Answer: buoyant force

Explanation:

Leokris [45]3 years ago

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.

2. A 2kg body attached to a spring undergoes a SHM of amplitude 0.4m and period
Rudik [331]

Answer:

a) 12.8 N

b) 3.2 m/s²

Explanation:

I'm guessing the period is 0.5π s.

Period of a spring in simple harmonic motion is:

T = 2π √(m/k)

Given T = 0.5π and m = 2 kg:

0.5π = 2π √(2/k)

0.25 = √(2/k)

0.0625 = 2/k

k = 32

The spring constant is 32 N/m, and the maximum displacement is 0.4 m.  The maximum force can be found with Hooke's law:

F = kx

F = (32 N/m) (0.4 m)

F = 12.8 N

The acceleration can be found with Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

kx = ma

(32 N/m) (0.2 m) = (2 kg) a

a = 3.2 m/s²

To form a hydrogen atom, a proton is fixed at a point and an electron is brought from far away to a distance of 0.529 ✕ 10−10 m,
Elodia [21]
1) First of all, let's calculate the potential difference between the initial point (infinite) and the final point (d=0.529x10-10 m) of the electron.
This is given by:
\Delta V =- \int\limits^{d}_{\infty} {E} \, dr
Where E is the electric field generated by the proton, which is
E=k_e  \frac{q}{r^2} 
where k_e=8.99\cdot10^9~Nm^2C^{-2} is the Coulomb constant and q=1.6\cdot10^{-19}~C is the proton charge.
Replacing the electric field formula inside the integral, we obtain
\Delta V =- \int\limits^{d}_{\infty} {k_e  \frac{q}{r^2} } \, dr = k_e  \frac{q}{d}= 27~V

2) Then, we can calculate the work done by the electric field to move the electron (charge q_e=-1.6\cdot10^{-19}C) through this \Delta V. The work is given by
W=-q_e \Delta V = - (-1.6\cdot10^{-19}C) (27V)=4.35\cdot10^{-18}~J

Based on the diagram of a roller coaster car on a roller coaster track, what statement is true?
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

B) The car at point C has less kinetic energy than the car at point B.

Explanation:

We have two types of energy involved in this situation:

- Gravitational potential energy: this is the energy related to the heigth of the car, and it is given by U=mgh, where m is the mass of the car, g is the gravitational acceleration, and h is the heigth of the car. The potential energy is higher when the car is located higher above the ground.

- Kinetic energy: this is the energy due to the motion of the car, and it is given by K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2, where m is the mass of the car and v is its speed. The kinetic energy is higher when the speed of the car is higher.

- The law of conservation of energy states that the total mechanical energy of the car (sum of potential energy and kinetic energy: E=U+K) is constant). This implies that when the car is at a higher point, the kinetic energy is less (because U is larger, so K must be smaller), while when the car is at a lower point, the kinetic energy is larger.

- Based on what we have written so far, we can conclude that the correct statement is:

B) The car at point C has less kinetic energy than the car at point B.

Because the car at point C is located at a higher point than point B, so the car at point C has larger potential energy than at point B, which implies that car at point C has less kinetic energy than the car at point B.

At which location would an objects weight be the greatest. 1.pluto 2.earth 3.sun 4.moon
Maslowich

Weight of the object is given as

Weight = mg

so weight of the object will be maximum where gravity(g) will be maximum

so here out of all given four the gravity "g" will be maximum at the surface of SUN as we know that sun will be of maximum mass out of all four planets

as we know that

g = \frac{GM}{R^2}

so correct answer will be

3. SUN
