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

What is the magnitude of the sum of the two vectors A = 36 units at 53 degrees, and B =47 units at 157 degrees.
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

51.82

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert both vectors to cartesian coordinates:

Va = 36 < 53° = (36*cos(53), 36*sin(53))

Va = (21.67, 28.75)

Vb = 47 < 157° = (47*cos(157), 47*sin(157))

Vb = (-43.26, 18.36)

The sum of both vectors will be:

Va+Vb = (-21.59, 47.11)   Now we will calculate the module of this vector:

|Va+Vb| = \sqrt{(-21.59)^2+(47.11)^2}=51.82

During each cycle, a refrigerator ejects 610 kJ of energy to a high-temperature reservoir, and takes in 505 kJ of energy from a
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer

A. the work done on the refrigerant in each cycle is 105kJ

B the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator is 4.8

Explanation

Given data

Work done at high temperature T2 Qh=610kJ

Work done at low temperature T1 Ql=505kJ

We know that the net work done by the refrigerator is expressed as

Wnet= Qh-Ql

=610-505

=105kJ

Also we know that the coefficient of performance is expressed as

COP= Ql/Wnet

COP= 505/105

= 4.8

Suppose Earth's gravitational force were decreased by half. How would this change affect a game of basketball? Write a paragraph
timama [110]
If the gravitational force were<span> decreased by half, there would be lack of gravity on earth. Hence, it would basically affect the velocity, speed, and the distance travelled in any direction by basketball players and the ball. The basketball would bounce higher and come down in a slower speed. Whereas for the players, they would be able to leap higher from the floor.</span><span> </span>

1. Driving at slower speeds than traffic flow _____________ .
r-ruslan [8.4K]

<u>The correct option is (D). The strength of electric field depends on the amount of charge that produces the field as well as the distance from the charge. </u>

<u> </u>

Further Explanation:

The electric field intensity at a point is the measure of the force exerted by a charge particle on another charge particle in the particular area of its strength.

The electric field intensity at a distance d due to a static charge having charge q is directly proportional to the amount of charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

The Electric field intensity due to a charge is given as:

E = \dfrac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}\frac{q}{{{r^2}}}

Here, E is the electric field intensity, q is the amount of charge and r is the distance of the charge from the point.

The above expression of electric field shows that the electric field intensity at a point depends on the amount of charge as well as the distance of the point from the charge.

<u>Thus, the correct option is (D). The strength of electric field depends on the amount of charge that produces the field as well as the distance from the charge. </u>
