If you push hard enough to make a scale read 9 pounds, that is about 40 Newtons. So Newtons are a smaller unit... True or False

Physics

True.

Why?

To know if the statement is true or false, we just need to use the following convertion factor:

1lb(force)=4.44N

or

1N=0.22lbf

Now, converting from pounds to Newtons, we have:

9lb*\frac{4.44N}{1lb}=39.96lb=40lb

Hence, the statement is true.

Have a nice day!

Of the three types of radiation listed below, which is the least penetrating and which is the most penetrating? -alpha -beta -ga
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Alpha is the least penetrating radiation listed below.

Gamma is the most penetrating radiation in the given list.

These rays can be used to detect cancer, sterilizing the medical instrument, smoke detector, etc.

Radiation emitted from the radioactive elements also have very harmful. They affect the living being a lot. Waste from the nuclear reactor also contains harmful radiation which causes Land pollution if not disposed of properly.

A hopper jumps straight up to a height of 1.3 m. With what velocity did he leave the floor
xxMikexx [17]

The velocity with which the jumper leaves the floor is 5.1 m/s.

<h3>What is the initial velocity of the jumper?</h3>

The initial velocity of the jumper or the velocity with which the jumper leaves the floor is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of energy as shown below.

Kinetic energy of the jumper at the floor = Potential energy of the jumper at the maximum height

¹/₂mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

where;

  • v is the initial velocity of the jumper on the floor
  • h is the maximum height reached by the jumper
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 1.3)

v = 5.1 m/s
