Physics

Ad libitum [116K]3 years ago
5 0

The best answer is b - span.

A span is the distance between two bridge supports The supports may be towers, columns, or even the wall of a canyon.

There are many kinds of bridges  but they all fall into three types namely beam, arch and suspension. The major difference between these three kinds of bridges is the distance that each can cross in  a single span.

For example, a modern beam bridge is likely to span a distance of 200 feet, a modern arch can span 800 or 1000feet,  and a modern suspension bridge can span up to 7000ft.

What is the force of gravitational attraction between an object with a mass of 100 kg and another object that has a mass of 300
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

5 x 10⁻⁷N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of object 1  = 100kg

Mass of object 2 = 300kg

Distance  = 2m

Unknown:

Force of gravitational attraction between the objects  = ?

Solution:

From Newton's law of universal gravitation we derive an expression:

        Fg  = \frac{G m_{1} m_{2}   }{r^{2} }

G is the universal gravitation constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹

m is the mass

r is the distance between the bodies

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

     Fg  = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x \frac{100 x 300}{2^{2} }   = 5 x 10⁻⁷N

What is the difference between a solar cell and a solar panel
dexar [7]

Solar cells and solar panels are both integral, and closely related, parts of a solar energy system. When reading about solar energy systems, it may seem as if these titles are almost interchangeable. Writers refer to them both when discussing energy production and output, and often do so without explanation of how these parts work. However, each plays a distinct role. Solar cells contain all the parts necessary to convert sunlight to electricity. Solar panels combine and direct all of that energy output.
