Answer: hey here's your answer...

Explanation: We can think of a force as a push on a surface, such as the force due to gravity you exert when standing on a bathroom scale. Pressure involves the distribution of force. The scale measures force, not pressure, so your weight reading is the same no matter how you distribute your weight on the scale.

Hope this helps...

Have a nice day-

A dripping water faucet steadily releases drops 1.0 s apart. As these drops fall, does the distance between them increase, decre

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Distance between them increase

Explanation:

The position S of the water droplet can be determined using equation of motion

$S=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$

where $u$ is the initial velocity which is zero here

$t$ is time taken, $a$ is acceleration due to gravity

the position of first drop after time $t$ is given by

$S_{1} =0 \times t+ \frac{1}{2} at^2=\frac{1}{2} at^2............(1)$

the position of next drop at same time is

$S_{2} =\frac{1}{2} a(t-1)^2 = \frac{1}{2} a(t^2+1-2t)............(2)$

distance between them is $S_{1} -S_{2}$ is $a(t-1)$

from the above the difference will increase with the time

Which law of thermodynamics would be violated if heat were to spontaneously flow between two objects of equal temperature?

maks197457 [2]

<span>Actually the second law of thermodynamics would truly gets violated ie, which means that the entrophy changes of the isolated system can never be negative, which covers the above that if heat were to spontaneously flow between any two objects of equal temperature would be fully violated.</span>
