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.

1. James drives 400 km in 5 hours to his grandmothers. What are the units for speed going to be?
Airida [17]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

1. Speed is calculated as the ratio of distance and time. Hence, Jame's speed can be calculated as:

       400/5 km/hr = 80 km/hr

The unit for the speed would be km/hr. This can also be converted to m/s:

80 km = 80,000 m

1 hr = 3,600 s

80 km/hr = 80,000/3600 m/s = 22.22 m/s

2. Since James drove 400 km in 5 hours, the distance he drove is 400 km.

3. The time it took for James to get there is 5 hours.

A person weighing 785 newtons on the surface of Earth would weigh 298 newtons on the surface of Mars.
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The gravitational field strength on the surface of Mars = 3.72 m/s²

Explanation:

Gravitational Field Strength: This can be defined as the force per unit mass which is exerted at that point. its direction is the force exerted on a mass in a gravitational field. The S.I unit of gravitational field strength is m/s²

Mathematically, Gravitational field is represented as,

g = F/m ..................... Equation 1.

m = F/g ..................... Equation 2.

Where g = gravitational Field Strength, F = force on the mass, m = mass of the body.

From the question,

Note: That The mass of the object is constant both on the surface of the earth and on the surface of Mars.

On the Surface of the earth,

Given: F = 785 N, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting this values into equation 2,

m = 785/9.8

m = 80.10 kg.

On the surface of Mars.

Given: m = 80.10 kg, F = 298.

Substituting into equation 2

g = 298/80.1

g = 3.72 m/s²

Thus the gravitational field strength on the surface of Mars = 3.72 m/s²

An electron is moving horizontally east in an electric field that points vertically downward. The electric force on the electron
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

d. )directed upward.

Explanation:

As the electron has a negative charge, when under the influence of an electric field, is subject to an electric force, which direction is the opposite to the direction of the electric field.

This is because the electric field has the same direction that the force on a positive test charge at the same point.

As the electric field points vertically downward, the electric force on the electron (a negative charge) points vertically upward.

So, the statement d. is the one that results to be true.

While playing football, Chris runs 4.5 m at 20⁰ south of west. If an opponent was trying to tackle him how far west and south wo
rewona [7]

Answer:

South = 1.5m

West =4.2m

Explanation:

Kindly see attached a rough draft of the situation

Step one

Given data

From the sketch the direction of the player is along the resultant of the triangle, corresponding to the Hypotenuse

Step two:

Hence for an opponent to tackle him towards the south, he must be at

sin θ= opp/hyp

sin 20=x/4.5

x=sin 20*4.5

x=0.342*4.5

x= 1.5m

Also, for an opponent to tackle him towards the south, he must be at

cos θ= adj/hyp

cos 20=y/4.5

y=cos 20*4.5

y=0.93*4.5

y= 4.2m
