When a surface is submerged in a fluid, the resultant pressure force on the body acts in what manner? Assume no shear forces are

present. There are no forces acting on the submerged body. Perpendicular to the surface of the body. In the same direction as the force of gravity.

Answer:

Perpendicular to the surface of the body.

Explanation:

When a surface is submerged in a fluid the resultant pressure force on the body acts perpendicular to the surface of the body. This is because fluids cannot withstand nor exert sideways forces. One could obtain this analytically considering that the origin of this force comes from the movement of the fluid molecules.

choli [55]

Answer:

formed 4.6 billion years ago

orbit the Sun

range in size from a few feet to more than 500 miles across

most are found in the asteroid belt

Explanation:

Asteroids are rocky bodies orbiting the sun. Asteroids are irregular is shape and size. The size varies from few feet to 500 miles across. Majority of the asteroids lie in asteroid belt which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. These are though to be remains of unformed planet about 4.6 billion years ago due to high gravitational pull of Jupiter. The largest asteroid is Ceres which is also a dwarf planet. The mass of the entire asteroid belt is just 4% the  mass of the moon.

a bicycle pump contains 20cm3 of air at a pressure of 100kpa the air is then pumped in a single stroke through a valve into a ty
riadik2000 [5.3K]
If we assume also that the temperature of the air does not change, we can use Boyle's Law:
p₁V₁ = p₂V₂

Now, we know: 
p₁ = 100kPa
V₂ = 100cm³ (the volume of the tyre) 
V₁ = 120cm³ (becuse the air is contained inside the tyre AND the pump)

We can solve for p₂:
p₂ = (p₁V₁)/V₂
    = (100×120)/100
    = 120kPa

Therefore your answer is: 120kPa

Answer:

\lambda_3 = 4.72*10^{-7} m

Explanation:

given data:

wavelength \lambda = 708nm = 708*10^{-9} m

using the following relation:

y = \frac{mL\lambda}{d}

according to the given information

second and third dark fringe is at same location. so

y_2 = y_3

\frac{m_2L\lambda_2}{d} = \frac{m_3L\lambda_3}{d}

m_2\lambda_2 = m_3\lambda_3

2*708*10^{-9} = 3*\lambda_3

\lambda_3 = \frac{2*708*10^{-9}}{3}

\lambda_3 = 4.72*10^{-7} m

A charge Q is distributed uniformly along the x axis from x1 to x2. What would be the magnitude of the electric field at x0 on t
Lena [83]

Answer:

  E =  k Q    1 / (x₀-x₂) (x₀-x₁)

Explanation:

The electric field is given by

              dE = k dq / r²

In this case as we have a continuous load distribution we can use the concept of linear density

              λ= Q / x = dq / dx

              dq = λ dx

We substitute in the equation

           ∫ dE = k ∫ λ dx / x²

We integrate

           E = k λ (-1 / x)

We evaluate between the lower limits x = x₀- x₂ and higher x = x₀-x₁

           E = k λ (-1 / x₀-x₁ + 1 / x₀-x₂)

           E = k λ  (x₂ -x₁) / (x₀-x₂) (x₀-x₁)

We replace the density

             E = k (Q / (x₂-x₁)) [(x₂-x₁) / (x₀-x₂) (x₀-x₁)]

             E =  k Q    1 / (x₀-x₂) (x₀-x₁)
