<u>Answer:</u>
<em>A water strider can walk along the surface of earth due to the surface tension of water.
</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Fluids have a <em>tendency to shrink to minimum possible surface area</em> and this is called surface tension. It usually occurs due to the greater force of cohesion between molecules of same substance when compared to adhesive force between molecules of different substances. Objects with greater densities can float along water surface due to the <em>role played by surface tension.
</em>
When insects walk along the water surface they are pulled down due to gravity. But the force of attraction between the legs of the insect and water molecules is minimal. Thus the surface tension would always tend to maintain the <em>flatness of water overcoming</em> the push by the legs of the strider.
When the insect’s weight pulls it down , the surface tension pushes it upwards overcoming this force of gravity. This is how<em> water striders move along the surface of water. </em>
Answer:
I.D.K but the same measure they use to judge will be used to judge them
Explanation:
Answer:
An object's acceleration is the rate its velocity (speed and direction) changes. Therefore, an object can accelerate even if its speed is constant - if its direction changes.
Explanation:
Answer:
in the direction of the applied force
Explanation:
Answer:
(a) 42 N
(b)36.7 N
Explanation:
Nomenclature
F= force test line (N)
W : fish weight (N)
Problem development
(a) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled in at constant speed
We apply Newton's first law of equlibrio because the system moves at constant speed:
∑Fy =0
F-W= 0
42N -W =0
W = 42N
(b) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled with an acceleration whose magnitude is 1.41 m/s²
We apply Newton's second law because the system moves at constant acceleration:
m= W/g , m= W/9.8 , m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity
∑Fy =m*a
m= W/g , m= W/9.8 , m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity
F-W= ( W/9.8 )*a
42-W= ( W/9.8 )*1.41
42= W+0.1439W
42=1.1439W
W= 42/1.1439
W= 36.7 N
