<u>Answer:</u>
<em>A water strider can walk along the surface of earth due to the surface tension of water.
</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Fluids have a <em>tendency to shrink to minimum possible surface area</em> and this is called surface tension. It usually occurs due to the greater force of cohesion between molecules of same substance when compared to adhesive force between molecules of different substances. Objects with greater densities can float along water surface due to the <em>role played by surface tension.
</em>
When insects walk along the water surface they are pulled down due to gravity. But the force of attraction between the legs of the insect and water molecules is minimal. Thus the surface tension would always tend to maintain the <em>flatness of water overcoming</em> the push by the legs of the strider.
When the insect’s weight pulls it down , the surface tension pushes it upwards overcoming this force of gravity. This is how<em> water striders move along the surface of water. </em>
Answer:
potential energy. noun. the energy of a body or system as a result of its position in an electric, magnetic, or gravitational field. It is measured in joules (SI units), electronvolts, ergs, etcSymbol: E p, V, U, φ Abbreviation: PE.
Explanation:
Answer:
2.77 * 10^5 m/s
Explanation:
Let us recall that kinetic energy is given by 1/2 mv^2
Where;
m = mass of the body
v = velocity of the body
In this case,
m = 3.38 * 10^31 kg
KE= 1.30 * 10^42 J
KE = 1/2 mv^2
v = √2KE/m
v = √2 * 1.30 * 10^42/3.38 * 10^31
v = √7.69 * 10^10
v = 2.77 * 10^5 m/s
When an object turns around an internal axis (like the Earth turns around its axis) it is called a rotation. When an object circles an external axis (like the Earth circles the sun) it is called a revolution.
