Answer:
Upthrust = 20 N
Explanation:
The question says that "A body weighs 100N in air and 80N when submerged in water. Calculate the upthrust acting on the body
?"
Upthrust is defined as the force when a body is submerged in liquid, then liquid applies a force on it.
ATQ,
Weight of body in air is 100 N
Weight of body in water is 80 N
Upthrust is equal to the weight of body in air minus weight of body in water.
Upthrust = 100 N - 80 N
Upthrust = 20 N
So, 20 N of upthrust is acting on the body.
Answer:
40m
Explanation:
let's calculate the acceleration first
force = mass × acceleration
rearranging to find acceleration:
acceleration = force ÷ mass
force = 25N, mass = 5.0kg
acceleration = 25 ÷ 5 = 5ms^-2
we can now use the formula v^2 = u^2 + 2as where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration and s = distance
rearranging v^2 = u^2 + 2as the distance is
s = (v^2 - u^2) ÷ 2a
v = 20, u = 0, a = 5
s = (20^2 - 0^2) ÷ (2 × 5) = 40m
the distance is 40m
