A ship needs an anchor because if a ship stop its just going to float around the ocean, but if the ship has the anchor then the ship will stay in place.

A hiker is at the bottom of a canyon facing the canyon wall closest to her. She is 790.5 meters from the wall and the sound of h
tester [92]

Answer:

4.80 seconds

Explanation:

The velocity of sound is obtained from;

V= 2d/t

Where;

V= velocity of sound = 329.2 ms-1

d= distance from the wall = 790.5 m

t= time = the unknown

t= 2d/V

t= 2 × 790.5/ 329.2

t= 4.80 seconds

Reading the temperature of a solution by using a thermometer is an example of a(n) ________.
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

B. Observation

Explanation:

Using a thermometer to read the temperature of a solution is tantamount to the making an observation.

Observation are recorded using our senses of sight, taste, earing, feeling etc or by the use of instrument.

  • Through observation, data is usually collected to make inferences about an experiment.
  • An observation leads to the formulation of a hypothesis which is scientific guess that leads to experimental designs.
  • Conclusions are drawn from the information of data obtained from an experiment.

a body of mass 0.2kg is whirled round a horizontal circle by a string inclined at 30 degrees to the vertical calculate <br /&
Katen [24]

Answer:

a)  T = 2.26 N, b) v = 1.68 m / s

Explanation:

We use Newton's second law

Let's set a reference system where the x-axis is radial and the y-axis is vertical, let's decompose the tension of the string

        sin 30 = \frac{T_x}{T}

        cos 30 = \frac{T_y}{T}

        Tₓ = T sin 30

        T_y = T cos 30

Y axis  

       T_y -W = 0

       T cos 30 = mg                     (1)

X axis

        Tₓ = m a

they relate it is centripetal

        a = v² / r

we substitute

         T sin 30 = m\frac{v^2}{r}            (2)

a) we substitute in 1

         T = \frac{mg }{cos 30}

         T = \frac{ 0.2 \ 9.8}{cos  \ 30}

         T = 2.26 N

b) from equation 2

           v² = \frac{T \ sin 30 \ r}{m}

If we know the length of the string

          sin 30 = r / L

          r = L sin 30

we substitute

          v² = \frac{ T \ sin 30 \ L \ sin 30}{m}

          v² = \frac{TL \ sin^2  30}{m}

For the problem let us take L = 1 m

let's calculate

          v = \sqrt{ \frac{2.26 \ 1 \ sin^230}{0.2} }

          v = 1.68 m / s

The forces in (Figure 1) are acting on a 1.0 kg object.What is ax , the x -component of the object's acceleration
a_sh-v [17]

The x -component of the object's acceleration is 2 m/s².

<h3>What's the resultant force along x- direction?</h3>
  • Forces along x axis direction are as follows
  1. 4N along +x axis, so it's taken as +4 N
  2. 2N along -x axis , so it's taken as -2N.
  • Resultant force along x direction = 4N - 2N = 2 N which is along + ve x direction.

<h3>What's the acceleration along x axis direction?</h3>
  • As per Newton's second law, Force = mass × acceleration of the object
  • Force along x axis= mass × acceleration along x axis= 2N
  • Acceleration = 2/ mass = 2/1 = 2 m/s²

Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration along x axis is 2 m/s².

Please help with these questions as well! I need urgent help! I will give brainliest! God bless!
Radda [10]

6.  Since we are not sure if the person in the question is actively lifting the crate, we have to determine the downwards force of the crate due to gravity and compare it to the normal force.  

F = ma

F = (15.3)(-9.8)

F = -150N

Since the downwards force of the crate is equivalent to the normal force, it means the person is applying no force in picking up the object.  So to pick up a 150N object from scratch, you would have to exert more force than the weight of the object, so the answer is 294N.


7.  Same idea as question 2.  

First determine the weight of the object:

F = ma

F = (30)(-9.8)

F = -294N

The crate in question is not moving, so the magnitudes of the forces in the upwards and downwards direction has to equal to 0.

-294 + 150N + x = 0

x = 144N  

So the person is exerting 144 N.


10.  First find the force of block B to the right due to its acceleration:

F = ma

F = (24)(0.5)

F = 12N

So block B is moving 12N to the right relative to block A due to block A's movement to the left.  However, block A is being applied a much greater force and is moving quicker to the left than block B is moving to the right of bock A.  The force that is causing block B to experience the lower relative force to the right is because of the friction.  To find the friction:

The sum of the forces in the leftward and rightward direction for block B must equal 12N.

75 - x = 12

x = 63N

So the force of friction of block A on block B is 63N to the left.
