Answer:

a. 240 N due east

b. 540 N due west

Explanation:

Let east be the reference direction

(a) if the resultant force has a magnitude of 390 N and points east, and the 1st force is 150N due East, then the additional force would also due east and has a magnitude of

390 - 150 = 240 N

(b) if the resultant force has a magnitude of 390 N and points west, it would be -390N is eastern reference, and the 1st force is 150N due East, then the additional force would also due east and has a magnitude of

-390 - 150 = -540 N

This force would point west

Which instrument produces the sound of a single frequency?
notka56 [123]
NO musical instrument produces a 'pure' tone with only a
single frequency in it.

EVERY instrument produces more or less harmonics (multiples)
in addition to the basic frequency it's playing.

The percussion instruments (drums etc) are the richest producers
of bunches of different frequencies.

Fuzzy electric guitars are next richest.

The strings and brass instruments are moderate producers of
harmonics ... I can't remember which is greater than the other.

Then come the woodwinds ... clarinet, oboe, etc.

The closest to 'pure' tones of single frequency are the sounds
made by the flute and piccolo, but even these are far from 'pure'.

The only way to get a true single-frequency sound is from an
electronic 'sine wave' generator.

An automobile having a mass of 1,000 kg is driven into a brick wall in a safety test. The bumper behaves like a spring with cons
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

v=2.02\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Assuming no energy lost, according to the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy of the automobile becomes potential energy after the crash:

K=U\\\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{kx^2}{2}

Here m is the automobile's mass, v is the speed of the car before impact, k is the "bumper" constant and x is the compression of the bumper due to the collision. Solving for v:

v=x\sqrt\frac{k}{m}\\v=2.63*10^{-2}m\sqrt{\frac{5.9*10^6\frac{N}{m}}{10^3kg}}\\v=2.02\frac{m}{s}

When a voltage difference is applied to a piece of metal wire, a 5.0 mA current flows through it. If this metal wire is now repl
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

I = 21.13 mA ≈ 21 mA

Explanation:

If

I₁ = 5 mA

L₁ = L₂ = L

V₁ = V₂ = V

ρ₁ = 1.68*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

ρ₂ = 1.59*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

D₁ = D

D₂ = 2D

S₁ = 0.25*π*D²

S₂ = 0.25*π*(2*D)² = π*D²

If we apply the equation

R = ρ*L / S

where (using Ohm's Law):

R = V / I

we have

V / I = ρ*L / S

If V and L are the same

V / L =  ρ*I / S

then

(V / L)₁ = (V / L)₂  ⇒     ρ₁*I₁ / S₁ = ρ₂*I₂ / S₂

If

S₁ = 0.25*π*D²   and

S₂ = 0.25*π*(2*D)² = π*D²

we have

ρ₁*I₁ / (0.25*π*D²) = ρ₂*I₂ / (π*D²)

⇒    I₂ = 4*ρ₁*I₁ / ρ₂

⇒     I₂ = 4*1.68*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m*5 mA / 1.59*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

⇒     I₂ = 21.13 mA

Which do you think changes the land more frozen water or flowing water?

I believe flowing water changes the land because eventually frozen water has to melt to flowing water, right?

Four students measured the same line with a ruler like the one shown below. The results were as follows: 5.52 cm, 6.63 cm, 5.5,
finlep [7]

Answer:

correct answer is 1 and 3

Explanation:

In direct measurement with an instrument, the precision or absolute error of the instrument is given by its appreciation, in this case we see that the measurements have two decimal places, so the appreciation of the instrument must be 0.01 cm

Based on this appreciation, the valid measurements are 5.52 and 5.5.

the other two measurements have errors much higher than the assessment of the instrument, for which there must have been some errors in the measurement.

The correct answer is 1 and 3
