You just said that the object is "floating".  

(As soon as you said that, a picture of a duck flashed through my mind.  But then I knew right away that the duck could not be an accurate representation of the situation you're describing.  340 N would be <u><em>some duck</em></u> ... about 76 pounds ... and that duck would have been caught and eaten a long time ago. I mean ... what could a 76-pound duck do ?  Could it fly away ?  Could it run away ? ?  Not likely.)

So it's not a duck, but whatever it is, it's just sitting there on the water, floating.  What's important is that it's <u><em>not accelerating</em></u> up or down.  THAT tells us that the vertical forces on it are balanced so that there's NO NET vertical force on it at all.

What are the vertical forces on it ?  There's gravity, pulling it DOWN with a force of 340 N, and there's buoyancy, pushing it UP.  The SUM of those two forces must be <em>zero</em> ... otherwise the object would be accelerating up or down.

It's not.  So (gravity) + (buoyancy) must add up to zero.

The buoyant force on the object is <em>340 N UPward.</em>

Which bright solar feature is shown in the picture above?
Ghella [55]

Answer : (B) Prominence

Explanation :

A large, glittering and gaseous characteristic which is extending outward from the surface of the sun is called <em>Prominence</em>.

<em>Photosphere</em> is one of the layer of sun where the prominence are anchored and then they move into the corona of the sun.

<em>Corona</em> is a region in the surface of the sun which is the constituent of hot ionized gases (plasma).

The prominence consists of colder plasma and this prominence plasma is much more shining and denser as compared to coronal plasma.

Hence, the correct option is (B) Prominence.

Answer: The free ending nerves.

Explanation:

At our fingertips, we have a lot of sensory nerve endings, that give information about changes that occur at your skin.

Like touching something with a given texture, feeling pain, or noticing changes in temperature.

There are different types of nerve endings, particularly the ones responsible to detect pain, and temperature are the free nerve endings.

So Marcus may have the free nerve endings damaged.
