At a fixed depth within a fluid at rest, the pressure pushing upward is

Physics
1 answer:
earnstyle [38]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: E) A) salt water.

Explanation:

E) In equilibrium, pressure exerts equally in all directions, so for a given depth, the pressure is the same for all points located at the same depth, and it can be written as follows:

p = p₀ + ρ.g.h, where p₀ = atmospheric pressure, ρ=fluid density, h=depth from the surface.

A) The buoyant force, as discovered by Archimedes, is an upward force, that opposes to the weight of an object (as it is always downward), and is equal to the weight of the volume of the liquid that the object removes, which means that is proportional to the density of the liquid.

As salt water is denser than fresh water, the buoyant force exerted by the salt water is always greater than the one produced by the fresh water, so objects will float more easily in salt water than in fresh water.

In the limit, it is possible that one object float in salt water and sink in fresh water.

a crate is being lifted into a truck. if it is moved with a 2470n force and 3650 j of work is done , then how far is the crate b
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The crate was being lifted by a height of 1.48 meters.

Explanation:

In an attempt o move a crate;

Force applied = 2470 N

Work done by the force = 3650 J

We know that the work done is defined as the force used to move an object to a distance.

Given the Force used and the work done by that Force, we need to find out the distance the crate was lifted to.

Work done is defined as:

Work = Force*distance covered in the direction of the force

3650 = 2470*distance

distance = 3650/2470

distance = 1.48 meters

A bus took 8 hours to travel 639 km. For the first 5 hours, it
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

93 km/h

Explanation:

Given that a bus took 8 hours to travel 639 km. For the first 5 hours, it travelled at an average speed of 72 km/h

Let the first 5 hours journey distance = F

From the formula of speed,

Speed = distance/time

Substitute speed and time

72 = F/5

F = 72 × 5 = 360 km

The remaining distance will be:

639 - 360 = 279km

The remaining time will be:

8 - 5 = 3 hours

Speed = 279/3

Speed = 93 km/h

Therefore, the average speed for the remaining time of the journey is equal to 93 km/h

hodyreva [135]
A).  Convection is heating the soup in the pot.
When you stick the spoon into the hot soup,
conduction heats the spoon all the way up to the end.

b).  Water conducts heat a little bit. 
But convection is much more responsible for the
uniform distribution of temperature in the kiddie pool.

c).  The heat from the metal bench conducts directly
to the buttus epidermis when you sit on it.

d).  You feel the heat on your face ... but not on the back of your
neck ... on account of radiation from the fire and the hot grill.

Where in our daily lives do we encounter "background" radiation​
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Explanation:Naturally occurring radioactive materials are present in its crust, the floors and walls of our homes, schools, or offices and in the food we eat and drink. There are radioactive gases in the air we breathe. Our own bodies - muscles, bones, and tissue - contain naturally occurring radioactive elements.
