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

How many photons with 10 ev are required to produce 20 joules of energy?
oee [108]
One electron Volt (eV) is equal to 1.6 x 10^-19 Joules. Therefore, 10 eV is equal to 1.6 x 10^-18 Joules. In order to produce 20 Joules of energy from 10 eV photons, we would require 20 x 1/(1.6  x 10^-18) = 1.25 x 10^19 particles. This demonstrates that in the world of particle physics, the Joule is a massive energy unit relative to the commonly used electron Volt.

Answer:

Illusory correlation

Explanation:

Illusory correlation is a psychological phenomenon of sensing a correlation or relationship between a particular quantity and other variables however unrelated the two variables may be. A person may establish such connections, which are indeed false connections, as a result of over emphasis on novel incidents that are easily noticed due to them being salient

For example, when a waiter at a restaurant is being rude to a person after the person was made to walk under a ladder due to ongoing construction.

A bird is flying due east. Its distance from a tall building is given by x(t) = 28.0 m + (12.4 m/s)t – (0.0450 m/s3)t3. What is
Kruka [31]

Answer:

3.76 m/s

Explanation:

Instantaneous velocity: This can be defined as the velocity of an object in a non uniform motion. The S.I unit is m/s.

v' = dx(t)/dt..................... Equation 1

Where v' = instantaneous velocity, x = distance, t = time.

Given the expression,

x(t) = 28.0 m + (12.4 m/s)t - (0.0450 m/s³)t³

x(t) = 28 + 12.4t - 0.0450t³

Differentiating x(t) with respect to t.

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 0.135t²

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 0.135t²

When t = 8.00 s.

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 0.135(8)²

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 8.64

dx(t)/dt = 3.76 m/s.

Therefore,

v' = 3.76 m/s.

Hence, the instantaneous velocity = 3.76 m/s

The spherical annulus of cometary nuclei surrounding the solar system is called the ___.
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Oort Cloud

Explanation:

  • Hundreds of millions of comet nuclei forming a spherical region that surrounds the solar system is called Oort cloud.
  • The Oort cloud revolves at tens of thousands of the distance of the earth from the sun.
  • Comets are the condensed water and dust particles that orbit around the sun with inward helix leaving behind a tail of vapours and vaporize completely as they get closer to the sun during their revolution around it.
  • They have a nebulous appearance and extremely elongated orbits.
