Why is there an upward force on objects in water?

Physics
1 answer:
Paraphin [41]3 years ago
4 0
If you'r referring to some objects, it means that the mass of the object is less than the water so it floats. If the mass of an object is greater than the mass of the water, it will sink. Compare it to a balloon, helium makes it rise, while normal air makes it sink.

What is the average kinetic energy of helium atoms in a region of the solar corona where the temperature is 5.90 x 10^5 K?
OLEGan [10]

<u>Answer:</u> The average kinetic energy of helium atoms is 1.222\times 10^{-17}J

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the average kinetic energy of the atom, we use the equation:

K=\frac{3}{2}kT

where,

K = average kinetic energy = ?

k = Boltzmann constant = 1.3807\times 10^{-23}J/K

T = temperature = 5.9\times 10^5K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

K=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.3807\times 10^{-23}J/K\times 5.9\times 10^5K\\\\K=1.222\times 10^{-17}J

Hence, the average kinetic energy of helium atoms is 1.222\times 10^{-17}J

Imagine our Solar System is moving in the Milky Way towards a group of two stars. Star A is a Red star that is slightly closer t
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

None of the stars give of light that is red-shifted

Explanation:

Motion of the observer or the source will cause a change in the wavelength of a wave. This is known as the Doppler effect. When an object and observer are getting close, blue shift occurs i.e., the wavelength gets shorter. When an object and observer are getting farther red shift occurs i.e., the wavelength gets longer.

Here, both the stars are getting closer to us so blue shift will occur.

Describe scalar and vector quantities. Include a definition and provide at least one example of how they are alike and how they
Lunna [17]

Scalar quantities have only magnitude. example temperature, distance.

Vector quantities have magnitude and direction.Example force, velocity.

You can say "I applied a force p\of 3 newtons to the left" but you can't say I added 32 Fahrenheit to the left
