Answer:

539 N

Explanation:

Fg = mg

Step 1: Define

Fg = ?

m = 55.0 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate

Fg = 55.0 kg(9.8 m/s²)

Fg = 539 N

A wire of resistance R is cut into ten equal parts which are then connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance of the combin

Greeley [361]

Answer:

The equivalent resistance of the combination is R/100

Explanation:

Electric Resistance

The electric resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length. If a wire of resistance R is cut into 10 equal parts, then each part has a resistance of R/10.

Parallel connection of resistances: If R1, R2, R3,...., Rn are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance is calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}+...+\frac{1}{R_n}$

If we have 10 wires of resistance R/10 each and connect them in parallel, the equivalent resistance is:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R/10}+\frac{1}{R/10}+\frac{1}{R/10}...+\frac{1}{R/10}$

This sum is repeated 10 times. Operating each term:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{10}{R}+\frac{10}{R}+\frac{10}{R}+...+\frac{10}{R}$

All the terms have the same denominator, thus:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=10\frac{10}{R}=\frac{100}{R}$

Taking the reciprocals:

$R_e=R/100$

The equivalent resistance of the combination is R/100

Rogue waves are created along the "Wild Coast" off the southeast coast of ________, where the Agulhas Current flows directly aga

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Africa

Explanation:

A rogue wave refers to the wave that is twice the height of a significant wave occurring in a particular area. The significant wave height is generally referred to as the mean of the largest one-third of waves existing at a particular time period. In simple words, a rogue wave is much larger than any other waves that occur at the proximity of the same time.

This rough wave describes the interaction between the ocean and sea current and swelling of waves. It takes place when the large swells in the ocean, also known as the Antarctic storms, strikes with the rapidly traveling Agulhas current, and the curved water current focuses on the energy of the waves.

Thus, these Rogue waves are often generated along the southeastern coastal regions of Africa, where there occurs the convergence of Antarctic storm waves and Agulhas Current.

How does the balloon react to the cloth item?

almond37 [142]

Answer: When rubbing a balloon with a wool cloth, it puts negative charges on the balloon. Negative charges attract to positive charges. If a balloon is not rubbed with the wool cloth, it has an equal amount of negative to positive charges, so it will attract to a rubbed balloon.

Un vas plin cu lichid cântăreşte 175kg. Ceea ce reprezintă de 5 ori masa vasului gol. Ştiind că volumul interior al vasului este

Mariana [72]

a) Density of the liquid: $823.5kg/m^3$

b) Weight of the liquid: 1372 N

Explanation:

Translation of the text:

"A full tank with liquid weighs 175kg. Which is 5 times the mass of the empty vessel. Knowing that the inside volume of the vessel is 0.17kl, calculate:

a) the density of the liquid;

b) the weight of the liquid."

We know that the full tank with liquid has a total mass of M = 175 kg. We can write the total mass as

$M=m_L + m_V$ (1)

where

$m_L$ is the mass of the liquid

$m_V$ is the mass of the vessel

We also know that the total mass M is 5 times the mass of the empty vessel, so we have:

$M=5m_V\\m_V=\frac{M}{5}=\frac{175}{5}=35 kg$

which is the mass of the empty vessel.

Therefore, we can find the mass of the liquid only using (1):

$m_L=M-m_V=175-35=140 kg$

The density of the liquid is given by

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

where

m = 140 kg (mass of the liquid)

V = 0.170 kL = 170 L = $0.170 m^3$ (volume of the liquid, which is equal to the volume of the vessel)

So we get

$d=\frac{140}{0.170}=823.5kg/m^3$

The weight of a body is given by

$F=mg$

where

m is its mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

For the liquid in this problem, we have

m = 140 kg (mass)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration due to gravity)

Therefore, its weight is

$F=(140)(9.8)=1372 N$
