Answer:

Upthrust = 20 N

Explanation:

The question says that "A body weighs 100N in air and 80N when submerged in water. Calculate the upthrust acting on the body ?"

Upthrust is defined as the force when a body is submerged in liquid, then liquid applies a force on it.

ATQ,

Weight of body in air is 100 N

Weight of body in water is 80 N

Upthrust is equal to the weight of body in air minus weight of body in water.

Upthrust = 100 N - 80 N

Upthrust = 20 N

So, 20 N of upthrust is acting on the body.

It says find the slope for each line I'm stuck on number one can you help me

Allushta [10]

$\text{slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

(-2, -1)(3, 1)

Therefore,

$\text{slope}=\frac{1-(-1)}{3-(-2)}=\frac{1+1}{3+2}=\frac{2}{5}$

What does the Pauli exclusion principle state? . . A.Electrons will be added to an atom at the lowest possible level or sublevel

BARSIC [14]

The Pauli exclusion principle state that : D. Two electrons occupy the same orbital only if they have opposite spins

This happen because he stated that in an atom or molecule, two electrons CANNOT have same four electronic quantum numbers

hope this helps

Nikolas had an idea that he could use the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher to propel him on his skateboard.

Vikentia [17]

The Newton’s law Nikolas would use to come up with this idea is the Third law that states:

When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.

So, in this case, let's name the first Body A which is the skateboard and the second body B which is the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher. Then, as shown in the figure below, according to the Third law:

 $FA = -FB$

A 350-N child is in a swing that is attached to a pair of ropes 2.10 m long. Find the gravitational potential energy of the chil

o-na [289]

Answer:

a) U = 735 J , b) U = 125.7 J , c) U = 0 J

Explanation:

The gravitational power energy is

U = mg y - mg y₀

The last value is a constant, for simplicity we can make it zero, if the lowest point is at the origin of the coordinate system, which in this case we will place in the lowest part

a) Rope is horizontal

The height in this case is the same length of the rope

y = 2.10 m

w = mg = 350 N

U = 350 2.10

U = 735 J

b) when the angle is 34º

y = L - L cos 34

y = L (1- cos34)

y = 2.10 (1- cos 34)

y = 0.359 m

U = 350 0.359

U = 125.7 J

c) in this case this point coincides with the reference system

y = 0

U = 0 J

An airplane engine starts from rest; and 2 seconds later, it is rotating with an angular speed of 300 rev/min. if the angular ac

elena-s [515]

First of all, we need to convert the angular speed from rev/min into rev/s:

$\omega_f=300 rev/min=5 rev/s$

The angular acceleration is the variation of angular speed divided by the time:

$\alpha=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}=\frac{5 rev/s-0}{2 s}=2.5 rev/s^2$

And this is constant, so we can use the following equation to calculate the angle through which the engine has rotated:

$\theta(t)=\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2 =\frac{1}{2}(2.5 rev/s^2)(2 s)^2=5 rev$

so, 5 revolutions.
