Answer:

0.87

Explanation:

To solve this, we use the principle of Archimedes. Archimedes Principal of flotation states that "the buoyant force of an object is equal to the total weight of the fluid it displaces."

In the attachment, I stated the mathemacal formula, of which

F(B) = The buoyant force

w(fl) = The weight of the salt water displaced

p(iron) = density of iron

p(salt) = density of the salt water = 1025 kg/m³

F' = weight of the iron in air

F = weight of the iron in salt water

p(man) = density of man = 7680 kg/m³

The rest are the easy calculations done by substituting the values

I suspect you have a minor error in your question. Claiming a coefficient of static friction of 0.30N is nonsensical. Putting the Newton there is incorrect. The figure of 0.25 for the coefficient of kinetic friction looks OK. So with that correction in mind, let's solve the problem. The coefficient of static friction is the multiplier to apply to the normal force in order to start the object moving. And the coefficient of kinetic friction (which is usually smaller than the coefficient of static friction) is the multiplied to the normal force in order to keep the object moving. You've been given a normal force of 2N, so you need to multiply the coefficient of static friction by that in order to get the amount of force it takes to start the shoe moving. So: 0.30 * 2N = 0.6N And if you look at your options, you'll see that option "B" matches exactly.</span>

Which statement accurately represents the arrangement of electrons in Bohr’s atomic model?

noname [10]

Answer: Electrons move around the nucleus in fixed orbits of equal levels of energy

Explanation:

The statement that accurately represents the arrangement of electrons in Bohr’s atomic model is that the electrons move around the nucleus in fixed orbits of equal levels of energy.

It should be noted that the electrons have a fixed energy level when they travel around the nucleus in with energies which varies for different levels.

Higher energy levels are depicted by the orbits that are far from the nucleus. There's emission of light when the electrons then return back to a lower energy level.

elena-s [515]

First of all, we need to convert the angular speed from rev/min into rev/s:

$\omega_f=300 rev/min=5 rev/s$

The angular acceleration is the variation of angular speed divided by the time:

$\alpha=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}=\frac{5 rev/s-0}{2 s}=2.5 rev/s^2$

And this is constant, so we can use the following equation to calculate the angle through which the engine has rotated:

$\theta(t)=\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2 =\frac{1}{2}(2.5 rev/s^2)(2 s)^2=5 rev$

so, 5 revolutions.

ahrayia [7]

The product label which Mateo should place in the marked cell is that it: B. provides electrical energy.

<h3>What is a product label?</h3>

A product label can be defined as a paper-document with specific information about the chemical elements, nutrients, and other chemical compounds that are present in a product and its general use or function.

In this scenario, the product label which Mateo should place in the marked cell shown in the image attached below is that, this product was designed and developed to provide electrical energy, based on the electrical symbol for battery.
