20. Consider a model steel bridge that is 1/100 the exact scale of the real bridge that is to be built. a. If the model bridge w

eighs 50 N, what will the real bridge weigh? b. If the model bridge does not appear to sag under its own weight, is this evidence the real bridge, built exactly to scale, will not appear to sag either?

The model bridge captures all the structural attributes of the real bridge, at a reduced scale.

Part a.
Note that volume is proportional to the cube of length. Therefore the actual bridge will have 100^3 = 10^6 times the mass of the model bridge.

Because the model bridge weighs 50 N, the real bridge weighs
(50 N)*10^6 = 50 MN.

Part b.
The model bridge matches the structural characteristics of the actual bridge.
Therefore the real bridge will not sag either.

Why is it important to know the direction of the force applied to a moving object and the direction in which the object is movin
ELEN [110]
C is correct.  The work-force relation is given by W=F·d, where F is force vector, and d is the displacement vector.  The dot is the dot product, which is a measure of how parallel the two vectors are.  It can be restated as the product of two vector magnitudes times the cosine of the angle between them.  Therefore work is a scalar, not a vector, since the dot product returns a scalar.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

-17.5 nC

Explanation:

charge A = -30 nC

charge B = -5 nC

After adding them it would be the average of the two charges because of the getting same voltage difference. so

c = (-30+(-5)) / 2 nC

c= -17.5 nC

answer is -17.5 nC

What can increase the gravitational potential energy of a object
love history [14]

Answer:

Increase in mass and height

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object can increase if the mass and height of object is increased.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

It is expressed as:

  Gravitational potential energy = mass x acceleration due gravity x height

Increasing mass and height will cause an increase in gravitational potential energy.
