Answer:

(c) always equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.

Explanation:

Archimedes principle (also called physical law of buoyancy) states that when an object is completely or partially immersed in a fluid (liquid, e.t.c), it experiences an upthrust (or buoyant force) whose magnitude is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object.

Therefore, from this principle the best option is C - always equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.

What are the disadvantages of friction ?
lawyer [7]
In general? Well one example could be that if you owned an ice rink and somehow the ice had friction, you wouldn't be able to slide around on it any more to skate because the motion between one solid (your feet) and another (the ice) would increase. An effect of friction is heat, but my mixtape already fire so whats that even matter tbh.

A new planet is discovered that has twice the Earth's mass and twice the Earth's radius. On the surface of this new planet a per
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

Radius of new planet,R' = 2R

Mass of the earth, M' = 2 M

R and M is the Radius and Mass of the earth.

Weight of the person on earth = 500 N

Weight of the person in the new planet = ?

We know acceleration due to gravity is calculated by using formula

   g = \dfrac{GM}{R^2}

now, acceleration due to gravity on the new planet

   g' = \dfrac{GM'}{R'^2}

   g' = \dfrac{G(2M)}{(2R)^2}

   g' =\dfrac{1}{2} \dfrac{GM}{R^2}

   g' =\dfrac{g}{2}

here acceleration due to gravity is half in new planet, so weight will also be half on the new planet.

Weight on the new plane is equal to \dfrac{500}{2} = 250 N

correct answer is option B

The area of a piston of a force pump is 8 X 10⁴m². What force must be
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Force of 37.44 * 10^{8} Kgm/s^2 must be  applied to the piston to raise oil to a height of 6.0 m

Explanation:

As we know,

Pressure is the force per unit area

Or P = \frac{F}{A}

Force = P * A

Pressure is the product of density, gravitational constant and height

P = 780 * 10 * 6

Force

= P * A\\= 780 * 10*6*8*10^4\\= 37.44 * 10^{8}Kgm/s^2
