The net force is the sum of the forces acting on an object ( chair ).
F net = F 1 + F 2
F 1 = 20 N, F 2 = - 12 N
F net = 20 N + ( - 12 N ) = 8 N
The chair will tend to move to the left.

The graph below shows the composition of the air we breathe. Which of the following statements correctly classified the air we b
levacccp [35]

Answer:

D. The air we breathe is a homogeneous mixture because it has substances but the same appearance throughout.

Explanation:

The air we breathe is a homogeneous mixture.

Air is a mixture of many gases. A homogeneous mixture is one whose constituents exists in one phase.

Air is a gas - gas mixtures.

A mixture has indefinite composition. They consist of two or more elements and or compounds in any proportion by mass.

Constituents retain their identities i.e. physical properties are retained.

An unknown mass of each substance, initially at 25.0 ∘C, absorbs 1920 J of heat. The final temperature is recorded. Find the mas
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: mass for Pyrex glass 84.21g

mass for sand 61.6g

mass for ethanol 41.32g

mass for water 62.07g

Explanation

By definition specific heat is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of 1 kg mas by 1°C

Q=mcΔT is formula for specific heat

Q is heat transfer

m is mass

ΔT is change in temperature

c   is specific heat

c of Pyrex glass= 0.75 j/g°C

c of sand = 0.84 j/g°C

c of ethanol= 2.42 j/g°C

c of water = 4.18 j/g°C

now we will make M(mass) the subject, so equation becomes

m=Q/cΔT

for

pyrex glass T<em>f=</em>55.4°C

m=1920/(55.4-25)*0.75

m=84.21g {after cutting J(joules) and °C we are left with g(grams)}

for

sand T<em>f</em>=62.1°C

m=1920/(62.1-25)*0.84

m=61.6g {after cutting J(joules) and °C we are left with g(grams)}

for

ethanol T<em>f</em>=44.2°C

m=1920/(44.2-25)*2.42

m=41.32g  {after cutting J(joules) and °C we are left with g(grams)}

for

water T<em>f=</em>32.4°

m=1920/(32.4-25)*4.18

m=62.07g  {after cutting J(joules) and °C we are left with g(grams)}

i hope you understand the solution, thank you.

When its 75 kW (100 hp) engine is generating full power, a small single-engine airplane with mass 700 kg gains altitude at a rat
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

343/1500

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the product force and velocity. The S.I unit of power is Watt (w).

From the question,

P' = mg×v................. Equation 1

Where P' = power used to gain an altitude, m = mass of the engine, g = acceleration due to gravity of the engine, v = velocity of the engine.

Given: m = 700 kg, v = 2.5 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

P' = 700(2.5)(9.8)

P' = 17150 W.

If the full power generated by the engine = 75000 W

The fraction of the engine power used to make the climb = 17150/75000

= 343/1500

21. A person standing 49.5m from the foot of a cliff claps his hands and hears an echo 0.3
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

330 m/s

Explanation:

The sound wave has to travel TO the cliff AND back = 2 * 49.5 = 99 m

magnitude of velocity =  distance / time = 99m / .3 s = 330 m/s
