4 0

Answer: 2. Weight can be measured in pounds.

Explanation: 1. False. Mass can be measured in kilograms not Newton’s. Newton’s is a measurement of force not mass.

3. False. A bowling ball is more massive, therefore when multiplied by acceleration of gravity it weighs more.

4. False. In different gravitational fields such as the moon versus the earth, objects will have different weights.

For the different values given for the radius of curvature RRR and speed vvv, rank the magnitude of the force of the roller-coas

nirvana33 [79]

Explanation:

The force of the roller-coaster track on the cart at the bottom is given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{R}$ , m is mass of roller coaster

Case 1.

R = 60 m v = 16 m/s

$F=\dfrac{(16)^2m}{60}=4.26m\ N$

Case 2.

R = 15 m v = 8 m/s

$F=\dfrac{(8)^2m}{15}=4.26m\ N$

Case 3.

R = 30 m v = 4 m/s

$F=\dfrac{(4)^2m}{30}=0.54m\ N$

Case 4.

R = 45 m v = 4 m/s

$F=\dfrac{(4)^2m}{45}=0.36m\ N$

Case 5.

R = 30 m v = 16 m/s

$F=\dfrac{(16)^2m}{30}=8.54m\ N$

Case 6.

R = 15 m v =12 m/s

$F=\dfrac{(12)^2m}{15}=9.6m\ N$

Ranking from largest to smallest is given by :

F>E>A=B>C>D

The filament of a certain lamp has a resistance that increases linearly with temperature. When a constant voltage is switched on

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The change in temperature is $\Delta T = 1795 K$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The temperature coefficient is $\alpha = 4 * 10^{-3 }\ k^{-1 }$

The resistance of the filament is mathematically represented as

$R = R_o [1 + \alpha \Delta T]$

Where $R_o$ is the initial resistance

Making the change in temperature the subject of the formula

$\Delta T = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{R}{R_o} - 1 ]$

Now from ohm law

$I = \frac{V}{R}$

This implies that current varies inversely with current so

$\frac{R}{R_o} = \frac{I_o}{I}$

Substituting this we have

$\Delta T = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{I_o}{I} - 1 ]$

From the question we are told that

$I = \frac{I_o}{8}$

Substituting this we have

$\Delta T = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{I_o}{\frac{I_o}{8} } - 1 ]$

=> $\Delta T = \frac{1}{3.9 * 10^{-3}} (8 -1 )$

$\Delta T = 1795 K$

According to Newton's 2nd Law of Motion, if the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration is

Mkey [24]

According to Newton's second Law of motion, if the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration is 1m/s².

<h3>How to calculate acceleration?</h3>

The acceleration of a moving body can be calculated by dividing the force of the body by its mass.

According to this question, the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration can be calculated as follows:

acceleration = 10N ÷ 10kg

acceleration = 1m/s²

Therefore, according to Newton's second Law of motion, if the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration is 1m/s².

How does stress influence our immune system?

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

When you experience prolonged stress, your body needs those T-cells and white blood cells, and unfortunately, cortisol continues to suppress them, thus weakening your immune system over time.

Explanation:

Stress, Illness and the Immune System. ... When we're stressed, the immune system's ability to fight off antigens is reduced. That is why we are more susceptible to infections. The stress hormone corticosteroid can suppress the effectiveness of the immune system
