A book that weighs 20 N sits on a table. How big and in what direction does the force of gravity from the Earth act on the book?
A. 20 N down
B. 10 N down
C. 20 N up
D. 10 N up

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 20 N down

Explanation:

It's asking how much force of gravity is acting on it. The book weighs 20 Newtons so that's how much gravity is being applied. Hope this helps

Answer 2

When a book that weighs 20 N sits on a table. then the force of gravity from the Earth acts on the book would be 20 N down, therefore the correct option is A.

What is gravity?

It can be defined as the force by which a body attracts another body towards its center as the result of the gravitational pull of one body and another, The gravity varies according to the mass and size of the body for example the force of gravity on the moon is the 1/6th times of the force of gravity on the earth.

When an object is thrown straight up in the absence of air resistance there is no external force acting on it except the gravitational force of the earth which very much reflects the fact that the acceleration due to gravity is constant and is the result of the gravitational pull of the earth which act on the downward direction.

A book that weighs 20 N sits on a table and faces a downward force of 20N acts on the book because the force of gravity from the Earth acts on the book.

Which one of the following statements is true: The reactive power is the power dissipated in the form of heat by the network. The reactive power is the power delivered to a load without considering the effects of the power-factor angle of the load. The apparent power is the power delivered to a load without considering the effects of the power-factor angle of the load. The real power is the power associated with reactive elements that provides a measure of the energy associated with setting up the magnetic and electric fields.

Answers

Answer:

The apparent power is the power delivered to a load without considering the effects of the power-factor angle of the load

Explanation:

If I and V are the current and voltage across the load, the apparent power, = IV

Since,

apparent power = active power + reactive power

active power = IVcosФ

reactive power = IVsinФ

So, IV = IVcosФ + IVsinФ

where I = current, V = voltage and Ф = power factor angle.

We see that the apparent power is the product of the current, I and the Voltage, V without considering the power factor angle of the load.

So, the apparent power is the power delivered to a load without considering the effects of the power-factor angle of the load.

According to Newton’s second law, the mass of an object is 120kg and it is accelerating at a rate of 5m/s2 . The object’s force would be

Answers

Answer:

F = 600 N

Explanation:

The second law is F = m * a

The mass (m) is in kg = 120

The acceleration in in m/s^2 = 5

The force is in Newtons.

m and a do not require any conversions. They are in the correct units.

F = 120 * 5

F = 600 N

What is the temperature increase of 4.0 kg of water when it is heated by an 8.0 ^102 W immersion heater for exactly 10.0 min? (cp = 4186 J/kg·°C)

Answers

Answer:

ΔT = 28.667°C is the answer.

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of water = 4.0 kg

Water is heated by = 8 × 10² W = 800 W

Time = 10 min = 10 × 60 = 600 s

Now,

using the equation of specific heat,

Q = mcΔT

where c is the specific heat capacity of water = 4186 J/kg°C

Q = Pt

Substituting,

Pt = mcΔT

800 × 600 = 4 × 4186 × ΔT

480000 = 16744 × ΔT

ΔT = 28.667

∴Temperature increased, ΔT = 28.667°C

Answers

Answer:

  [tex]\frac{Y}{Y_o}[/tex] = 2/3

Explanation:

The yuong modulus of a rod is defined as the relationship between the tensile strength and the strain

         Y =  [tex]\frac{ \frac{F}{A} }{\frac{\Delta L}{L_o} }[/tex]

let's use the subscript "o" for rod A

         I = [tex]\frac{ \frac{F}{A_o} }{ \frac{\Delta L}{L_o} }[/tex]

tells us that rod B has

         A = 3 A₀

         L = 2 L₀

we substitute

         Y = [tex]\frac{ \frac{F}{A} }{ \frac{\Delta L}{L} }[/tex]

          Y = [tex]\frac{ \frac{F}{3A_o} }{ \frac{\Delta L}{ 2L_o} }[/tex]

         y = ⅔  [tex]\frac{ \frac{F}{A_o}}{ \frac{\Delta }{L_o} }[/tex]

substituting the value of Y₀

          Y = ⅔  Y₀

           [tex]\frac{Y}{Y_o}[/tex] = 2/3

While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 31 m/s to 15 m/s in 8 seconds. What is the automobile’s acceleration? (Remember that a negative value indicates a slowing down or deceleration.)​

Answers

Answer:

The automobile's acceleration in that time interval is -2 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity.

