Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The question is not complete since the liquid density is not given.

Archimedes principle states that a body at rest in a fluid is acted upon by an upward force known as the buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.

An object floats when it is placed in a liquid only if the density of the object is less than the density of the liquid. Therefore those metals with density less than that of mercury would float while those with density greater than mercury would sink.

Roughly to what height would a 5 kg stone need to be raised in order to have the same stored energy as the energy stored in the
hoa [83]

8.16m is the required height, a 5kg stone need to be raised.

One sort of potential energy is gravitational potential energy, which is equal to the product of the object's mass (m), the gravitational acceleration (g), and the object's height (h) as measured in relation to the ground's surface (the body).

We obtain the formula by considering the work done in raising a mass m through a height h.

Work in elevating mass m through height h is equal to force times distance.

The force must be greater than the mass m's weight, hence F = mg.

Work done = mgh = gravitational potential energy

Energy =  Mass of the object × gravitational acceleration × height.

Mass of the stone = 5kg

Equating ;

∴ 400 J = 5 kg × 9.8 m/s² × height

  Height = 8.16 m

Therefore, 8.16m is the required height.

Describe one practical use of a concave mirror.
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Here are some uses...

Explanation:

Uses of convex mirror:

It is used in supermarkets and stores for surveillance.

It it is used as rear view mirror in automobiles.this is due to the reason that a convex mirror provides a wider field of view than a plane or concave mirror.

Uses of concave mirror:

It is used in torches.

They are used in headlights of vehicles to send parallel rays to infinity , in shaving mirror to get an enlarged image of the face and also by dentists to see a bigger image of the tooth / teeth .

Where would the net force acting on a charge placed in a system of like charges be zero?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

If an object is electrically neutral it has no net charge becuase it has the same number of protons as it does electrons, which are opposite charges that offset each other. No, that just means that the sum of all its positive and negative amounts of charge equals zero.
