Answer:

300 N

Explanation:

We have three forces acting on the object:

- W = 1500 N, downward: the weight of the object

- F1 = 1200 N, upward: the force exerted by the first man

- F2, upward: the force exerted by the friend

In order to lift the object, the sum of the two forces F1 and F2 must be at least equal to the weight of the object W. Therefore we can write

F_1 +F_2 = W

And from this equation, we can find the magnitude of F2:

F_2 = W-F_1 = 1500 N-1200 N=300 N

a 15 kg tv sots on a shelf at a height of 0.3 m. how much gravitational potential energy is added to the television when it is l
nata0808 [166]
Gravitational potential energy can be described as m*g*h (mass times gravity times height).

Originally,
15kg * 9.8m/s^2 *0.3 m = 44.1 kg*m^2/s^2 = 44.1 Joules.

After it is moved to a 1m shelf:
15kg * 9.8m/s * 1 = 147 kg*m^2/s^2= 147 Joules.

To find how much energy was added, we subtract final energy from initial energy:

147 J - 44.1 J = 102.9 Joules.

The curve below shows the percentage of population of aquatic species that die in response to doses of pollutant A:
Elis [28]

Based on the trend produced by the dose - response graph, it would be best to evacuate the residents in other to prevent the increasing percentage of deaths due to the rising level of pollutant A.

  • The curve shows that the pollutant level in mg/kg of pollutant A is still increasing, hence, groundwater monitoring alone won't be the best decision to make.

  • Since the pollutant level is still increasing, then the spill level still need effective monitoring.

  • Evacuation of residents seems to be the best decision that should be taken based on the information interpreted on the graph.

Therefore, Evacuating residents to prevent rising death percentage is required as the pollutant level is yet to subside.

The volumes of a sample of lead and a sample of platinum are the same: 2 cm3. The density of lead is 11.3 g/cm3 and the density
Vlad1618 [11]

The answer is C. The mass of the platinum sample is greater than the mass of the lead sample. As I explained in a previous answer, if they are the same volume, but one is heavier, then it must be more dense. In this particular example, the platinum is more dense than the lead, and therefore has more mass.

A 320 g air track cart traveling at 1.25 m/s collides with a stationary 270 g cart. What is the speed of the 270 g cart after th
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The speed of the 270g cart after the collision is 0.68m/s

Explanation:

Mass of air track cart (m1) = 320g

Initial velocity (u1) = 1.25m/s

Mass of stationary cart (m2) = 270g

Velocity after collision (V) = m1u1/(m1+m2) = 320×1.25/(320+270) = 400/590 = 0.68m/s
