Physics
1 answer:
pentagon [3]3 years ago
8 0

<u>Answer</u>

Fossils are remains from animals and plants. They are embedded in rock and preserved in petrified form.

In a fossil fuels power plant carbon fuels such as oil, coal and gas are burnt to generate steam that are used to turn large turbines that generate electricity.

These turbines turn magnetic fields inside conductor inducing a large current in them.

Fossils fuels are much reliable as they can be used for a long period of time.

How can we describe, model, and explain the material world, and are there limitations?
taurus [48]

Answer:· A model is a description of natural phenomenon that scientists can use to make predictions. A good model is both as accurate as possible and as simple as possible, which makes it not only powerful but also easy to understand. However, no matter how good they are, models will almost always have limitations.

The y-component of the force F which a person exerts on the handle of the box wrench is known to be 86 lb. Determine the x-compo
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

x-component of force is  38.18 lb where as magnitude of Force is 93.16

Explanation:

Fy of the force F exerted on the handle of the box wrench = 86 lb

Considering the triangle in Fig 1

magnitude of perpendicular = P =  12

magnitude of base = B = 5

using Pythagoras theorem

                        H= \sqrt{P^{2} + B^{2}}

                 H= \sqrt{12^{2} + 5^{2}}

            H=13\\\implies cos \theta = \frac{5}{13} \\\implies sin \theta = \frac{12}{13}\\

y-component of force is given given as:

                              86 = Fsin\theta\\F = 86 (\frac{13}{12})\\F = 93.16 lb\\F_{x} =F cos \theta\\F_{x} = 93.16 (\frac{5}{13})\\F_{x} =38.18 lb.
