Answer: below

Explanation: 1kg of steel is slightly heavier than 1 kg of feathers. 1 kg of feather will displace more air as the density of feather is very less comparitively. More the volume displaced more is the upthrust and less the apparent weight.

1. Describe the three Newton's Law of Motion.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

1st law--Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is normally taken as the definition of inertia. The key point here is that if there is no net forceacting on an object (if all the external forces cancel each other out) then the object will maintain a constant velocity. If that velocity is zero, then the object remains at rest. If an external force is applied, the velocity will change because of the force.

2nd— The second law explains how the velocity of an object changes when it is subjected to an external force. The law defines a force to be equal to change in momentum(mass times velocity) per change in time. Newton also developed the calculus of mathematics, and the "changes" expressed in the second law are most accurately defined in differential forms. (Calculus can also be used to determine the velocity and location variations experienced by an object subjected to an external force.) For an object with a constant mass m, the second law states that the force F is the product of an object's mass and its acceleration a:

F = m * a

For an external applied force, the change in velocity depends on the mass of the object. A force will cause a change in velocity; and likewise, a change in velocity will generate a force. The equation works both ways.

3rd law-- The third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, if object A exerts a force on object B, then object B also exerts an equal force on object A. Notice that the forces are exerted on different objects. The third law can be used to explain the generation of lift by a wing and the production of thrust by a jet engine.

Rasek [7]

Answer: True

Explanation:

A photo detector that can respond to the entire rang of visible light can be design, it is true.

Photo detector is a device in an optical receiver which receives optical signals and convert it to electric signal. It is the key device position in front of the optical receiver.

azamat

Answer: Trough can lift the 403,342 ton pioneering spirit crane vessel 10 meters in 30 seconds as if it was a cork. This about 36 GJ if work and 1 GW of power.

Explanation:

Why trough?

Trough is the correct answer because pioneering scale usually abide only on trough not on the other given options. A long , narrow depression between the waves or ridges is known as a trough. The lower point in the period is the trough.

Speed -: Speed is the distance per unit of time that a body moves. It's a quantity scaler that has just magnitude.
Wave energy -: The transmission and capture of energy by ocean surface waves is wave energy (or wave power). The energy collected is then used for all sorts of useful work, including the generation of electricity, water desalination, and water pumping.
Crest -: A crest point within a cycle on a wave with the highest value of upward displacement. A crest is a point on a surface wave where the medium's displacement is at its height.
Amplitude -: The maximum displacement or distance measured from its equilibrium position, moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave, is called amplitude. It is equal to half of the vibration path's length.
Period-: The duration T is the time needed to pass a given point for one complete cycle of vibration. The wave length decreases as the frequency of a wave increases.
Wavelength-: The distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave can be described as the wavelength. The frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. This implies that the longer the wavelength, the smaller the frequency. Similarly, the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency would be.
Frequency -: Frequency defines the number of waves in a given amount of time that travel through a fixed location. In the Hertz unit, frequency is normally measured.
Information -: A piece of data is a basic fact about the identity or properties of an object, i.e. a portion of its example.
Milli -: Milli is known as a merged form meaning 'thousand' (millipede) used in the metric system for unit names equal to one thousandth of the base unit (millimeter) given.

Hence , the answer is TROUGH.

what affect does traveling with or against the currents such as the gulf stream have on the time it takes for ships to cross the

vichka [17]

Traveling against currents usually takes longer. Kinda like walking against the wind, you feel the heaviness against your jacket as you push through it. Where when you walking with the wind, it kind of gives your a push. Same for with currents.

What elements are good conductors of electricity?

kramer

In solids: All metals are good conductors of electricity as they contain free moving electrons. Non-metals doesn't conduct , but we consider Graphite the only non-metal that can conduct electricity for the presence of free moving electrons.

In Liquids ; Ionic compunds contains free moving ions , so they conduct electricity as well .
