Many students believe that orbiting astronauts<span> are </span>weightless<span> because they do not</span>experience<span> a force of gravity. ... While this is partly true, it does not explain their sense of </span>weightlessness<span>. The force of gravity acting upon an </span>astronaut<span> on the </span>space<span>station is certainly less than on </span>Earth's<span> surface.</span>

Could You Take 2 Elements From The Periodic Table Of Elements, and possibly make one of other 116 elements that are on the table
LekaFEV [45]
That's what stars do all the time. 
For example, in the sun (and MOST other stars), deep down in the center
of the sun's core, two atoms of Hydrogen get squashed together so hard
that they blend into one atom of Helium AND release some energy. 
That's where the sun's energy all comes from.  It's called "nuclear fusion". 
It needs tremendous temperature and pressure to happen.  We know how
to do it, but we can't control it.  So far, the only thing we've ever been able
to use it for is Hydrogen bombs.   

There are 92 elements on the Periodic Table that are found in nature,
plus another 20 or so that have been made in the laboratory, but only
a few atoms of them.

A cubical block of wood, 10.0 cm on a side, floats at the interface between oil and water with its lower surface 1.50 cm below t
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

the gauge pressure at the upper face of the block is 116 Pa

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

A cubical block of wood, 10.0 cm on a side.

height h = 1.50 cm = ( 1.50 × ( 1 / 100 ) ) m = 0.0150 m

density ρ = 790 kg/m³

Using expression for the gauged pressure;

p-p₀ = ρgh

where, p₀ is atmospheric pressure, ρ is the density of the substance, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the depth of the fluid.

we know that, acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s²

so we substitute

p-p₀ = 790 kg/m³gh × 9.8 m/s² × 0.0150 m

= 116.13 ≈ 116 Pa

Therefore, the gauge pressure at the upper face of the block is 116 Pa
