Answer:

D. 196 N

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on an object located at the Earth's surface is given by:

F=mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem:

- m=20 kg is the mass of the object

- g = 9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity at Earth's surface

Substituting these data into the formula, we get

F=(20 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=196.2 N \sim 196 N

The winning time for a 500.0 mile circular race track was 3 hours and
lyudmila [28]

Explanation:

We have,

Distance traveled in a circular track is 500 miles

The winning time was 3 hours and  13 minutes. It means time is 3.217 hours.

The driver's average speed is given by total distance divided by total time taken. Its formula can be written as :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500\ miles}{3.217\ h}\\\\v=155.42\ mph

At the end of the race, the driver reaches the point form where he has started. It means the displacement of the driver is equal to 0. Hence, driver's average velocity is equal to 0.

A Carnot engine operates between temperature levels of 600 K and 300 K. It drives a Carnot refrigerator, which provides cooling
KATRIN_1 [288]

Explanation:

Formula for maximum efficiency of a Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

      \frac{W}{Q_{H_{1}}} = \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}} ..... (1)

And, formula for maximum efficiency of Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

     \frac{W}{Q_{C_{2}}} = \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}} ...... (2)

Now, equating both equations (1) and (2) as follows.

 Q_{C_{2}} \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}} = Q_{H_{1}} \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}}        

        \gamma = \frac{Q_{C_{2}}}{Q_{H_{1}}}

                    = \frac{T_{C_{2}}}{T_{H_{1}}} (\frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}})

                    = \frac{250}{600} (\frac{(600 - 300)K}{300 K - 250 K})

                    = 2.5

Thus, we can conclude that the ratio of heat extracted by the refrigerator ("cooling load") to the heat delivered to the engine ("heating load") is 2.5.

Sound waves cannot travel in
julsineya [31]

Answer:

The answer is D.  A Vacumn

Explanation:

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum. A vacuum is an area without any air, like space. So sound cannot travel through space because there is no matter for the vibrations to work in.
