius of Earth = 6400 km). Gravitational force mg ( This is not the real explanation)

Charcoal appears black in color because it
steposvetlana [31]
C. This is the idea of "black body radiation". Charcoal/carbon is a "perfect black body". Absorbs all radiation. There's a whole host of stuff about this in physics, including, I think, Planck's (Nobel Prize winner) black body radiation theory.
