Answer:

1 N

Explanation:

Buoyant Force: This is also called upthrust, It can be defined as the force which act upward exerted by a fluid when an object is placed in it.

The S.I unit is Newton.

From the question,

Buoyant force = Weight of the object in air- weight of the object when submerged in water.

U = W-W'.......................... Equation 1

Where U = upthrust, W = weight in air, W' = weight when submerged in water.

Given: W = 3 N, W' = 2 N

Substitute into equation 1

U = 3-2

W = 1 N

Gravity on the surface of the moon is only 1/6 as strong as gravity on the Earth. What is the weight of a 19 kg object on the Ea
Dahasolnce [82]

The weight of anything in any place is

         (mass of the thing) x (acceleration of gravity in that place).

-- On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is about  9.807 m/s²

Weight of 19 kg of mass is  (19 kg) x (9.807 m/s²) =  <em>186.3 newtons</em>


-- On the Moon, the acceleration of gravity is about 1.623 m/s²

Weight of the same 19 kg of mass is  (19 kg) x (1.623 m/s²) = <em>30.8  newtons</em>

For the hypothetical reaction A → B, calculate the average rate of disappearance of A if the initial concentration of A is 0.91
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The right answer is 8.9 x 10^-3 M/min

Explanation:

           A → B

-d [A]/dt  = K [A]

ΔA/Δt     = - (C2 -C1)/t2 - t1

               = - (0.11 - 0.91)/90

               = 8.9 x 10^-3 M/min

Write a short description of how the motion of the racers might change from the start of the race to the finish line
Ad libitum [116K]
The motion of the racers might change from the start because the pressure goes up so all the racer wants is to speed up and win, so when the racer first starts he or she is calm because he's not driving yet and when he or she is on his/hers way to he finish line he/she just wants to win and gets under pressure so he speeds up even more and drifts.

See the diagram above. Which of the following is the best prediction of what would happen if you increased the distance in secti
Inessa [10]

By the definition of wavelength, the answer is the letter D, the wavelength would decrease.

We can see in the diagram a wave motion.

A wave has some characteristics:

  • Has an amplitude, the distance from 0 to the crest (highest point in the y-direction, point (3) in the figure) it would see in the figure as (2)
  • Has wavelength, the distance between the crests.
  • Has a trough, the lowest point in the y-direction.

Now, if we increase the distance of the crests, by the definition shown above, we will increase the wavelength.

Therefore, the answer is letter D, the wavelength would increase.

A cylindrical can 150 mm in diameter is filled to a depth of 100 mm with a fuel oil. The oil has a mass of 1.56 kg. Calculate it
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Density (φ) = 0,8827 Kg/L

Specific weight (Ws) = 8,65 N/L

Specific gravity (Gs) = 0,8827 (without unit)

Explanation:

The density formula: φ = \frac{m}{V}

I know the mass "m", I need to find out the volume of the cylinder (V)

V = π* r²*h

The radius "r" is equal to half the diameter (150mm) = 75mm

Now I can find out the density (φ)

φ = \frac{1,56Kg}{1,767145L} = 0,8827 Kg/L

The specific weight (Ws) is the relationship between the weight of substance (oil) and its volume. We apply the following formula:

Ws = φ*g

(g = gravity = 9,8 m/s²)

Finally, specific gravity (Gs) is the ratio between the density of a substance (oil) "φ(o)" and the density of water "φ(w)" :

Gs = φ(o) /  φ(w)

(φ(w) = 1 Kg/L

Hope this can help you !!
