Answer:

buoyant force

Explanation:

The buoyant force is the pressure that is exerted on a immersed object by the surrounding fluid.

The buoyant force acts on the surface of the solid object even if the object is immersed in the fluid partially or completely. If the object is immersed in a fluid, the net force is given by the formula:

$F_{bottom} = (P_{atm} + \rho gh) A$

where Patm is the atmospheric pressure at the top of the object

pgh = pressure of the part in the fluid

F(bottom) is the upward force on the object

The net force is the same as the wight of the displaced object.

The principle is known as the Archimedes principle as the buoyant force is equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

$E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C$

direction is Horizontal

Explanation:

As we know that the string is horizontal here

so the tension force in the string is due to electrostatic force on it

now we will have

$F = qE$

so here the force is tension force on it

$F = 6.57 \times 10^{-2} N$

$Q = 6.80 \times 10^3 C$

now we have

$6.57 \times 10^{-2} = (6.80 \times 10^3)E$

$E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C$

direction is Horizontal

What is relative density?

Artemon [7]

Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity for liquids is nearly always measured with respect to water at its densest; for gases, the reference is air at room temperature.

In your own words, explain why we see a rainbow or colorful sunset. Explain the properties and interactions that make this displ

Maksim231197 [3]

Wee see rainbows due to the geometries of the raindrops. when the sun shines behind, rays of light enter the raindrops and this light are refracted. The lights are then reflected from the back of the raindrop and refracted again as it passes the rain drop. Refraction in this sense is the cause for splitting the light into several colors.
