Answer:

Equal to W

Explanation:

It is given that, an object of weight W is in free fall close to the surface of Earth. Weight of an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration. On the surface of Earth, the weight is given by :

W=mg

g=9.8\ m/s^2

The magnitude of the force that the object exerts on Earth is equal to W as per the Newton's third law of motion. The force exerted from one object to another object must be equal to and opposite to the force exerted from object 2 to 1.

So, the correct option is (c) "equal to W".

If an element's atomic mass and atomic number are known, what else can be determined? Give an example to demonstrate your unders
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

If an elements atomic mass and number are known you can also determine the number of protons and neutrons it has. You can also determine where it is on the periodic table. For example, if a element had a atomic mass of 10 then it would be higher up on the table then one with a mass of 20. Btw I do apex too.

How to do this, i'm completely lost

There are two torques t1 and t2 on the beam due to the weights, one torque t3 due to the weight of the beam, and one torque t4 due to the string.

You need to figure out t4 to know the tension in the string.

Since the whole thing is not moving t1 + t2 + t3 = t4.

torque t = r * F * sinФ = distance from axis of rotation * force * sin (∡ between r and F)

t1 =3.2 * 44g 
t2 = 7 * 49g 
t3 = 3.5 * 24g 

t4 = t1 + t2 + t3 = 5570,118

The t4 also is given by:

t4 = r * T * sin Ф

r = 7
Ф = 32°
T: tension in the string

T = t4 / (r * sinФ)

T = t4 / (7 * sin(32°)) 

T = 1501,6 N

F - force
m - mass
a - acceleration 

We transform this formula to get a:

A radar operates at a wavelength of 3 centimeters. what is the frequency of the these waves? the speed of light is 3 × 108 m/s .
aliya0001 [1]
We are given information:
λ = wavelength = 3cm = 0.03m \\ 
c = speed of light =  3* 10^{8}m/s

Formula that connects wavelength and frequency is:
frequency= \frac{speed of light}{wavelength} \\ f= \frac{3* 10^{8}}{0.03} \\ f=1 * 10^{10} Hz = 10GHz
