Answer:

$20 m/s^2$

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

$F=ma$

where

F is the net force on the object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

In this problem:

F = 40 N is the force on the object

m = 2 kg is its mass

Therefore, the acceleration of the object is

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{40}{2}=20 m/s^2$

What is the fate of solar radiation that reaches the earth?

expeople1 [14]

When solar radiation reaches the Earth it quickly dissipates as most of the radiation and UV rays are blocked by ozone layer, but more radiation and UV rays are able to get through because of global warming.

Rom4ik [11]

The three branches of science are life, earth, and physical science.
Life science deals with living organisms, so, biology is the most important of these sciences, although there are many.
Earth science deals with Planet Earth, studying its atmosphere, lithosphere, etc.
Physical science studies the inorganic world.

Calculate the percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean given that the density of ice is 916.3kg/m3 an

pogonyaev

Answer:

The percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean = 89.67%

Explanation:

Let V be the total volume of the iceberg

Let x be the volume of iceberg submerged

According to Archimedes principle,

weight of the iceberg = weight of the water displaced (that is, weight of x volume of water)

Weight of the iceberg = mg= ρ(iceberg) × V × g

Weight of water displaced = ρ(fluid) × x × g

We then have

ρ(iceberg) × V × g = ρ(fluid) × x × g

(x/V) = ρ(iceberg) ÷ ρ(fluid) = 916.3 ÷ 1021.9 = 0.8967 = 89.67%

Hope this Helps!!!!

An electric motor with a 1200 hp output drives a machine with an efficiency of 60%. What is the energy output of the machine per

kirill [66]

Answer:

536,904 J/s

Explanation:

The energy output from motor is the input energy in the machine.

We know that efficiency is percentage energy ouput to energy input, and expressed as

$n=\frac {E_o}{E_i}$

Where n and E represent efficiency and energy respectively, subscripts o and i represent output and input respectively. Since for the machine we have the input energy then the output will be the product of efficiency and input energy

Energy output=0.6*1200 hp=720 hp

Converting hp to J/s we multiply by 745.7

Energy is 720*745.7=536,904 J/s
