Thumbtacks have a flat top which gives you a bigger area to push on, and the end is tapered and sharp to make it easier to push it into a wall, etc.

Hey!!

here is your answer >>>

We know that, acids and strong bases are good conductors of electricity!. And gold conducts electricity , while the best is silver and niext comes gold!. And H20 which is water contains less ions , so it is not a good conductors , it is a conductors but not a good conductor!. Salt in it's solid for cannot produce ions, hence, it cannot conduct electricity , but when this salt is mixed with water or when it is in it's molten state it can conduct electricity!. So now,the answer for the question is ,

B) III and IV only!.

Hope my answer helps!

If an object force of 50 N is used to move an object a distance of 20 m, what distance must the object be moved if the input for
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

\ d_{out} = 100 \ m.

Explanation:

Given data:

F_{in} = 50 \ \rm N

F_{out} = 10 \ \rm N

d_{in} = 20 \ m

Let the distance traveled by the object in the second case be d_{out}.

In the given problem, work done by the forces are same in both the cases.

Thus,

W_{in} = W_{out}

F_{in}.d_{in} = F_{out}.d_{out}

\Rightarrow \ d_{out} = \frac{F_{in}.d_{in}}{F_{out}}

\ d_{out} = \frac{50 \times 20}{10}

\ d_{out} = 100 \ m.

Having just enough weight to achieve all three states of buoyancy with only minor adjustments in the water is the definition of:
eduard

Answer:

Proper weighting

Explanation:

Proper weighing involves the condition of a scuba diver that is fully geared having a near empty tank and the BCD emptied with a held breadth is expected to float at eye level

The fundamental of adequate or good buoyancy of a scuba diver is to ensure proper weighting when diving, With proper weighting, there is more control for the diver when a safety stop is required. There is less need to carry excess weight that increases drag and gas consumption.

You attach a meter stick to an oak tree, such that the top of the meter stick is 2.27 meters above the ground. later, an acorn f
Alexandra [31]

The acorn was at a height of <u>4.15 m</u> from the ground before it drops.

The acorn takes a time t to fall through a distance h₁, which is the length of the scale. When the acorn reaches the top of the scale, its velocity is u.

Calculate the speed of the acorn at the top of the scale, using the equation of motion,

s=ut+ \frac{1}{2} at^2

Since the acorn falls freely under gravity, its acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity g.

Substitute 2.27 m for s (=h₁), 0.301 s for t and 9.8 m/s² for a (=g).

s=ut+ \frac{1}{2} at^2\\ (2.27 m)=u(0.301s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^2)(0.301s)^2\\ u=\frac{1.8261m}{0.301s} =6.067m/s

If the acorn starts from rest and reaches a speed of 6.067 m/s at the top of the scale, it would have fallen a distance h₂ to achieve this speed.

Use the equation of motion,

v^2=u^2+2as

Substitute 6.067 m/s for v, 0 m/s for u, 9.8 m/s² for a (=g) and h₂ for s.

v^2=u^2+2as\\ (6.067m/s)^2=(0m/s)^2+2(9.8m/s^2)h_2\\ h_2=\frac{(6.067m/s)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =1.878 m

The height h above the ground at which the acorn was is given by,

h=h_1+h_2=(2.27 m)+(1.878 m)=4.148 m

The acorn was at a height <u>4.15m</u> from the ground before dropping down.
