When a boat is placed in liquid, two forces act on the boat. Gravity pulls the boat down with a force equal to the weight of the boat. Weight is measured in newtons (N). To calculate the weight of a boat, multiply its mass in grams by 0.00982. As the boat sinks into the liquid, the liquid pushes back. The force of the liquid pushing up on the boat is called the buoyant force.

Required:
How do gravity and the buoyant force affect a boat?

Why do scientists believe that light is made of streams of particles? scientists believe that light is made of streams of particles because only the presence of photons can explain phenomena observed during experiments on the photoelectric effect. these observations include only some frequencies of light causing the ejection of electrons, no time gap existing between light striking a metal and electrons being ejected, and intensity having no effect on the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons.

An ice-making machine inside a refrigerator operates in a carnot cycle. it takes heat from liquid water at 0.0 degrees celsius and rejects heat to a room at a temperature of 19.2 degrees celsius. suppose that liquid water with a mass of 76.3kg at 0.0 degrees celsius is converted to ice at the same temperature. take the heat of fusion for water to be l_f = 3.34*10^5 j/kg. how much energy e must be supplied to the device? express your answer in joules.
