Answer:

Pressure

Explanation:

Let , us understand by a simple example. Let us apply some force into a needle into a cardboard what we observe , we saw that the needle get into the cardboard.

Now we will apply the same force with a water bottle into the same cardboard , now we noticed that it doesn't get buried into it.

In both examples we noticed that force applied in both the cases is equal but the surface area of the object in which force applied is different.

Here come the term pressure.

Pressure is defined as force applied per unit area.

Therefore , as area increases pressure also decreases . That's why bottle don't get buried but needle go through it.

When a car driving up a hill with constant speed: I. its kinetic energy is decreasing. II. its potential energy is constant. III
madam [21]

A car driving up a hill at a constant speed experiences no change in its kinetic energy while it's potential energy increases with increasing height, thus none of the options are correct.

Understanding the concept

Consider a car moving up the hill at a constant speed as shown in the figure below. The following forces act on the car:

  • N is the normal reaction force acting in an upward direction
  • f_s is the static friction force exerted due to friction between the road and the tires of the car
  • f_k is the rolling friction force in the direction opposing that of the  tire
  • mg is the force acting in a downward direction.
  • θ is the angle of inclination.

Here as the car is moving up the hill at a constant speed, the net force exerted on the car is zero. Also, the kinetic energy of the car will not change as its velocity is constant and the potential energy will change with increasing height. Thus, none of the given options are correct.

How are compounds and mixture alike ?
natita [175]

Compounds are atoms or molecules that are chemically bonded together to form a different molecule or compound. The process could be written as a chemical reaction. A mixture is when two elements or compounds are mixed together but do not react, ie no chemical reaction between the two occurs.

Explain the costruction and working of windmill
fiasKO [112]
A windmill produces wind without electricity. wind blows on a windmill and it and that’s how it produces wind. You can put a windmill in anywhere outdoors (ex. Deserts or plains)

At which angle must a laser beam enter the water for no refraction to occur?
abruzzese [7]

Light that enters the new medium <em>perpendicular to the surface</em> keeps sailing straight through the new medium unrefracted (in the same direction).

Perpendicular to the surface is the "normal" to the surface. So the angle of incidence (angle between the laser and the normal) is zero, and the law of refraction (just like the law of reflection) predicts an angle of zero between the normal and the refracted (or the reflected) beam.

Moral of the story:  If you want your laser to keep going in the same direction after it enters the water, or to bounce back in the same direction it came from when it hits the mirror, then shoot it <em>straight on</em> to the surface, perpendicular to it.

According to Newton's Law of Cooling, if a body with temperature T 1 is placed in surroundings with temperature T 0, different f
Mila [183]

We can substitute the given values into the equation for T, given the surrounding temperature T0 = 0, initial temperature T1 = 140, constant k = -0.0815, and time t = 15 minutes.

T = 0 + (140 - 0)e^(-0.0815*15) = 140e^(-1.2225) = 41.23°F
