What is the approximate weight of a 20-kg cannonball on earth

Physics

Answer:

196 N

Explanation:

The weight of an object is given by

W=mg

where m is the mass of the object, and g is the gravitational acceleration on the planet.

In this example, we have an object with mass m=20 kg, and the value of the acceleration due to gravity on Earth is g=9.81 m/s^2, therefore if we use the above equation we find the weight of the cannonball:

W=mg=(20 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=196 N

Sonar is used to map the ocean floor. if an ultrasonic signal is received 3.3 s after it is emitted, how deep is the ocean floor
Goryan [66]
The speed of sound in fresh water is 1482m/s. 
It says ocean floor, so we should a little bit more accurate, and use the fact that the speed of sound in salt water (that has no bubbles) is 1560m/s. 
speed = distance / time 
Therefore Distance = speed x time = 1560 x 3.3 = 5158m 
The sonar wave is sent out by the boat, reflected off the seafloor, and then is received back at the boat on the surface. So the distance 5148m is the distance from the boat to the sea bottom and then back up to the boat again. 
So the depth of the water is half this distance Depth of water = 5148/2=2574m

What are the first two steps for finding the magnitude of the resultant vector?
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

In the analytical method,

  1. Resolve the vectors into the perpendicular components of the Cartesian coordinates.
  2. Calculate the magnitude of the resultant vector using the Pythagoras theorem.

Explanation:

  • There are two methods to find the magnitude of the resultant vector.
  • One is the geometrical method and the other one is the analytical method.
  • In the geometrical method, all the vectors are connected the head to tail with the appropriate magnitude and the resultant vector is obtained by joining the initial point and the final point by a vector in the reverse direction. The magnitude of the resultant vector is given by the length of the line.
  • In the analytical method, all the vectors are resolved into the perpendicular components.
  • Using Pythagoras theorem, the magnitude of the resultant vector can be obtained
  • If A and B are the two vectors forming an angle ∅ between them, then the magnitude of the resultant vector is given by the formula

                            R=\sqrt{A^{2}+B^{2}+2ABcos\phi}

How are magnets used in modern technology?
slava [35]
Magnets are used to make a tight seal on the doors to refrigerators and freezers. They power speakers in stereos, earphones, and televisions. Magnets are used to store data in computers, and are important in scanning machines called MRIs (magnetic resonance imagers), which doctors use to look inside people's bodies.
