Answer: One is when a bike stops. The other is when you rub your hands together to get warm.

Explanation: Force and friction affect our daily lives in numerous amounts of ways. For instance, when a football is kicked, it moves faster later after some time its force decreases due to friction. A common example of friciton is when a bike stops. When the brakes are applied the friction on the pads cause the bike to stop. The other is because you are getting warm with friction.

The unit of force, Newton is a derived unit. (give reasons)

vitfil [10]

Answer:

$\boxed{ \sf{see \: below}}$

Explanation

The unit of force, Newton is a derived unit because it depends on three fundamental units. i.e kilogram , meter and second.

According to Archimedes’ principle, the mass of a floating object equals the mass of the fluid displaced by the object. Use this

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Part a)

$\rho = 0.55 g/cm^3$

Part b)

$\rho_L = 1.49 g/cm^3$

Part c)

Since we know that the base area will remain same always

so here the length and width of the object is not necessary to obtain the above data in such type of questions

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that when cylinder float in the water then weight of the cylinder is counter balanced by the buoyancy force

So here we know

buoyancy force is given as

$F_b = \rho_w V_{sub} g$

$F_b = (1 g/cm^3) (30 - 13.5) Ag$

$F_b = 16.5 Ag$

Now we know that the weight of the cylinder is given as

$W = \rho (30 cm)A g$

now we have

$\rho (30 cm) A g = 16.5 A g$

$\rho = 0.55 g/cm^3$

Part b)

When the same cylinder is floating in other liquid then we will have

$F_b = \rho_L (30 - 18.9 )A g$

so we have

$\rho_L (11.1) Ag = 0.55(30) Ag$

$\rho_L = 1.49 g/cm^3$

Part c)

Since we know that the base area will remain same always

so here the length and width of the object is not necessary to obtain the above data in such type of questions

Directions: WRITE a summary of the Newton’s Laws of Motion reading.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

In Newton's 1st Law, a stationary body or that moving with a uniform motion, will only change its state if acted upon by other external forces.This restance to change in position/motion is called inertia. In his second law, when a body is acted upon by a force, the force will be equal to the product of mass and acceleration of the body.i.e. Force= m.a. In the third law, it explains that a body will exert an equal and opposite force when intracting with another body.Here, every action force experiences an equal and opposite reaction force, where the momentum of the bodies will be conserved.

How does light determine whether it acts as a particle or a wave?

pishuonlain [190]

Great question. Albert Einstein proved that light acts as both a particle and a wave in his 1905 paper. This is called wave-particle duality.
With quantum mechanics, it is easy to prove that light behaves as both a particle and a wave.
When UV light hits a metal surface, it causes an emission of electrons. This "photoelectric effect" proves how light behaves.