The average acceleration in a given lapse of time is calculated as:

A = (final velocity - initial velocity)/time.

In this case, we have:

initial velocity = 31 m/s

final velocity = 15 m/s

time = 8 seconds.

Then the average acceleration is:

A = (15m/s - 31m/s)/8s = -2 m/s^2

A 5kg object is moving downward at a speed of 12m/s. If it is currently 2.6m above the ground, what is its kinetic energy?

Answers

Answer:

360J

Explanation:

In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same amount of work is done by the body when decelerating from its current speed to a state of rest.

A 1200 kg car accelerates from rest to 10.0 m/s in a time of 4.50 seconds. Calculate the force that the car’s tires exerted on the road.
please help me i need the answer in 10 mins

Answers

Answer:

the force that the car’s tires exerted on the road is 2,666.67 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m = 1,200 kg

initial velocity of the car, u = 0

final velocity of the car, v =  10.0 m/s

time of motion, t = 4.50 s

The force the car’s tires exerted on the road is calculated as follows;

[tex]F = ma= \frac{m(v-u)}{t} \\\\F = \frac{1200(10-0)}{4.5} \\\\F = 2,666.67 \ N[/tex]

Therefore, the force that the car’s tires exerted on the road is 2,666.67 N.

Cuales podrian ser las causas y consecuencias del aumento de problemas de salud mental en la población chilena

Answers

Explanation:

CAUSAS:

-El gobierno de chile ha destinado el 2% de sus recursos de salud pública para tratar los problemas de salud mental,lo cual es insuficiente debido a la alta demanda de pacientes que requieren atención especializada. Según la OMS (organización mundial de la salud) , cada gobierno debería destinar al menos el 5% de sus recursos para tratar este tipo de patologías o enfermedades mentales como la depresión,la ansiedad u otros trastornos bipolares

- El personal capacitado para tratar este tipo de enfermedades es muy escaso.

- Muchos de los chilenos que padecen este tipo de enfermedades no buscan ayuda inmediata, algunos recurren al alcohol o a los vicios como el cigarrillo o la marihuana , pensando que lograrán calmar la ansiedad o sus preocupaciones pero en realidad sucede lo contrario, aumentan   la depresión y la ansiedad.

-Los problemas sociales, la crisis económica y el aumento de la pobreza así como el limitado acceso que tiene la población pobre chilena a un buen sistema de salud integrado,genera un significativo aumento de problemas de salud mental  en especial en la población pobre o más desfavorecida del país.

CONSECUENCIAS:

Debido a los problemas de salud mental las incapacidades laborales han aumentado, afectando  la economía  del país.

Debido a la falta de tratamiento ,el suicidio y otras enfermedades como la esquizofrenia han aumentado. De igual manera la violencia intrafamiliar se ha incrementado e inclusive hasta los niños están empezando a sufrir este tipo de trastornos o enfermedades mentales,lo cual está afectando su desempeño escolar.

Calcula la cantidad de calor que hay que darle a 0,01 l de mercurio para que su temperatura pase de 10 ºC a 25 ºC. Datos: rho=13,6 g/cm3 ; Ar(Hg)=200,6; C=28,1 J/(mol∙K).

Answers

Respuesta:

286 J

Explicación:

Paso 1: Convertir 0,01 L de Hg a cm³

Usaremos los siguientes factores de conversion.

1 L = 1000 mL

1 mL = 1 cm³

0,01 L × 1000 mL/1 L × 1 cm³/1 mL = 10 cm³

Paso 2: Calcular la masa (m) correspondiente a 10 cm³ de Hg

La densidad de Hg es 13,6 g/cm³.

10 cm³ × 13,6 g/cm³ = 136 g

Paso 3: Calcular los moles(n) correspondientes a 136 g de Hg

La masa molar de Hg es 200,6 g/mol.

136 g × 1 mol/200,6 g = 0,678 mol

Paso 4: Calcular la cantidad de calor requerido (Q)

Usaremos la siguiente fórmula.

Q = c × n × (T₂ - T₁)

donde,

c: calor específico del Hg (28,1 J/mol.K = 28,1 J/mol.K)

T₂ y T₁: temperaturas final e inicial, respectivamente

Q = (28,1 J/mol.°C) × 0,678 mol × (25°C - 10 °C) = 286 J
