Weight is a really important factor in military applications. tanks need light durable and these days intelligent armour systems. most armoured personel carriers only have aluminium walls. Tanks these days have reactive armour and laser systems to neutralise incomming threats, rather than just relying on heavy armour.

It's nighttime, and you've dropped your goggles into a 3.2-mm-deep swimming pool. If you hold a laser pointer 1.1 mm above the e
Savatey [412]

Answer: 5.30m

Explanation:

depth of pool = 3.2 m

i = 67.75°

Using snell's law, we have,

n₁ × sin(i) = n₂ × 2 × sin(r)

n₁ = 1, n₂ =1.33, r= 44.09°

Hence,

Distance of Google from edge if pool is:

2.2 + d×tan(r) = 2.2 + (3.2 × tan(44.09°) =5.30m

1. Nucleic acids.  Examples are DNA and RNA

2. Protein. Examples are enzymes and hemoglobin

3. Carbohydrates. Examples as starch and glycogen

4. Lipids. Examples are triglycerides and phospholipids

The building blocks of nucleic acids are called bases and there are four types known as Guanine, Adenine, Thymine and Cytosine.

The building blocks of carbohydrates are glucose molecules.

The building blocks of protein are amino acids.

The building blocks of lipids are a combination of fatty acids and glycerol.

An 800-N billboard worker stands on a 4.0-m scaffold weighing 500 N and supported by vertical ropes at each end. How far would t
Lynna [10]

Answer:

2.5 m

Explanation:

Weight of billboard worker = 800 N

Number of ropes = 2

Length of scaffold = 4 m

Weight of scaffold = 500 N

Tension in rope = 550 N

The sum of the torques will be

-800(4-x)-500\times 2+550\times 4=0\\\Rightarrow -800(4-x)=500\times 2-550\times 4\\\Rightarrow -800(4-x)=-1200\\\Rightarrow -x=\dfrac{1200}{800}-4\\\Rightarrow -x=-2.5\\\Rightarrow x=2.5\ m

The position of the person will be 2.5 m

In a choir practice room, two parallel walls are 5.70 m apart. The singers stand against the north wall. The organist faces the
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

4.98 m

Explanation:

Given that

Width of the mirror, d = 0.6 m

Organist distance to the mirror, s = 0.78 m

Distance between the singer and the organist, S = 5.7 + 0.78 = 6.48 m

Width of north wall, D?

Using the simple relationship

D/S = d/s, on rearranging

D = dS /s

D = (0.6 * 6.48) / 0.78

D = 3.888 / 0.78

D = 4.98 m

Therefore, we can conclude that the Width of north wall is 4.98 m
