Maybe because all of them come from natural elements (sun, air and water)

A firefighter with a weight of 707 N slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 2.79 m/s2, directed downward. (a) What

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The vertical force acting on the firefighter = 908.27 N

Explanation:

Force: Force of a body is defined as the product of mass and its acceleration. The S.I unit of force is Newton (N)

The vertical force acting on the firefighter = Force due to the weight of the firefighter + force due to acceleration.

Ft = Fw - Fa

Where Ft = The vertical force acting on the firefighter, Fw = Force due to the weight of the firefighter, Fa = force due to acceleration.

Fw = mg

Making m the subject of formula in the equation above

m = Fw/g................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the firefighter, g = acceleration due to gravity,

Given: Fw = 707 N,

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting these values into eqaution 1

m = 707/9.8

m = 72.14 kg.

But, Fa = ma

Where a = acceleration of the firefighter.

Given: a = 2.79 m/s², 

And m = 72.14 kg

Fa = 72.14 × 2.79

Fa = 201.27 N

Therefore, Ft = 707 + 201.27 = 908.27 N

Ft = 908.27 N

The vertical force acting on the firefighter = 908.27 N

A pan hangs from a 50 cm spring. When a 10 kg mass is placed in the pan, it stretches the spring 6 cm. What is a function rule l

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

A Spring stretches / compresses when force is applied on them and they are governed by the Hookes Law which states that the force required to stretch or compress a spring is directly proportional to the distance it is stretched.

$F = -kx$

F is the force applied and x is the elongation of the spring

k is the spring constant.

negative sign indicates the change in direction from equilibrium position.

In the given question, we dont have force but we know that the pan is hanging. We also know from the Newton's second law of motion that

$F=mg$

Inserting this into Hooke's Law

$mg=-kx$

computing it for x,

$-x=mg/k$

This is the model which will tell the length of the spring against change in the mass located in the pan.

Being able to see a square in the middle of the image despite not having lines to form a square represents the Gestalt principle

vredina [299]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is -

C. closure.

Gestalt principle of closure describes how we perceive complete figures even when the information that form the figure is missing.

This is due the fact that our brain responds to the familiar patterns inspite of getting incomplete information.

For instance, in the given question, we are able to perceive an image of square in the center despite not having actual lines that form a square.

Thus, it represents principle of closure.
