All processes that exist obey the Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy. These laws state that mass and energy can neither be made nor destroyed. Thus, they are only transferred from one system to another. The more technical term is that, mass and energy can be transformed. Energy can be in different forms: kinetic and potential energy. 

Mass transfer happens when, for example, a deer eats grass. The grass contains mass and energy from the soil that gives it nutrients. When the deer gets eaten by a lion, the mass and energy transfers to them, as well. The cycle continues in the ecosystem.

What is Archimedes principle?​
trasher [3.6K]

Archimedes' principle states that a body immersed in a fluid is subjected to an upwards force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. This is a first condition of equilibrium. We consider that the above force, called force of buoyancy, is located in the centre of the submerged hull that we call centre of buoyancy.

A jet plane flying 600 m/s experiences an acceleration of 4g when pulling out of the dive. What is the radius of curvature of th
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

91.84 m/s²

Explanation:

velocity, v = 600 m/s

acceleration, a = 4 g = 4 x 9.8 = 39.2 m/s^2

Let the radius of the loop is r.

he experiences a centripetal force.

centripetal acceleration,

a = v² / r

39.2 x r = 600 x 600

r = 3600 / 39.2

r = 91.84 m/s²

Thus, the radius of the loop is 91.84 m/s².
