How many forces are acting on a stationary raft floating in a swimming pool A1 B2 or C3

Physics
1 answer:
Hitman42 [59]2 years ago
3 0
There are at least two forces on it, and there could be more.

Vertical forces:
-- gravity, directed downward
-- buoyant force, directed upward
These two forces must be exactly equal, so that the net
vertical force on the raft is zero.  Otherwise, it would be
accelerating either up or down.

Horizontal forces:
We know that the net horizontal force on the raft is zero. 
Otherwise, it would be accelerating horizontally.

But we don't know if there are actually no horizontal forces
at all, or a balanced group of horizontal forces, that add up
to a net force of zero.

As air temperature approaches the dew point, what happens to the relative humidity?
AleksAgata [21]
<span>Relative Humidity is a percentage based on how much moisture is in the air versus how much moisture the air can hold. The dewpoint is the temperature that the atmosphere must reach for a parcel of air to become fully saturated. That being said, if the temperature outside is 30 degrees (F or C doesn't matter), and the dewpoint goes from 10 to 20, then the relative humidity has increased, meaning there is more moisture present in the atmosphere.
The easiest way to look at pressure is by looking at the number of air molecules that are in a closed container. Gas molecules expand as they warm, so warming up a container of air means that these molecule will attempt to expand, thus increasing the pressure. Take for instance a soda bottle filled with air, if you heat a soda bottle, then the gases inside will attempt to expand (raising the pressure) and eventually the bottle will explode, but if you stick the same soda bottle in dry ice, the soda bottle will contract, due to decreased pressure. </span> Source(s): <span> Military Meteorologist

An object with mass M is attached to the
zysi [14]

Answer:

W = 5/4 Mgℓ

Explanation:

Sum of forces:

∑F = ma

T − Mg = M (g/4)

T = 5/4 Mg

Work = force × distance

W = Tℓ

W = 5/4 Mgℓ

If the magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave is in the +x-direction and the electric field of the wave is in the +y directio
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

The direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave

is given by the direction of vector E x B where E is electrical field , B is magnetic field .

Given Electric field  = E i because it is along x axis

Magnetic field = Bj because it is along y axis

E x B = Ei x Bj

= EB k .

so direction of E  x B is along k direction or z  - axis so wave is propagating along z - axis .

Sally goes on a hike. The distance she walks compared to the amount of time she walks is shown on the graph. Which statement is
Neko [114]
According to the task there should be the graph that supports Sally's hike, but after looking on the options it seems that Sally doesn't walks at a constant rate and there is the negative option that coincides with my thoughts. So, I bet the false statement is the third option represented in the scale above.
