Answer:
The forces of push and pull
Explanation:
In the egg drop experiment, the egg is balanced on top of a toilet paper tube and balanced on a pan. The pan itself is placed on top of a glass of water. When the experimenter uses his hands to push the pan, the force of gravity pulls the egg downwards making it move down, right into the glass of water.
So the two forces which are applied in opposite directions are;
1. The force of push applied horizontally by the hand when it pushes the pan away, and
2. The force of pull caused by gravity which makes the egg move vertically downwards.
1 liter = 1000 cm^3
20cm * 20cm * 20cm = 8000 cm^3
8000/1000 = 8 liters
Since 1ml of water = 1 cm^3 = 1 grams
8 liters = 8000 grams = 8 kilograms
Answer:
Ethanol-filled thermometers are used in preference to mercury for meteorological measurements of minimum temperatures and can be used down to −70 °C (−94 °F). The physical limitation of the ability of a thermometer to measure low temperature is the freezing point of the liquid used.
The answer is both.
For kinetic energy:
KE = 1/2*m*v^2 = 0.5*20,000 grams*5 = 50,000 J
For gravitational potential energy:
Pe = mgh = 20,000 grams*9.81 m/s^2*2 m = 392.2 J
