Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a) 2.7 m/s²

b) -3.6 m/s²

Explanation:

Data

mass of the toolbox = 3.2 kg

a = ?

F = 40 N and F = 20 N

g = 9.81 m/s²

Formula

Second law of motion = F = ma

                              a + g = F / m

                              a = F/m - g

a)                            a = 40/3.2 - 9.81

                              a = 2.69 ≈ 2.7 m/s²   positive up

b)                            a = 20/ 3.2 - 9.81

                              a = 6.25 - 9.81

                                  = - 3.56 ≈ - 3.6 m/s²  negative down

Determine a valid way of finding the wire’s diameter if you know the resistivity of the material, \rho , and can measure the cur
olganol [36]

Answer:

To find the diameter of the wire, when the following are given:

Resistivity of the material (Rho), Current flowing in the conductor, I, Potential difference across the conductor ends, V, and length of the wire/conductor, L.

Using the ohm's law,

Resistance R = (rho*L)/A

R = V/I.

Crossectional area of the wire A = π*square of radius

Radius = sqrt(A/π)

Diameter = Radius/2 = [sqrt(A/π)]

Making A the subject of the formular

A = (rho* L* I)V.

From the result of A, Diameter can be determined using

Diameter = [sqrt(A/π)]/2. π is a constant with the value 22/7

Explanation:

Error and uncertainty can be measured varying the value of the parameters used and calculating different values of the diameters. Compare the values using standard deviation

How can a simple machine lift a heavy load with smaller effort​
solniwko [45]

Answer:

The axle is fixed to a frame or a block. The pulley is normally fixed to a support above the load. The load is tied to one end of the rope and the effort is applied at the other end. Such a pulley makes our work easier by simply changing the direction of the force, i.e. a load is lifted up using a downward effort.

May be this will help U

Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 13.0 cm. what is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r
zysi [14]
First, let's calculate the frequency of this radiation, which is given by:
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}
where c is the speed of light and \lambda is the photon wavelength. For this radiation, photons have wavelength of
\lambda=13.0 cm=0.13 m
Therefore their frequency is
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{0.13 m}=2.3\cdot 10^9 Hz

The energy of a photon with frequency f is given by
E=hf
where h is the Planck constant. By using the frequency we found before, we find the energy of a single photon of this radiation:
E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js)(2.3 \cdot 10^9 Hz)=1.52 \cdot 10^{-24} J
