Answer:

Depending on the relative position of the Earth the Sun and Neptune in the Earths orbit the distances are;

The closest (minimum) distance of Neptune from the Earth is 29 AU

The farthest (maximum) distance of Neptune fro the Earth is 31 AU

Explanation:

The following parameters are given;

The distance from the Earth to the Sun = 1 AU

The distance of Neptune from the Earth = 30 AU

We have;

When the Sun is between the Earth and Neptune, the distance is found by the relation;

Distance from the Earth to Neptune = 30 + 1 = 31 AU

When the Earth is between the Sun and Neptune, the distance is found by the relation;

Distance from the Earth to Neptune = 30 - 1 = 29 AU

Therefore, the closest distance from Neptune to the Earth in the Earth's Orbit is 29 AU

The farthest distance from Neptune to the Earth in the Earth's orbit is 31 AU.

The normal force is the supporting force that is exerted on an object that is in contact with another stable object.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

Normal force is forward or upward pushing force acting on an object. Mostly the normal force acts as supporting force exerted on the object by the neighbouring stable object with which the object in question is in contact. So normal force falls under the category of contact forces.

Generally, normal force will be acting to support the weight of any object placed on another object. The best examples of normal forces are the weight of the book supported by table or by the pushing force of the wall on the person leaning on the wall.

If you chip your tooth enamel, it may grow back. <br> True<br> False

Yuri [45]

Answer:

When a patient has a chipped tooth, it means that a small portion of their tooth is no longer there. Chipped teeth are one of the more common types of dental problems that general dentists deal with. However, chipped teeth do not grow back on any portion of a tooth and instead need to be repaired by a general dentist.

While at the county fair, you decide to ride the Ferris wheel. Having eaten too many candy apples and elephant ears, you find th

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

$v=3.47m/s$

Explanation:

The speed is by definition the distance traveled divided over the time it takes to travel that distance. In this case, this distance is the circumference of the wheel, so we have:

$v=\frac{C}{t}=\frac{2\pi r}{t}$

where we have written the circumference in terms of its radius.

For our values we then obtain the value:

$v=\frac{2\pi r}{t}=\frac{2\pi (16m)}{(29s)}=3.47m/s$

An object is floating in equilibrium on the surface of a liquid. The object is then removed and placed in another container, fil

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The fraction of its volume inside liquid is increased .

Explanation:

According to principle pf floatation , an object floats on the surface of water

when the weight of liquid displaced by it becomes equal to weight of the object . weight of the liquid depends upon the density of the liquid .

In the second case , when the body is dipped into liquid of lesser density , in order to balance the weight of body , more volume of liquid will be displaced so that weight of displaced liquid becomes equal to object's weight . So the body floats with greater depth inside liquid . The fraction of its volume inside liquid is increased .

Please help me to solve this and give me the summary of answer

Neko [114]

Using the principle of floatation.

u = w............(a)

Upthrust of fluid is equal to the weight of the object.

Let the volume of the wood be V.

The upthrust u, is related to the volume submerged in water, and that is 1/5 of it volume, that is (1/5)V = 0.2V

Formula for upthrust, u = vdg

where v = volume of fluid displaced
d = density of fluid
g = acceleration due to gravity

weight, w = mg
where m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity

From (a)

   u = w

   vdg = mg Cancel out g

   vd = m

The v is equal to 0.2V, which is the submerged volume. Notice that the small letter v is volume of fluid displaced, and capital V is the volume of the solid.

d is density of fluid which is water in this case, 1000 kg/m³

   0.2V * 1000 = m

   200V = m

Hence the mass of the object is 200V kg.

But Density of solid = Mass of solid / Volume of solid

   = 200V / V

   = 200 kg/m³

Density of solid = 200 kg/m³
