The weight of air measured in units of force per area is called air pressure.
ElenaW [278]3 years ago

Answer:

B. air pressure

Explanation:

The definition of pressure is that it is a force applied to an area.

P=\frac{F}{A}

Because weight is a force (a force is mass multiplied by acceleration, and weight is the product of the mass of an object multiplied by the acceleration of gravity, thus weight is a force), the measurement of the weight of the air over area is the air pressure.

The correct answe is B.

Olin [163]

Answer:

6.05 cm

Explanation:

The given equation is

2 aₓ(x-x₀)=( Vₓ²-V₀ₓ²)

The initial head velocity V₀ₓ =11 m/s

The final head velocity  Vₓ is 0

The accelerationis given by =1000 m/s²

the stopping distance = x-x₀=?

So we can wind the stopping distance by following formula

2 (-1000)(x-x₀)=[0^{2} -11^{2}]

x-x₀=6.05*10^{-2} m

       =6.05 cm

What is being transferred as you do work?<br> A. Energy<br> B. Power<br> C. Heat<br> D. Strength
r-ruslan [8.4K]

\huge\bold{\purple{\bold{⚡A. Energy⚡}}}

\huge\underline\mathtt\colorbox{cyan}{Reason:}

When a force causes a body to move, work is done on the object by the force. Work is the measure of the energy transfer when a force 'F' moves an object through a distance 'd'. So we say that energy is transferred from one energy store to another when work is done, and therefore, energy transferred = work done.

If two asteroids moved closer together, what would be the result on the gravitational force each asteroid exerts on the other?
spayn [35]
Gravitational force depends on inverse square law. That is, gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of distance between asteroids.
As distance between them decreases, gravitational force increases. Hence A is correct.
