<h3>Answer;</h3>

Kilogram

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Mass is the quantity of matter in an object or a body. Mass is measured using units such as milligrams, grams, kilograms, etc.
Choosing an appropriate unit is key so as other units may either give very small or very large number value and thus making it difficult to estimate the magnitude of the quantity if inappropriate units are used.
The most appropriate units to measure the mass of a person would therefore be kilograms.

Answer: Trough can lift the 403,342 ton pioneering spirit crane vessel 10 meters in 30 seconds as if it was a cork. This about 36 GJ if work and 1 GW of power.

Explanation:

Why trough?

Trough is the correct answer because pioneering scale usually abide only on trough not on the other given options. A long , narrow depression between the waves or ridges is known as a trough. The lower point in the period is the trough.

Speed -: Speed is the distance per unit of time that a body moves. It's a quantity scaler that has just magnitude.
Wave energy -: The transmission and capture of energy by ocean surface waves is wave energy (or wave power). The energy collected is then used for all sorts of useful work, including the generation of electricity, water desalination, and water pumping.
Crest -: A crest point within a cycle on a wave with the highest value of upward displacement. A crest is a point on a surface wave where the medium's displacement is at its height.
Amplitude -: The maximum displacement or distance measured from its equilibrium position, moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave, is called amplitude. It is equal to half of the vibration path's length.
Period-: The duration T is the time needed to pass a given point for one complete cycle of vibration. The wave length decreases as the frequency of a wave increases.
Wavelength-: The distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave can be described as the wavelength. The frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. This implies that the longer the wavelength, the smaller the frequency. Similarly, the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency would be.
Frequency -: Frequency defines the number of waves in a given amount of time that travel through a fixed location. In the Hertz unit, frequency is normally measured.
Information -: A piece of data is a basic fact about the identity or properties of an object, i.e. a portion of its example.
Milli -: Milli is known as a merged form meaning 'thousand' (millipede) used in the metric system for unit names equal to one thousandth of the base unit (millimeter) given.

Hence , the answer is TROUGH.

What water pressure must a pump that is located on the first floor supply to have water on the thirteenth of a building with a p

irga5000 [103]

The water pressure on the first floor must be 455 PSI in order to push the water to the 13th floor at the given pressure.

The given parameters;

Pressure on the 13 th floor, P₁ = 35 PSI
Distance between each floor, d = 10 ft

The vertical pressure of the water is calculated as follows;

$P = \rho gh\\\\\frac{P}{h} = \rho g\\\\\frac{P}{h} = k\\\\\frac{P_1}{h_1} = \frac{P_2}{h_2} \\\\$

The vertical height of the first floor from the 13th floor = 130 ft

The vertical height of the 13 ft floor = 10 ft

$P_1 = \frac{P_2 h_1}{h_2} \\\\P_1 = \frac{35 \times 130}{10} \\\\P_1 = 455 \ PSI$

Thus, the water pressure on the first floor must be 455 PSI in order to push the water to the 13th floor at the given pressure.

a concrete slab 20 m long and weighing 400,000 N is supported by one pillar. A 19,600 N car is parked 8 meters from one end, whe

Elden [556K]

let the distance of pillar is "r" from one end of the slab

So here net torque must be balance with respect to pillar to be in balanced state

So here we will have

$Mg(r - L/2) = mg(L/2 - 8)$

here we know that

mg = 19600 N

Mg = 400,000 N

L = 20 m

from above equation we have

$400,000(r - 10) = 19,600 (10 - 8)$

$r - 10 = 0.098$

$r = 10.098 m$

so pillar is at distance 10.098 m from one end of the slab

Charge Q is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an insulating sphere of radius R = 4.00 cm. At a distance of r = 8.00

Elena L [17]

Answer:

$2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

$1979.99974\ N/C$

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Q = Charge

r = Distance = 8 cm

R = Radius = 4 cm

Electric field is given by

$E=\dfrac{kQ}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{990\times 0.08^2}{8.99\times 10^{9}}\\\Rightarrow Q=7.04783\times 10^{-10}\ C$

Volume charge density is given by

$\sigma=\dfrac{Q}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=\dfrac{7.04783\times 10^{-10}}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (0.04)^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

The volume charge density for the sphere is $2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

$E=\dfrac{kQr}{R^3}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 7.04783\times 10^{-10}\times 0.02}{0.04^3}\\\Rightarrow E=1979.99974\ N/C$

The magnitude of the electric field is $1979.99974\ N/C$

Describe in a couple sentences how the index of refraction is related to the speed of light?

lesantik [10]

Answer: n = c / v" "c" is the speed of light in a vacuum, "v" is the speed of light in that substance and "n" is the index of refraction. According to the formula, the index of refraction is the relation between the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in a substance.

Explanation: the relation is the vacuum and the speed of light in a substance.
