Answer:

a. Weight of Object in Water = 20 N

b. Up thrust = 20 N

c. Weight of Water Displaced = 20 N

Explanation:

a.

The weight of the object remains same in the water as well. Because, the same force of gravity is acting there as well. Hence,

<u>Weight of Object in Water = 20 N</u>

<u></u>

b.

Since, the object floats on the water. Therefore, according to Archimedes' principle the up thrust force acting on the object must be equal to the weight of object:

Up thrust = Weight of object

<u>Up thrust = 20 N</u>

<u></u>

c.

From Archimedes' Principle, we know that the up thrust or the Buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object. therefore:

Weight of Water Displaced = Up thrust

<u>Weight of Water Displaced = 20 N</u>

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

v = 14.35 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that crate is placed on rough bed

so here when pickup will take a turn around a circle then in that case the friction force on the crate will provide the necessary centripetal force on the crate

So here we have

\mu mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}

here we have

\mu g = \frac{v^2}{R}

now we know that

v = \sqrt{\mu Rg}

here we have

\mu = 0.600

R = 35 m

g = 9.81 m/s/s

now plug in all values in above equation

v = \sqrt{(0.600)(35)(9.81)}

v = 14.35 m/s

grigory [225]

Answer:

1. Rovers- These are vehicles which are designed to move on the surface on any celestial body and collect samples, data and images. Sometimes, these can be used to transport mission crew members.

2. Orbiters- These are spacecrafts designed to orbit any celestial body and collect data in form of images.

3. satellites- artificial satellites are placed in the orbit of celestial bodies for various purposes. There are various types of satellites like communication satellite, weather satellites, space telescopes. These collect images and data inform of signals.

4. space stations: It is a satellite where research and experiments take place. Images are also collected for research purpose.

Space shuttle is a wrong option because it is just a vehicle to transport these satellites and probes into the space and place in the orbit or surface of celestial body.
