Answer:

B)

Explanation:

The value the scale shows is the reaction force to the normal force (they are equal by Newton's 3rd Law) that the scale exerts on Eric.

The forces on Eric are his weight (downward) and this normal force (upward), so we can write the net force over him as (also using Newton's 2nd Law):

F=W-N=ma

which means

N=W-ma=mg-ma=m(g-a)

and for our values this is:

N=mg-ma=(70kg)(9.8m/s^2-1.7m/s^2)=567N

prisoha [69]

Answer:

1.3m/s

Explanation:

Data given,

Mass,m=1.0kg,

Amplitude,A=0.10m,

Frequency,f=2.0Hz.

From the equation of a simple harmonic motion, the displacement of the object at a given time is define as

x=Acos\alpha \\

we can express the velocity by the derivative of the displacement,

Hence

V=-Awsin\alpha \\

at equilibrium, the velocity becomes

V=wA\\w=2\pi f

Hence if we substitute values we arrive at

V=2\pi fA\\V=2\pi *2*0.1\\V=1.3m/s

LenaWriter [7]
True. Though typically crack deals take place in a car, or in an alley. The middle of a long block is kind of exposed. It could happen anywhere in Chicago though.
But yeah, criminals structure crime.

telo118 [61]
Light are transfer through waves in the atmosphere and yes it  true that the darker the color is the more heat it could absorb thus it is also explain that the lighter the color is the less heat or light its absorb its because the light is bounces back through other form of light and it lessens the amount of heat in a substance. In Ryan's procedure the possible wrong that he done is the present of a green cotton glove. Green color are one of the color that bounces light and could not support the hypothesis of Ryan and the possible temperature he could get is not the accurate one.
