The weight of the person is given by:

W = mg

W = weight, m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration

Given values:

m = 40kg, g = 9.81m/s²

Plug in and solve for W:

W = 40(9.81)

W = 390N

A 1000 kg box is being pushed with a force of 3500 N. What acceleration is the

WARRIOR [948]

Net Force = mass x acceleration
3500=1,000a
So a= 3500/1000
a=35/10
a=3.5 m/s^2

In the aerials competition in skiing, the competitors speed down a ramp that slopes sharply upward at the end. The sharp upward

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

u = 11.6 m/s

Explanation:

The end of a launch ramp is directed 63° above the horizontal. A skier attains a height of 10.9 m above the end of the ramp.

Maximum height, H = 10.9

Let v is the launch speed of the skier. The maximum height attained by the projectile is given by :

$H=\dfrac{u^2\ sin^2\theta}{g}$

$10.9=\dfrac{u^2\ sin^2(63)}{9.8}$

u = 11.6 m/s

So, the launch speed of the skier is 11.6 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which type of light wave has the highest energy? which has the least amount of energy

devlian [24]

Answer:

Red has the lowest energy and violet the highest. Beyond red and violet are many other kinds of light our human eyes can't see, much like there are sounds our ears can't hear. On one end of the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, which have wavelengths billions of times longer than those of visible light.
