What weight of water is displaced by a 100-ton floating ship? What is the buoyant force that acts on this ship?

1 answer:

3 0

An object that weighs 100 tons and is floating is displacing exactly 100 tons of the fluid, and the buoyant force on it is 100 tons. The vertical forces on it are balanced (add up to zero), and that's why it isn't accelerating up or down.

Photovoltaic cells: a) have become more economical to produce and use over the past 25 years. b) are the most efficient means of

Yanka [14]

Photovoltaic cells are the most efficient means of converting solar energy to electricity. Option b is correct.

A cell is a voltage and current-producing device that consists of a single anode and cathode separated by an electrolyte.

One or more cells can make up a battery. One cell, for example, is one AA battery.

Light intensity on a solar cell is often measured in "suns," with one sun roughly equivalent to 1 kW/m².

Concentrated sunlight improves the ratio of current generated while the device is lighted vs when it is dark, hence enhancing output voltage and efficiency.

Photovoltaic cells are the most efficient means of converting solar energy to electricity.

Hence, option b is correct.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Friction is a force that opposes motion. One or two of the advantages of friction are break and ability of an object to walk.

Writing yes it is useful because when your writing because friction helps you see what your writing

ii. Rubbing. Yes, it is useful.

friction make it possible for two object to rub each other

iii. Skiing. No. It is not useful because With presence of friction, skiing will not be possible.

iv. Rotating a wheel No. It is not useful because Friction will oppose the rotation of the wheel.

Jennifer, who has a mass of 50.0 kg, is riding at 35.0 m/s in her red sports car when she must suddenly slam on the brakes to av

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Average force = 3.5 kN

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Jennifer (m) = 50 kg

Initial velocity = 35 m/s

Time taken to stop body = 0.5 s

Find:

Average force

Computation:

v = u + at

0 = 35 + a(0.5)

Acceleration (a) = - 70 m/s² = 70 m/s²

Average force = ma

Average force = (50(70)

Average force = 3500 N

Average force = 3.5 kN

Which undergoes greater acceleration: an airplane that goes from 1000 km/h to 1005 km/h in 10 seconds or a skateboard that

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Skateboard

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocity over time.

a = Δv / Δt

The airplane's acceleration is:

a = (1005 km/h − 1000 km/h) / 10 s

a = 0.5 km/h/s

The skateboard's acceleration is:

a = (5 km/h − 0 km/h) / 1 s

a = 5 km/h/s
