According to Archimedes' principle, when an object is placed in a fluid, the buoyant force acting on it is equal to the weight o

But the Archimedes principle states that the buoyant force is the weight of the fluid displaced. So, for a floating object on a liquid, the weight of the displaced liquid is the weight of the object. Thus, only in the special case of floating does the buoyant force acting on an object equal the object's weight

Which of these surface features are formed because of the heating of groundwater?
Tju [1.3M]
The correct option is C.
Hot springs and geysers are formed as a result of been heated up by heat from the interior of the earth. This type of heat is called geothermal heat. A hot spring refers to a spring that is produced as a result of geothermally heated water. Hot springs usually have very high temperature. Geysers is a form of hot spring and it refers to a pool of water that has seeped through a opening in the earth surface.

A baseball player hits a homerun, and the ball lands in the left field seats, which is 103m away from the point at which the bal
Sati [7]

(a) The ball has a final velocity vector

\mathbf v_f=v_{x,f}\,\mathbf i+v_{y,f}\,\mathbf j

with horizontal and vertical components, respectively,

v_{x,f}=\left(20.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos(-38^\circ)\approx16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

v_{y,f}=\left(20.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin(-38^\circ)\approx-12.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

The horizontal component of the ball's velocity is constant throughout its trajectory, so v_{x,i}=v_{x,f}, and the horizontal distance <em>x</em> that it covers after time <em>t</em> is

x=v_{x,i}t=v_{x,f}t

It lands 103 m away from where it's hit, so we can determine the time it it spends in the air:

103\,\mathrm m=\left(16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t\implies t\approx6.38\,\mathrm s

The vertical component of the ball's velocity at time <em>t</em> is

v_{y,f}=v_{y,i}-gt

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Solve for the vertical component of the initial velocity:

-12.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}=v_{y,i}-\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)\implies v_{y,i}\approx49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

So, the initial velocity vector is

\mathbf v_i=v_{x,i}\,\mathbf i+v_{y,i}\,\mathbf j=\left(16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf j

which carries an initial speed of

\|\mathbf v_i\|=\sqrt{{v_{x,i}}^2+{v_{y,i}}^2}\approx\boxed{52.4\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}

and direction <em>θ</em> such that

\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{y,i}}{v_{x,i}}\implies\theta\approx\boxed{72.0^\circ}

(b) I assume you're supposed to find the height of the ball when it lands in the seats. The ball's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is

y=v_{y,i}t-\dfrac12gt^2

so that when it lands in the seats at <em>t</em> ≈ 6.38 s, it has a height of

y=\left(49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)^2\approx\boxed{119\,\mathrm m}

denpristay [2]
Let:
Vx = the pulling component of force
Vy = the lifting component of force

Vy:
Sin(n°) = Vy/hypotenuse
hypotenuse * Sin(n°) = Vy
100N*sin(30°) = Vy
50N = Vy

Vx:
Cos(n°) = Vx/hypotenuse
Hypotenuse * cos(n°) = Vx
100N*cos(30°) =Vx
about 86.6N = Vx

What is the purpose of a reference point?
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: <u>To establish a point from which to measure a future distance, or if movement has occurred.</u>

Explanation:

A reference point is a point with respect to which one comes to know whether any movement has occurred or not. A still point is required. When the object changes distance from that point, it means that object has moved. The distance can be calculated from one point to another.

Therefore, A reference point is used to establish a point from which future distance or if movement has occurred is detected.
