Answer:

F = 852 N

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law to the trailer :

F = m*a   Formula (1)

F : net force exerted by the truck on the trailer Newtons (N)

m : mass of the trailer in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration of the trailer in meters over second square (m/s²)

Data

a=1.20 m/s² : acceleration of the trailer

m=710 kg : mass of the trailer

We replace data in the   Formula (1)  to calculate the net force exerted by the truck on the trailer

F = (710 kg)*(1.20 m/s²)

F = 852 N

A cup of water is warmed from 21 °C to 85 °C. What is the difference between these two temperatures, in kelvins?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

337k

Explanation:

First, let us find the difference between the given two temperatures.

Difference = 85°C - 21°C

                  = 64°C

<u>And now we have to write the temperature in kelvins.</u>

To convert Celcius to Kelvins you can add 273 to the temperature in Celcius.

<u>Let us find it now.</u>

64°C + 273 = 337k

Therefore,

64°C ⇒ <u>337k</u>

A water balloon is dropped out of a fifth floor window and hits an unsuspecting person below 4.0 seconds later. The window is ap
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

80 meters high

Explanation:

The velocity of the balloon would be g*t (I won't calculate, but will us this later)

We know that the kinetic energy at the bottom equals the potential at the top.

KE = PE

1/2 * m * v^2 = m * g * h

1/2 * m * (g * t)^2 = m * g * h (substitution)

1/2 * m * g^2 * t^2 = m * g * h

1/2 * g * t^2 = h (simplification by dividing the commons between both sides)

h = 1/2 * 9.81 * 4^2

h = 78.48 m (roughly 80 m)

Electromagnetic radiation behaves both as particles (called photons) and as waves. Wavelength (λ) and frequency (ν) are related

<h2>Answer: 136.363 m</h2>

Explanation:

We can find the wavelength of the radiation produced by the microwave oven by using the following given equation:

c=\lambda.\nu   (1)

Clearing \lambda :

\lambda=\frac{c}{\nu}   (2)

Knowing \nu=2.20 GHz=2.20(10)^{6}Hz=2.20(10)^{6}s^{-1}

\lambda=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{2.20(10)^{6}s^{-1}}   (3)

\lambda=136.363m This is the wavelength of the radiation produced by the microwave
