Answer:

Explanation:

This is because gravity plays a role in the weight of an object that's from (Force = mass × acceleration due to gravity) and also weight is also a type of Force

A light source emits light with dominant wavelengths in the range of 650 to 690 nm. what is the principle color of light emitted

dsp73

Answer:

Please see below as the answer is self-explanatory.

Explanation:

The visible range extends roughly from 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red).
Below the violet is the ultra-violet spectrum (with higher energy) and above red, we have the infra-red spectrum.
The wavelengths in the range of 650 to 690 nm have red as the dominant color.

4. Johnny exerts a 3.55 N rightward force on a 0.200-kg box to accelerate it across a low-friction track. If the total resistanc

muminat

a) $15.2 m/s^2$

b) 1.96 N

c) 1.96 N

Explanation:

To find the acceleration of the box, we apply Newton's second law of motion:

$\sum F=ma$

where

$\sum F$ is the net force on the box

m is the mass of the box

a is its acceleration

Here we have to consider the horizontal direction, which is the one in which the box is moving. The net force is given by:

$\sum F=3.55 N - 0.52 N=3.03 N$

which is the difference between the forward force and the resistive force. Then we have

m = 0.200 kg (mass of the box)

Therefore, the acceleration of the box is:

$a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{3.03}{0.200}=15.2 m/s^2$

The gravitational force (also called weight) is the force with which an object is pulled by the Earth towards the Earth's centre.

It is given by

$F_g = mg$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem, we have:

m = 0.200 kg is the mass of the box

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

Therefore, the gravitational force on the box is:

$F_g=(0.200)(9.8)=1.96 N$

The normal force is the force with which a surface pushes back on an object.

For an object lying on a flat surface, there are two forces acting along the vertical direction:

- The gravitational force, $F_g$ , which pushes the object downward

- The normal force, N, which pushes the object upward

As the object is at rest, the vertical acceleration of the object is zero, therefore according to Newton's second law of motion, the net force must be zero:

$\sum F=F_g-N=0$

Which means that the normal force is equal to the gravitational force:

$N=F_g$

And so, for the box in this problem, the normal force is

$N=1.96 N$

In the circuit described by the diagram, which pair of resistors is connected in parallel?

scoundrel [369]

Option 4 ( R2 and R3 ) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In the below given diagram, we can see a circuit diagram that has four resistors such as R1, R2, R3, and R4.
The opening of the circuit is noted as "a" and the ending is noted as "b".
By observing the above diagram, we can clearly see that R2 and R3 are the pair of resistors that are connected in a parallel manner.
Where all the other resistors such as R1 and R4 are neither connected in parallel nor in series.

Hence we can conclude that Resistor R2 and R3 are the ones that are connected in parallel.
