Scales give forces, F, that we convert to masses (m) using the relationship for the force of gravity F = m g. You have m = 42.53N / 9.83 m/s = mass in kg. Divide and conquer.

42.53/9.83 = 4.3265.... = 4.3

What is space time?

Kay [80]

In physics, spacetime is any mathematical model which fuses the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional manifold. Spacetime diagrams can be used to visualize relativistic effects, such as why different observers perceive where and when events occur differently.

Tom says that insulation keeps out the cold. Explain why this statement is incorrect. What should Tom have said?

Zina [86]

There is no such thing as"cold", in the same way that there is no such thing
as "darkness" or "quietness". "Darkness" is the absence of light, "quietness"
is the absence of sound, and "cold" is the absence of heat.

If a bullet travels at 593.0 m/s, what is its speed in miles per hour?

Ksenya-84 [330]

We have $1 \; mile = 1609.34\; meters$ . So, $1 \; meter = \frac{1}{1609.34} \;mile$ .

$1 \; hour = 3600 \; s$ . So $1 \; s = \frac{1}{3600} \; hour$ .

Thus we can convert the units of the given quantity.

That is,

$593\;m/s=593\;\frac{1/1609.34}{1/3600} \;miles/hour\\
593\;m/s=1,326.51\;miles/hour$ .

The quantity is converted to the required units.

Answer:

You're four sentences should include about how the roller coaster has the most potential energy at the top of the track, and the opposing energy, "kinetic" has the most kinetic energy when going down the hill.

Explanation:

Kinetic - In-Motion.

Potential - Gathering Energy to go into Motion.

The maximum volume is 1417.87 $inch^3$

Explanation:

Optimization Using Derivatives

We have a 24x30 inch piece of metal and we need to make a rectangular box by cutting a square from each corner of the piece and bending up the sides. The width of the piece is 24 inches and its length is 30 inches

When we cut a square of each corner of side x, the base of the box (after bending up the sides) will be (24-2x) and (30-2x), width and length respectively. The volume of the box is

$V=(24-2x)(30-2x)x$
