Answer:

If an object pushes out an amount of water equal to its own weight, the upward force acting on it will be equal to gravity - and the object will float.

Explanation:

The buoyant force has an impact on the object in the water and equals the weight of the water displaced by the object. Every object placed in water has some buoyancy force that pushes it against the gravitational force, and this means that any object loses weight in the water.

An electron enters a region between two large parallel plates made of aluminum separated by a distance of 2.0 cm and kept at a p

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

a) $v=1.77\times 10^6\ m/s$

b) $v=3.872\times 10^6\ m/s$

c) $v=5.5\times 10^6\ m/s$

d) $v=6.7\times 10^6\ m/s$

e) $v=7.7\times 10^6\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that

d = 2 cm

V = 200 V

$u=4\times 10^5\ m/s$

We know that

F = E q

F = m a

E = V/d

m a = q .V/d b

$a=\dfrac{q.V}{m.d}$ ---------1

The mass of electron

$m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

The charge on electron

$q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Now by putting the all values in equation 1

$a=\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 200}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 0.02}\ m/s^2$

$a=1.5\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$

We know that

$v^2=u^2+2as$

s = 0.1 cm

$v^2=(4\times 10^5)^2+2\times 1.5\times 10^{15}\times 0.1\times 10^{-2}$

$v=\sqrt{3.16\times 10^{12}}\ m/s$

$v=1.77\times 10^6\ m/s$

s = 0.5 cm

$v^2=(4\times 10^5)^2+2\times 1.5\times 10^{15}\times 0.5\times 10^{-2}$

$v=\sqrt{1.5\times 10^{13}}\ m/s$

$v=3.872\times 10^6\ m/s$

s = 1 cm

$v^2=(4\times 10^5)^2+2\times 1.5\times 10^{15}\times 1\times 10^{-2}$

$v=\sqrt{3.06\times 10^{13}}\ m/s$

$v=5.5\times 10^6\ m/s$

s = 1.5 cm

$v^2=(4\times 10^5)^2+2\times 1.5\times 10^{15}\times 1.5\times 10^{-2}$

$v=\sqrt{4.5\times 10^{13}}\ m/s$

$v=6.7\times 10^6\ m/s$

s = 2 cm

$v^2=(4\times 10^5)^2+2\times 1.5\times 10^{15}\times 2\times 10^{-2}$

$v=\sqrt{6.06\times 10^{13}}\ m/s$

$v=7.7\times 10^6\ m/s$

What is likely to happen if you don't ventilate your boat after fueling?

weeeeeb [17]

If you don't ventilate your boat after fueling, the gas fumes will stay in the bottom of boat and this is very dangerous.
Explosion can happen if you don't ventilate your boat after fueling so to avoid any explosion or any problem, you have to follow the proper procedure for fueling the boat.
So always ventilate your boat after fueling.

As the shuttle bus comes to a sudden stop to avoid hitting a dog, it accelerates uniformly at -4.1 m/s2 as it slows from 9.0 m/s

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The time interval of acceleration for the bus is 2.20 seconds

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity

→ $a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where a is the acceleration, v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity

and t is the time

The given is:

The uniform acceleration = -4.1 m/s²

The bus slows from 9 m/s to 0 m/s

We need to find the time interval of acceleration for the bus

Lets use the rule above

→ a = -4.1 m/s² , v = 0 m/s , u = 9 m/s

→ $-4.1=\frac{0-9}{t}$

Multiply both sides by t

→ -4.1 t = -9

Divide both sides by -4.1

∴ t = 2.20 seconds

<em>The time interval of acceleration for the bus is 2.20 seconds</em>

An iron nail is made up of particles. What is true about the particles?Why does ice float on water?

Archy [21]

Answer: i know that ice is denser than water because of the reason why ice is expanding:air. ice has tiny air packets inside that make it bigger than the original state(the state which a substance is at at room temperature.

Explanation:

Iron is an element that has been known in its pure form for at least 5,000 years. The name "iron" comes from the...

The element symbol for iron is Fe, which comes from the Latin word for iron, "ferrum."

Iron is one of the most plentiful elements. It comprises about 5.6 percent of the Earth's crust and almost all of its core

Iron is a transition metal.

Animals and plants require iron. Plants use iron in chlorophyll, the pigment used in photosynthesis. Humans use iron in hemoglobin molecules in blood to allow for the transport of oxygen to tissues throughout the body.
