weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

= 80 kg x 1.6252 m/s^2 = 130 N (approximately).

The correct answer is A. 128 N

Your answer would be approximately 128 N. Here is how!
Acceleration on the Earth is 9.8m/sec^2... on the moon, it's 1/6 that, or about 1.6m/sec^2.

<span>So, 80kg X 1.6m/sec^2 = 128N</span>

A car is moving with a speed of 15

mars1129 [50]

The unit for the speed was not given

If speed is 15km/h
and distance is 1.2km
Then using the formula
Speed = distance/time
Time = t
15 = 1.2/t
15t = 1.2
t = 1.2/15
t = 0.08hrs

But
1hr = 60seconds
0.08hrs = t
t = 60(0.08)
t = 4.8s

What is the angle of refraction if a ray leaves a material with an index of 1.66, traveling into air, and the angle of incidence

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

$r = 21.26^0$

Explanation:

given,

light is incident on the plane surface at (i) = 37°

angle of refraction (r) = ?

μ is the refractive index of the material

μ = 1.66

using Snell's law

$\mu = \dfrac{sin i}{sin r}$

$1.66 = \dfrac{sin 37^0}{sin r}$

$sin r = \dfrac{sin 37^0}{1.66}$

$sin r = 0.362$

$r = 21.26^0$

hence. the angle of refraction is equal to $r = 21.26^0$

A uniform bar of length 3.7 m and mass 4.5 kg is attached to a wall through a hinge mechanism which allows it to rotate freely.

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

force exert horizontally is 1 N

Explanation:

given data

bar length = 3.7 m

mass = 4.5 kg

rope length = 6.7 m

to find out

force exert horizontally

solution

we know here bar length and rope length that make angle θ

so here cos θ = (3.7/6.7)

so equating the torque here to find force in horizontal direction is

Fx = T cos θ .........1

and in vertical direction

Tsinθ + N = mg .............2

so here

we consider equilibrium condition

Fx = 0

T cos θ = 0

T 3.7 / 6.7 = 0

T = 6.7/3.7

T = 1.81

so from equation 1

Fx = T cosθ

Fx = 1.81 ( 3.7/6.7)

Fx = 1 N

so force exert horizontally is 1 N
