Answer:

327.894 N

Explanation:

We have given two forces Jhon pushes with a force of 185 N in east direction and Joan pushes with a force of 165 N at 30° north of east which is clearly shown in figure

We fave to find the total horizontal force

So total horizontal force will be F_X=185+165cos30^{\circ} =327.894 N ( total horizontal force will be sum of force in the east direction and horizontal component of the force in north- east direction)

2. Two people, one on Earth and the other on the Moon, try and lift 200 kg blocks. Which person
Art [367]

Answer:

The person on Earth will have to exert more force to lift their block

Explanation:

The mass of the blocks to be lifted = 200 kg

The location of the first person = On Earth

The location of the second person = On the Moon

The force a person will have to exert to lift the block = The weight of the block = The gravitational force, F, on the block which is given as follows;

F = \dfrac{G \times M_1}{R^2}  \times m_2

Where;

\dfrac{G \times M_1}{R^2}= The acceleration due to gravity on the Earth or the Moon, depending on the location of the block

m₂ = The mass of the block

Therefore, given that the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth is larger than the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon, the weight of the block on the Earth is larger than the weight of the block on the Moon, and the person on Earth have to exert more force to lift the heavier weight of the block on Earth than the person on the Moon will have to exert to lift the same block as the block has a lower weight on the Moon due to lower acceleration due to gravity on the Moon.

Why is it important that radioisotopes used in diagnostic tests have short half-lives? 20 A) These radioisotopes have a greater
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Option B) This minimizes the harmful side effects of the radiations

Explanation:

Half-life is the time taken for the decay of an radio-active atom in which it disintegrates such that it becomes half of its value at the beginning.... The nuclei should be in active mode for a longer duration sufficient for the treatment of the condition but these nuclei should have a sufficient  shorter half life so that they don't get enough time to cause any  damage to the health of the person other than treating the cause.

A shorter half life gives the assurance that the radiation after the treatment will leave the body without getting accumulated and cause harm to the body cells and other organs.

why should society be concerned about continental drift and plate tectonics? What value does this research have for the public i
AleksAgata [21]
Humans should be concerned with continental drift and plate tectonics because these forces have a major impact on the environment and also lead to major natural disasters. Shifts in tectonic plates lead to earthquakes which can also cause things like typhoons or tsunamis. Therefore, begin knowledgeable about the locations of fault lines and areas with the high potential for natural disasters as a result of shifting plates is very important.

How are the interference patterns for light through a double slit and light through a single slit similar yet different
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: In double slit case, you need to understand superposition on waves emerging from dirrerent slit.

Explanation: When passing a single slit, wave spread in all directions.

In double slit waves with equal wavelength travel different path and distance  

trey travel is different . Waves meet each other in different positions in different phases. If phase are same, waves have contructive interference, crests of waves meet in same point. Amplitudes of waves are added together. If waves are in opposite phases, sum of amplitudes

ame subtacted and this is destructive interference. Sum of amplitudes are zero.
