What is buoyant force?
Nostrana [21]

This is the upthrust on an object which is placed inside a fluid

This force act upwards and always push upwards

so the correct answer is given as

D. A force within a fluid that pushes upward

this force is always due to pressure difference at two levels of

at lower level since pressure is more that is why the force is upwards and this upthrust is known as Buoyancy

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. A. Ella said "a lot of energy in the hot water has disappeared." Explain why her stateme
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of energy states that; energy can neither be created nor destroyed but is converted from one form to another.

In view of this principle, Ella can not be correct when she says that a lot of energy has disappeared. The use of the term "disappeared" connotes the idea that the energy no longer exists which does not happen.

Hence, energy can not "disappear" from hot water rather the energy in the water may be transferred to the surroundings.

A speeder passes a parked police car at a constant speed of 23.3 m/s. At that instant, the police car starts from rest with a un
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

t = 16.94 s

Explanation:

t is the time passes before police catch the speeder

speed of speeder Vo = V = 23.3 m/s

T = t

Police Info

Vo = 0 m/s

a = 2.75 m/s^2

t = t

Now,

displacement of the police car = displacement of the speeder.

x_{police} = Vo *t + 1/2 at^2

since Vo = 0

x police = 1/2 at^2

x police = 1/2 (2.75)(t)^2

Now the displacement of speeder is

x_{speeder} = Vt

x_{speeder} = 23.3 t

x_{speeder} = x_{police}

23.3 t = 1/2 * 2.75 t^2

23.3 t = 1.375 t^2

t = 23.3\1.375

t = 16.94

t = 16.94 s
