ANSWER

C. $F=4.5 \times10^3$ . newtons

EXPLANATION

According to Newton's second law,

$F_{net}=ma$ , where

$m=1.00\times 10^3kg$ is the mass measured in kilograms.

and

$a=4.5ms^{2}$ is the acceleration in metres per second square.

We substitute these values to obtain,

$F=1.00\times10^3 \times 4.5$ .

We rearrange to get,

$F=1.00\times4.5 \times10^3$ .

We multiply out the first two numbers and leave our answer in standard form to get,

$F=4.5 \times10^3 N$ .

The correct answer is C

A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 4.4 m from the center of the ride. The operator turns on the ride and

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction is 0.29

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the merry-go-round, r = 4.4 m

The operator turns on the ride and brings it up to its proper turning rate of one complete rotation every 7.7 s.

We need to find the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place, without sliding. For this the centripetal force is balanced by the frictional force.

$\mu mg=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

v is the speed of cat, $v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{t}$

$\mu=\dfrac{4\pi^2r}{gt^2}\\\\\mu=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times 4.4}{9.8\times (7.7)^2}\\\\\mu=0.29$

So, the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round is 0.29.

An electron and an antielectron (positron) each have a rest energy of 0.511 MeV , or approximately 8.2×10−14 J . When an electro

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Photon is also a particle . Hence when two particles like electron and positron annihilate to get completely changed to photons , a minimum of two photons of equal and opposite momentum and energy are produced flying in opposite direction to conserve momentum and energy . Each photon will have same energy equal to 511 keV . It is so to conserve momentum and energy. Initially total momentum was zero so finally too total momentum should be zero.

A 120 resistor a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source. what is the current

larisa [96]

Answer:

6 A

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit. The three resistors are connected in parallel, so their equivalent resistance is given by:

$\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}=\frac{1}{120 \Omega}+\frac{1}{60 \Omega}+\frac{1}{40 \Omega}=\frac{3+2+1}{120 \Omega}=\frac{6}{120 \Omega}\\R_T = \frac{120}{6} \Omega$

And now we can use Ohm's law to find the current in the circuit:

$V=R_T II=\frac{V}{R_T}=\frac{120 V}{\frac{120}{6}\Omega}=6 A$
