Gravity pulls to the centre of the earth. A ship floats in water because the water pushing it up (upthrust) is equal to the force<span> of gravity (weight) pulling it </span>down<span>. Friction also occurs when objects move through air. This is </span>called<span>air resistance.</span>
Answer: D
<u></u>
X: positive
Y: negative
Explanation:
It's either A or D and I chose A and got it wrong.
Answer:
E = 3.8 kJ
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of the object, m = 10 g = 0.01 kg
The heat of fusion of aluminum is 380 kJ/kg
We need to find the energy required to melt the mass of the aluminium. It can be calculated as follows:
E = mL
So,
E = 0.01 × 380
E = 3.8 kJ
So, the energy required to melt the mass is equal 3.8 kJ.
Answer:
Bouyancy
Explanation:
Bouyancy occurs when the upthrust exerted on an object is equal to the weight of object displaced. It is mostly applicable to low density objects for example balloon. When balloon is displaced in water, it floats. This is due to the effect of the upthrust acting on the balloon which allows the balloon to float and which is opposite the weight.
Note that the weight acts downwards the object while the upthrust always acts opposite (upward)
An airplane has a large amount of kinetic energy in flight due to its large mass and fast velocity.
