To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conversion of units for which we will have that 1 slug is equal to 14.59kg. At the same time we will use Newton's second law for which weight is defined as the product between mass and acceleration (Due to gravity). This is then

A: Using the conversion ratio of slug to kilogram we have to,

1 slug = 14.59kg

Then

m = 280*10^3 slugs (\frac{14.59kg}{1slug})

m = 4.09*10^6kg

B: Using Newton's second law we have to,

W = mg

W = (4.09*10^6)(9.8)

W = 40034960N\approx 4*10^7N

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

I disagree.

Explanation:

Yes, traits may be similar, but it all depends on the dominant and recessive alleles that are passed on.  No one person can look alike.  Even with twins, a widow's peak or close lobes can be different.

I hope this was the brainliest answer! Thank you for letting me help you.

1. A soccer ball is kicked horizontally off a cliff with an initial speed of 8 m/s and lands 16 m from the base of
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Height of cliff = S = 20 m (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity = 8 m/s

Distance s = 16 m

Starting acceleration (a) = 0

Computation:

s = ut + 1/2a(t)²

16 = 8t

t = 2 sec

Height of cliff = S

Gravitational acceleration = 10 m/s

S = 1/2a(t)²

S = 1/2(10)(2)²

Height of cliff = S = 20 m (Approx)

A student is examining a bacterium under the microscope. The E. coli bacterial cell has a mass of m = 0.900 fg (where a femtogra
just olya [345]

Answer:

9.73 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle

Uncertainty in position x uncertainty in momentum ≥ h / 4π

Δ X x Δp ≥ h / 4π

Δp = mΔV

ΔV = Uncertainty in velocity

= 2 x 10⁻⁶ x 3 / 100

= 6 x 10⁻⁸

mass m = 0.9 x 10⁻¹⁵ x 10⁻³ kg

m = 9 x 10⁻¹⁹

Δp = mΔV

= 9 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 6 x 10⁻⁸

= 54 x 10⁻²⁷

Δ X x Δp ≥ h / 4π

Δ X x  54 x 10⁻²⁷ ≥ h / 4π

Δ X = h / 4π x 1 /  54 x 10⁻²⁷

= \frac{6.6\times10^{-34}}{4\times3.14\times54\times10^{-27}}

= 9.73 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

The electric force between two charges A. increases with distance between the charges B. increases if either one of charges gets
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Option (A) , (b) and (d) are correct option

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law electric force between two charges is given by

F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

From the relation we can say that force is directly proportional to magnitude of charges and inversely proportional to distance between them '

So if we increase the distance then force will decrease

Increase if any of the charge get larger

If force is attractive then both the charge will be of different sign and is force is repulsive then both the charges of same sign

From above conclusion we can say that (a), (b) and (d) are correct option
