Because weight is a force, and the SI unit of force is the Newton.

A uniform bridge, 20 m long and weighing 40000 N is supported by two pillars located 3.0 m from each end. If a 19600 N car is pa
vodomira [7]

Let the forces on two pillars are N1 and N2

so we will have force balance equation as

N_1 + N_2 = 40000 + 19600

N_1 + N_2 = 59600 N

also by torque balance we will have

N_2\times L = 40000 ]times \frac{L}{2} + 19600 \times 8

here we know that

L = 20 m

N_2 (20 m) = 40000 (10 m) + 19600 (8 m)

N_2 = 27840 N

N_1 = 59600 - 27840 = 31760 N

A good soccer player can kick the ball up to 25 m/sec. A soccer ball has a mass of 800 grams (0.8 kg). What force must a goalie
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

200 N

Explanation:

Applying,

The force a golie must exert on the ball is,

F = ma...................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the ball, a = acceleration of the ball.

But,

a = Δv/t............... Equation 2

Where Δv = change in velocity, t = time.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(Δv/t)............... Equation 3

From the question,

Given: m = 0.8 g, t = 0.1 s, Δv = 25 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 3

F = 0.8×25/0.1

F = 200 N

A 0.0780 kg lemming runs off a 5.36 m high cliff at 4.84 m/s. what is its potential energy (PE) when it is 2.00 m above the grou
IceJOKER [234]

The potential energy is 4.10 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body is given by

U=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

For the lemming in this problem we have

m = 0.078 kg is its mass

h = 5.36 m is the height above the ground

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving the equation,

U=(0.078)(9.8)(5.36)=4.10 J

How can volcanic eruptions contribute to global climate change?
Gennadij [26K]

In 1784, Benjamin Franklin made what may have been the first connection between volcanoes and global climate while stationed in Paris as the first diplomatic representative of the United States of America. He observed that during the summer of 1783, the climate was abnormally cold, both in Europe and back in the U.S. The ground froze early, the first snow stayed on the ground without melting, the winter was more severe than usual, and there seemed to be "a constant fog over all Europe, and [a] great part of North America."
