Answer:

Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.

Could someone please explain to me Archimede's principle without using the term displace (or at least explaining what it means)?
disa [49]
Does this help?

When an object is immersed in a fluid (in this case water, but may include both liquids and gases) the fluid exerts an upward force on the object which is called buoyancy force or <span>up-thrust.  Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force (upward push or force) applied to an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object takes the space of by that object.  Thus when an object is placed in water the rise in the water level is dictated by the mass of that object.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>So for example if you fill a bucket with water and you drop a stone in that bucket, if you measure the weight of the water that overflows from the bucket due to the stone being dropped into the bucket is equivalent to the pushing force that the water has on the stone (as the stone drops to the bottom of the bucket the water is pushing it to stay afloat but the rock is more dense than water and as such its downthrust exceeds water's upthrust).</span>

If the velocity of a proton is straight up (thumb pointing up) then RHR2 shows that the force points to the left. What would the
diamong [38]

Answer:

a) to the right

b) up

c) down

d) there will be no force on the proton

e) there will be no force on the proton

Explanation:

The complete question is

If the velocity of a proton is straight up(thumb pointing up) then RHR2 (right hand rule) shows that the force points to the left. What would the direction of the force be if the velocity were a)down, b)to the right, c)to the left, d)into the page, and e)out of the page?

The right hand rule for a positive charge states that...

Hold the thumb of the right hand at right angle to the rest of the fingers, and the rest of the fingers parallel to one another, and pointing away from the body. If the thumb shows the velocity of a positive charge in a magnetic field, and the fingers all point in the direction of the magnetic field, then the palm will push in the direction of the force on the positive charge (proton).

From this, we can deduce from the original statement about this proton that the direction of the field is into the screen of this computer. with that field direction held constant, we can work out that

a) if the thumb point down, the force will be to the right

b) if the thumb points to the right, the force will be upwards

c)  if the thumb points to the left, the force is downwards

d)  if the thumb points into the page, then there will be no force on the proton since the proton must travel perpendicularly to the magnetic field for a force to be induced on it

e) explanation is the same as foe option d.

If the car went 30 km west in 25 min. and then 40 km south in 35 min., what would be its average speed?
Alika [10]
The total distance is 70km.
The total time is 60 minutes or 1 hour.
Speed=Distance÷Time
=70÷1
=70km/h

When the cart moves on an incline at constant speed, it is in equilibrium; i.e., the net force on it is zero. Does it require mo
Amanda [17]

Answer:

It requires more tension to pull up the track

Explanation:

Net force must be zero to maintain constant velocity.

Weight force will always be pointed down the slope. Call it W

Friction force (Call it Ff) will be down slope when movement is up slope.

Friction force will be up slope when movement is down slope.

W and Ff are always positive numbers

Call the pulling force T

If Up slope is considered the positive direction

Moving up slope

Tu - Ff - W = 0

Tu = Ff + W

Moving down slope

Td + W - Ff = 0

Td = Ff - W

Ff + W > Ff - W therefore Tu > Td
