Define upthrust simply (don't copy)​

Physics
1 answer:
EleoNora [17]2 years ago
3 0

Upthrust is the force that is pushing you up. Kinda to stop you from sinking right into the Earth. Upthrust is simply any force that is causing something to be pushed upwards. Kinda like the opposite of gravity, which is pulling you down =]

Hope this helps ❤️

5. Forces have
Verdich [7]

5)

In physics, forces are interactions that are able to change the velocity of an object.

Force is a vector quantity, so it has a magnitude and a direction.

The SI units of the force is the Newton (N).

Whenever an unbalanced force is applied to an object, the object experiences an acceleration, according to Newton's second law of motion:

F=ma

where

F is the force

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

So, the acceleration of an object is proportional to the force applied:

a=\frac{F}{m}

6)

In physics, arrows are used to represent vector quantities. Therefore, they are also used to represent forces.

In particular, when a vector quantity is represented by an arrowr:

- The length of the arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the vector quantity

- The direction of the arrow corresponds to the direction of the vector quantity

Therefore, if a force is represented through an arrow:

- The length of the arrow shows the strength (magnitude) of the force

- The direction of the arrow shows the direction of the force

7)

As we said in part 5), the SI units of the force is the Newton (N).

We can rewrite the Newton in terms of fundamental units only. We can do it starting from the equation:

F=ma

where

F is the force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

- The mass is measured in kilograms (kg)

- The acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2)

Therefore, 1 N corresponds to:

[N]=[kg][\frac{m}{s^2}]=[kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-2}]

B)

Gravity is an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass. See more explanations about gravity in part 4).

3)

Mass is a scalar quantity; it gives us a measure of the "amount of matter" contained in an object.

The SI unit of the mass is the kilogram (kg).

Being a scalar, mass has no direction, but only a magnitude.

Moreover, the mass is an intrinsec property of an object: therefore, it does not depend on the location of the object. So, an object has always the same mass, either it is on Earth or on another planet.

On the other hand, the force of gravity on an object depends on its location, so it changes.

4)

As we said in part 3), gravity is an attractive force that exists between all objects that  have mass.

The magnitude of the force of gravity between two objects is given by the Universal Law of gravitation:

F=\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

From the equation above, we observe that:

- all objects are attracted to one  another with a gravitational force that is proportional to the mass of the objects  and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

And so:

a. When the mass of one or both objects increases, the gravitational force between  the objects increases

b. When the distance between two objects increases, the attraction between the  objects decreases

Where do scientists believe the missing carbon is going? Why are they not sure?
White raven [17]

Answer:  Scientists believe the missing carbon has found a sink in the Northern Forest. Scientist have come up with this idea because they believe consequences of global warming contributed to significant extent to the northern forest carbon sinking processes. In addition to that, scientists describe a process where the oceans of the world sink carbon to create a balance of the ecosystem. That is why they are not 100% sure.
