What are the forces on the plasticine when it is floating?
Gravity and Upward force. If the upward force is greater than the weight caused by gravity than the plasticine will float.
When a body is thrown upwardhow many forces act on it?
when abody is thrown upward,how many forces act on it?what is the role of the force with which the body has been thrown upward? After a body is thrown upwards, you have gravity pulling it down and friction slowing it.
What two forces are balanced when a systems is in?
When a system is in isostasy, downward gravity and upward buoyancy are balanced.
If the downward force is 500N then what is the other forces?
Additional forces may have any magnitude and direction. In the special case that the forces are in equilibrium (the object does not accelerate), a second force (or the sum of all the other forces) would have to be 500N upward.
What two forces are balanced when a system is in isostasys?
When a system is in isostasy, downward gravity and upward buoyancy are balanced.

How does the amonut of rainfall on the windward side of a mountain differ fom that on a leeward side?
The wind forces the moist air mass to move upward, which reduces the pressure on the air mass. As a result, it is less able to support the moisture it is carrying and it dumps water on the windward side. Depending on the size of the mountain, this can result in a wind flow over the top that is low in moisture and higher in temperature. In Switzerland, there is an effect called a Foehn, which results in everyone taking the day off because of the pleasant climactic effect. Google Foehn.
Why do rain shadows form?
Mountain ranges force moist air upward and the rain then falls on the windward side of the mountains forming a rain shadow on the leeward side. See the image above.
How does volcanic mountain formed?
yes because when two plants convege , compression forces rocks upward to make mountians
What it mean that a desert is in the rain shadow of a mountain?
Many deserts are the result of mountain ranges blocking the flow of moisture from an ocean. The moist air is forced upward on the leeward side where the water in the air condenses and falls as rain or snow. The air, now dry, passes to the leeward side of the mountain range and a rain shadow desert forms. See the image above.
What does it mean when the desert is the rain shadow of the mountain?
Mountain ranges can block moisture from reaching the interior of continents. Moist air is forced upward where it condenses and falls as rain or snow on the windward side of the mountains. The leeward side remains dry and a rain shadow desert forms. See the image above.
What is upward. Forces of a liquid?
Buoyancy.
What is an upward mountain?
Upward mountains are mountains that are formed when blocks of Earth's crust are pushed up by forces inside the Earth
More rain generally falls on the what side of a mountain range?
A rain shadow can sometimes be found on the Leeward side of a mountain. It's not unusual if a rain shadow transitions into a desert.
What types of tectonic forces create moutians?
When two continental plates collide, the crust is pushed upward and mighty mountain ranges are produced Ex: Mount Everest (Himalayas)
How do mountains affect rain shadow deserts?
Some mountain ranges block the flow of moisture from reaching the interior of a continent. The mountains force the humid air upward on the windward side of the mountain causing the rain to fall on that side and leaving little moisture to fall on the leeward side forming a rain shadow desert. See the diagram above.
Which type of mountain is formed by colliding continents?
The type of mountain that is formed by colliding continents is the upward mountain.
