Answer:
Object will float.
Explanation:
Total force on the body = Weight of body + Buoyancy force on body.
Weight of body = 15 N downwards = 15 N
Buoyancy force on body = 17 N upwards = -17 N
Total force on body = 15 - 17 = -2 N = 2 N upwards
So, the body will float.
Object will float.
Answer : The correct option is, (b) Thermometer B, because it measures temperature more accurately than A.
Explanation :
Accuracy : It is defined as the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.
For Example: If the mass of a substance is 50 kg and one person weighed 48 kg and another person weighed 55 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.
Precision : It is defined as the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.
For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 1.8 kg each time. Then the measurement is said to be precise.
Level of precision is determined by the maximum number of decimal places.
As per question, the thermometer B has markings 40°, 45° and 50° at equal intervals and there are four small markings equally spaced in between the numbers and thermometer B has markings 40°, 45° and 50° at equal intervals but there is no small markings equally spaced in between the numbers. That means, thermometer B is measures temperature more accurately than thermometer A.
Hence, correct option is, (b) Thermometer B, because it measures temperature more accurately than A.
This is the same question that I just answered.
Have present the definition of acceleration:
a = Δv / Δt, this is change in velocity per unit of time.
a and v are in bold to mean that they are vectors.
1) a body traveling in a straight line and increasing in speed: CORRECT:
Acceleration is the change in velocity, either magnitude or direction or both. So, a body increasing in speed is accelerated.
2) a body traveling in a straight line and decreasing in speed: CORRECT
A decrease in speed is a change in velocity, so it means acceleration.
3) a body traveling in a straight line at constant speed: FALSE.
That body is not changing either direction or speed so its motion is not accelerated but uniform.
4) a body standing still : FALSE.
That body is not changind either direction or speed.
5) a body traveling at a constant speed and changing direction: CORRECT.
The change in direction means that the body is accelerated. The acceleration due to change in direction is named centripetal acceleration.
