<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em><u>Statement is True.</u></em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

<em><u>Yes, the given statement is True.</u></em> For a person to perceive or sense his/her weight there has to be a Normal Force acting on them upwards.

We can understand this as when a falls in the pit on the ground, for the time the person is in the air he/she feels weightless as they don't have any weight.

This weightlessness is felt even when the weight (mg) of the person is acting downwards. So we can conclude that for a person to feel his/ her weight there has to be a Normal Force acting back on them equal to their weight.

As, in the space station people feel like they are on Earth that is felt by them because of the rotation of the Space Station which generated the Normal force on their feet making them sense weight.

Therefore, for Suzanna, of the two external forces acting on her, her perception or sensation of weight is dependent on<em><u> the Upward Reaction Force from the Floor.</u></em>

2 kids are running down the hall at 2 m/s, one is 40kg and the other is 50kg (p=ma)
Georgia [21]

The net force acting on the two (2) kids is equal to 180 Newton.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Mass of kid 1 = 40 kilogram.
  • Mass of kid 2 = 50 kilogram.
  • Acceleration = 2 m/s^2

To determine the net force acting on the two (2) kids:

First of all, we would calculate the total mass of the two (2) kids:

Total\;mass = 50+40

Total mass = 90 kg.

<h3>How to calculate net force.</h3>

In this exercise, you're required to calculate the magnitude of the net force that is acting on these two (2) kids running down the hall. Thus, we would apply Newton's Second Law of Motion.

Mathematically, Newton's Second Law of Motion is given by this formula;

Net\;force = mass \times acceleration

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Net\;force = 90 \times 2

Net force = 180 Newton.

How much time does it take a pulse of light to travel through 150 m of water?
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

 6.65×10⁻⁷ s

Explanation:

Speed of light in water = Total distance traveled in water/time

c = d/t ....................... Equation 1

Where c = speed of the light pulse in water, d = distance traveled in water, t = time.

also

c = v/n ..................... Equation 2

Where v = speed of light in air, n = refractive index of water

Substituting equation 2 into equation 1

v/n = d/t

making t the subject of the equation,

t = nd/v.................. Equation 3

Given: 150 m.

Constant: n = 1.33, v = 3.0×10⁸ m/s

Substitute into equation 3

t = 1.33(150)/3.0×10⁸

t = 6.65×10⁻⁷ seconds.

Hence the time =  6.65×10⁻⁷ s

If you measure a change in temperature, then the _____.
kherson [118]

Answer:

C. total heat energy of the substance has increased

Explanation:

This is because when there is a change in temperature, the heat energy of a substance either increases or decreases. If the temperature increases, its heat energy increases and if its temperature decreases, its heat enery decreases.
