Why is it important that your finger be wet if you intend to touch it briefly to a hot clothes iron to test its temperature. If your finger is wet, some of the heat transmitted to your finger will be given to the water which has a high specific heat capacity and also a larger latent heat of vaporization.

A floating boat has a weight of 100 N. What is the buoyant force on the boat?

lara31 [8.8K]

If the boat is floating, then it's just sitting there, and not accelerating
up or down. That means the vertical forces on it must be balanced.

So if its weight (acting downward) is 100 newtons, then the buoyant
force on it (acting upward) must also be 100 newtons.

Two particles A and B start simultaneously from a Point P with velocities 20 m/s and 30 m/s respectively. A and B move with acce

zysi [14]

Answer:

20 m/s

Explanation:

Given

u(A) = 20 m/s
u(B) = 30 m/s
acceleration equal in magnitude but opposite in direction

Solving

Velocity of A at Q = 30 m/s
From, P to Q, Δv(A) = 30 - 20 = +10 m/s
Therefore, velocity of B at Q will be decreased by 10 as it is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to A
Δv(B) = v(B at Q) - u(B at P)
-10 m/s = v(B at Q) - 30 m/s
v(B at Q) = 30 - 10 = 20 m/s
