Explain how differences in fluid pressure create buoyant force on an object.

1 answer:

5 0

Buoyancy is the upward force on an object produced by the surrounding fluid (could be a liquid or a gas) in which it is fully or partially immersed, due to the pressure difference of the fluid between the top and bottom of the object. The net upward buoyancy force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of fluid displaced by the body. This force enables the object to float or at least to seem lighter.

Velocity is define as how fast an object is moving, and in what direction, it is a vector quantity, meaning velocity has both magnitude and direction. Anything goes to the left is negative, and anything goes to the right is positive.

a. Direction from east to west, given distance 11.5 meters, and time of 7.10 s

V = displacement/time V = -11.5/7.10 S V = -1.62 m/s (going left)

b. Joaquin reaches his original position. Displacement is now zero.

Velocity of the lawnmower is equal to "zero" but if we calculate for the average speed of the lawn, you just have to add the distance covered and the time it take to go back at the original position or point of origin

Irina-Kira [14]

We simply asked to name three uses for mercury.
The most common and well-known use of mercury is the production of thermometers. It's property to stay liquid at room temperature makes it ideal for a temperature indicator. However, the use of mercury is thermometers has been phased out due to health hazards.
It is also used to form an amalgam which is the result of its combination with silver or gold. Mercury has been used to mine gold and silver. This application has also been phased out.
Today's use of mercury includes mercury-vapor lamps which are the bright lamps used in high-ways.

The magnetic field at 8 cm distance from a long straight wire, carrying is 0.2x10^-5 T. How much is the electric current in the

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The electric current in the wire is 0.8 A

Explanation:

We solve this problem by applying the formula of the magnetic field generated at a distance by a long and straight conductor wire that carries electric current, as follows:

$B=\frac{2\pi*a }{u*I}$
