Answer:

option D

Explanation:

In this case, we have a helicopter lifting a car. The car has a mass of 1500 kg and we want to know the force that the car is feeling due to gravity.

In this case, as the car is being lifted by the helicopter, we can say that the force of the helicopter is equivalent to the force of gravity that the car is feeling.

Using the second law of Newton we have:

F = m.a

In this case, the force that gravity exerts, is the weight and is calculated with the same expression but using the gravity acceleration of Earth whic is 9.81 m/s², therefore:

W = m.g

Now that we have mass and gravity, we can calculate the force of gravity so:

W = 1500 * 9.81

W = 14,715 N

This is close to the value of option D, so the answer would be that.

<span>Force of the helicopter is equivalent to weight for this case. </span>Weight is calculated by multiplying the mass of the object and the acceleration. For this case, the acceleration would be the acceleration due to gravity which is equal to 9.81 m/s^2. We calculate as follows:<span>

W = mg 
<span>W = 1500 kg ( 9.81 m/s^2 )</span></span>

<span><span>W = 14715 N </span></span>

Identify the oxidizing agent in the reaction: sn(s) + 2h+(aq) → sn2+(aq) + h2(g)
mylen [45]
In the reaction Sn(s) + 2H+(aq) → Sn2+ (aq) + H2(g)
from this reaction, we get that Sn loses from 0 to 2 electrons so it's oxidized So it is the reducing agent.
and H  gains from 0 to 1 electrons so, it's reduced so ∴ it is the oxidizing agent

It takes a slug 20 minutes to travel from the grass to the trash can, a trip of 15 meters. How far could the slug travel in 60 m
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

45 meters

Explanation:

If it takes the slug 20 minutes to travel 15 meters, you multiply the 15 by three to get the distance for 60 minutes.

What is the difference between unconfined aquifers and confined aquifers?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Unconfined aquifers are those into which water seeps from the ground surface directly above the aquifer. Confined aquifers are those in which an impermeable dirt/rock layer exists that prevents water from seeping into the aquifer from the ground surface located directly above.
