Answer:

a) "gravitation" is the force causing you to go down a waterslide

b) It is "fluid friction" as a solid object (our body) moves over a fluid (the water)

c) It would become "sliding friction" since two solid surfaces slide over each other

d) fluid friction being the weakest friction, switching to sliding friction means a higher decrease in speed and therefore removing the water from a slide will decrease our speed

You need to determine the density of a ceramic statue. If you suspend it from a spring scale, the scale reads 28.4 NN . If you t

Answer:

2491.23 kg/m³

Explanation:

From Archimedes principle,

R.d = weight of object in air/ upthrust in water = density of the object/density of water

⇒ W/U = D/D' ....................... Equation 1

Where W = weight of the ceramic statue, U = upthrust of the ceramic statue in water, D = density of the ceramic statue, D' = density of water.

Making D the subject of the equation,

D = D'(W/U).................... Equation 2

Given: W = 28.4 N, U = lost in weight = weight in air- weight in water

U = 28.4 - 17.0 = 11.4 N,

Constant: D' = 1000 kg/m³.

Substitute into equation 2,

D = 100(28.4/11.4)

D = 2491.23 kg/m³

Hence the density of the ceramic statue = 2491.23 kg/m³

Why is the spectrum of a star called an absorption spectrum?

ladessa [460]

It is called absorption spectrum because a gas of hydrogen will make a line spectrum and if viewed for another angle it would be between a continuum light and a emission line spectrum

If you know the distance of an earthquake epicenter from three seismic stations, how can you find the exact location of the epic

Contact [7]

You draw 3 circles around the stations with the size of the circle equal to the distance from the earthquake. Then you simply find where the edge circles all overlap.

What is the momentum of a ten ton truck which is sitting still?

ANTONII [103]

The momentum of the truck is given by:

p = mv

p = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity

There isn't too much work to do here; the truck is at rest, therefore its velocity is 0. This means the product of m and v is 0, giving the momentum as 0.
