That's true because every action has an equal and opposite reaction and weight is literally the force gravity has on an object.

True. When you lift the box, you are doing work, but gravity is using force to push it back down towards the center of earth.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac

taurus [48]

Answer:

a. Speed = 1.6 m/s

b. Amplitude = 0.3 m

c. Speed = 1.6 m/s

Amplitude = 0.15 m

Explanation:

The frequency of the wave must be equal to the reciprocal of the time taken by the boat to move from the highest point to the highest point again. This time will be twice the value of the time taken to travel from the highest point to the lowest point:

frequency = $\frac{1}{2(2\ s)}$ = 0.25 Hz

The wavelength of the wave is the distance between consecutive crests of the wave. Therefore,

Wavelength = 6.4 m

Now, the speed of the wave is given as:

Speed = (Frequency)(Wavelength)

Speed = (0.25 Hz)(6.4 m)

Speed = 1.6 m/s

Amplitude is the distance between the mean position of the wave and the extreme position. Hence, it will be half the distance between the highest and lowest point:

Amplitude = (0.5)(0.6 m)

Amplitude = 0.3 m

frequency = $\frac{1}{2(2\ s)}$ = 0.25 Hz

Speed = (Frequency)(Wavelength)

Speed = (0.25 Hz)(6.4 m)

Speed = 1.6 m/s

Amplitude = (0.5)(0.3 m)

Amplitude = 0.15 m

A 480N sphere 40.0cm in radius rolls without slipping 1200cm down a ramp that is inclined at 53 0 with the horizontal. What is t

IgorC [24]

As we know that sphere roll without slipping so there is no loss of energy in this case

so here we can say that total energy is conserved

Initial Kinetic energy + initial potential energy = final kinetic energy + final potential energy

$\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2+ mgh'$

as we know that ball start from rest

$v_i = 0$

height of the ball initially is given as

$h = Lsin\theta$

$h = 1200sin53 = 960 cm$

also we know that

$I = \frac{2}{5}mR^2$

also for pure rolling

$v = r\omega$

also we know that

$480 = m*9.8$

$m = 49 kg$

now plug in all data in above equation

$480*9.60 + 0 = \frac{1}{2}*49*(0.40*\omega)^2 + \frac{1}{2}*\frac{2}{5}*49*(0.40)^2\omega^2 + 0$

$4608 = 3.92\omega^2 + 1.568\omega^2$

$\omega^2 = 839.65$

$\omega = 29 rad/s$

So speed at the bottom of the inclined plane will be 29 rad/s

A mass of 10.0 kg is in a gravitational field of 3.50 N/kg. What force acts on the mass?

mash [69]

Answer:

Force=35 N

Explanation:

Given data

mass m=10.0 kg

Gravitational field E=3.50 N/kg

To find

Force

Solution

From definition of gravitational field intensity.

$E_{gravitational-field }=\frac{Force}{mass}\\ E=F/m\\F=mE\\F=(10.0 kg)*(3.50 N/kg)\\F=35N$

What is the difference between cytology and histology

bulgar [2K]

Explanation:

what is the difference between cytology and histology

Histology involves the study of tissue and Cytology involves the study of cells, both of which are derived from various organs of the human body. The Histology laboratory is responsible for the preparation of tissue for diagnosis by Pathologists.
