Scientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. Calculations indicate that the en

tire structure would sink by a certain amount for every additional floor that is added. If the maximum permissible limit for depression of the structure is 20 centimeters, how many floors can be safely added to the building?

Answer:

C. 18

Explanation:

Hi, you haven't provided the depression per floor so I'll explain to you how to do it for a given depression/floor and you can extend it to your problem by applying the same steps. Since each additional floor generates a constant depression the depression generated for one floor (depression/floor) multiply by the number of extra floors will give you the total depression:

(depression per floor)*(number of floors added) = Total depression

Because the maximum depression accepted is 20 cm:

(depression per floor)*(number of floors added) < 20 cm

If the depression per floor is one centimeter:

1 cm * (number of floors added) < 20 cm

number of floors added < 20 cm

For this example, the answer would be 18 floors because is the maximum number of floors, in the list of options, that doesn't contradict the inequality (18 cm < 20 cm)

<h2>Number of Floors</h2>

Thus each supplementary level will obtain the construction of tub with x so make the unit "cm".  It can be x cm. Presently we understand that the highest cavity is 20 cm, and it is also x*y, where y is the number of floors. Consequently, we possess x*y=20 since the number of floors is:

20/x  =

A 0.2 kg plastic cart and a 20 kg lead cart both roll without friction on a horizontal surface. Equal forces are used to push bo
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Equal

Explanation:

The impulse theorem states that the impulse exerted on each cart is equal to the change in momentum of the cart:

I=\Delta p=p_f -p_i

where

I is the impulse

pf is the final momentum

pi is the initial momentum

The impulse is equal to the product between the force applied and the contact time:

I=F\Delta t

In this case, the force applied to the two carts (F) is the same, and the contact time (\Delta t) is the same as well. Therefore, the impulse exerted on the two carts is the same.

Moreover, the initial momentum of the two carts is also the same (zero, because they start from rest: p_i=0). So the formula becomes

p_f = I

And since I is the same for the two carts, the final momentum (p_f) will also be equal.

Why is newton's first law of motion sometimes called the lae of inertia?
Masja [62]
Newton's 1st law of motion states that <span>an object at rest stays at rest and an object in uniform motion along a straight line stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. 
This law talks about the tendency of an object to resist any change in its state of rest or uniform motion, this is called Inertia. Thus Newton's 1st law of motion is also called the Law of Inertia</span>

What is the minimum number of 100 Ohm resistors that you need to design an effective resistor with 275 Ohm resistance.
jekas [21]

Answer:

The minimum number of 100 Ω resistors that i need to design an effective resistor with 275Ω resistance are 8 resistors.

Explanation:

(2 Resistors of 100Ω in parallel) in <u>series with</u> (4 resistors of 100Ω in parallel) in <u>series</u> with 2 resistors of 100Ω.

2 resistors in parallel of 100Ω = 50Ω

+

4 resistors in parallel of 100Ω = 25Ω

+

2 resistors in series of 100 2Ω = 200Ω

=

275Ω
