Answer:

Explanation:

If an object has a higher density than the fluid it is in (fluid can mean liquid or gas), it will sink. If it has a lower density, it will float. Density is determined by an object's mass and volume. If two objects take up the same volume, but have one has more mass, then it also has a higher density.

The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.

If gas particles start colliding with the walls of their metallic container with increased force, what is their direct effect?.

aliya0001 [1]

<span>So we want to know what is the direct effect of the gas particles if the force of their collision with the walls of the container is increased. Pressure, microscopically, is defined as the number of collisions per unit area. If we increase the force of the collision, the pressure increases so that is the direct effect. </span>

Thrust is a reaction force described quantitatively by Newton's third law. When a system expels or accelerates mass in one direction, the accelerated mass will cause a force of equal magnitude but opposite direction on that system. Mathematically can be written as,

$T = v\frac{dm}{dt}$
