Answer:

a. wedge

Explanation:

The wedge machine is used to separate, lift or split

objects. It is triangular in shape with a tapered formation thick and blunt on one end, thin on the other end (the edge)

A small metal sphere weighs .28 N in air and has a volume of13
Ray Of Light [21]

To solve this problem we will start by considering how to calculate the apparent weight. On the sphere this will then be given that the real weight is the sum of the apparent weight and the Buoyant Force. Therefore we will have to

W_T = W_A + F_B

Here

W_T= True Weight

W_A= Apparent Weight

F_B= Buoyant Force

If we seek to find the apparent weight we will have to,

W_A = W_T-F_B

W_A = 0.28N - V\rho g

Remember that

V = Volume (Volume Sphere)

\rho= Density (At this case water density)

g = Gravitational acceleration

W_A = 0.28N - (13*10^{-6}m^3)(1000kg/m^3)(9.8)

W_A = 0.1526N

Therefore the apparent weight will be 0.1526N

A ball falls off the desk and hits the floor. Which
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy

Explanation:

This particular case is defined as the principle of energy conservation since energy is not created or destroyed only transforms. When you have potential energy it can be transformed into kinetic energy or vice versa. In this problem, we have the case of a ball that sits on a desk and then falls to the ground. In this way the ground will be taken as a reference point, this is a point at which the potential energy will be equal to zero in such a way that when the ball is on the desktop that is above the reference line its potential energy will be maximum. As the ball drops its potential energy decreases, as the height relative to the ground (reference point) decreases. In contrast its kinetic energy increases and increases as it approaches the ground. So when it hits the ground it will have maximum kinetic energy and will be equal to the potential energy for when the ball was on the desk.

Therefore:

E_{p} = potential energy [J] = E_{k} = kinetic energy [J]where:\\E_{p} =m*g*h\\m =mass [kg]\\g=gravity[m/s^2]\\h=elevation[m]\\E_{k} = \frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\where:\\v=velocity [m/s]\\\frac{1}{2}  *m*v^{2} = m*g*h
