You're carrying a 3.2-m-long, 24kg pole to a construction site when you decide to stop for a rest. You place one end of the pole

on a fence post and hold the other end of the pole 35cm from its tip.How much force must you exert to keep the pole motionless in a horizontal position?NExpress your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

Tension of 132N

Explanation:

We need to apply Summatory of Force to find the tension in the hand.

We define te tensión in the hand as F_2 and the Tension in fence post as F_1, then

\sum F = 24(9.8)

F_1 + F_2= 24(9.8)

We apply summatory of moments then

F_2*1.25 = F_1*1.6

Where the Force 2 is 1.25m from the center of summatory,

We can note that,

1.6 m - 0.35m=1.25m

We have two equation and two incognites, then replacing (1) in (2)

1.6(235.2 -F_2) = 1.25F_2

376.32 = F2(1.6+1.25)

F_2= \frac{376.32}{2.85}

F_2 =132 N

Wavelength of blue photons 495 nm, what is the frequency? and what is the energy?
inessss [21]

Answer:

1.F: About 6*10^14 Hz

2.E: About 4*10^ -19 J

Explanation:

Frequency: We knew that the speed of a wave is its wavelength(λ)* frequency(f, in Hz).  By the wave-particle duality we know we can calculate the frequency of light in the same way. So, c=495nm *f, f=c/495nm=> (299,792,458 m/s) / (4.95*10^-7 m)

=6.05*10^14 /s

Energy: The energy photon contains can be calculate by this formula-- E=hf

f is the frequency and h is Planck's constant which is about 6.62 ×10^-34 *m^2*kg/s (after dimensional analysis ) =6.62*10^ -34 J*s.

So, the energy of a blue photon is (6.05*10^14)*(6.62*10^-34)=40.051*10^-20=  4.051*10^-19 J

Which physical activity would a global positioning system resource help you with?
PolarNik [594]

The physical activity that a global positioning system resource can help me with is : ( A )  Hiking

<h3>Function of Global positioning system ( GPS ) </h3>

GPS helps with the accurate measurement of physical activities  and factors such as location, time, elevation and so on. When hiking, the time, distance covered and location of the hiker  can be accurately measured with the use of the GPS.

Hence we can conclude that The physical activity that a global positioning system resource can help me with is  Hiking.

How can you prove that air contains carbon dioxide?​
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Limewater can be used to detect carbon dioxide. If carbon dioxide is bubbled through limewater then it turns from clear to cloudy/milky in colour. This is why limewater used in a simple respirometer can show that more carbon dioxide is present in exhaled air compared to inhaled air.

which of the following statements describes the formation of acid rain?...A. acid rain forms from human activities and lowers th
olga_2 [115]

The correct answer is A. Acid rain forms from human activities and lowers the pH of rainwater below 7

Explanation:

The term "acid rain" is used to refer to rainwater with a low pH or a high acidity, this includes rainwater with a pH below 7 (solutions with a pH under 7 are acidic). In terms of formation, acid rain is mainly the result of human activities such as factories or cars that release pollutants into the atmosphere including nitric and sulfuric acids and these alter the natural pH of rain and makes it more acidic. Additionally, acid rain has negative consequences such as the death of fishes and other organisms in lakes, rivers, etc. because the acidity is toxic to many organisms. Thus, acid rain is the result of human activities and it lowers the pH of rain (Option A).
