Hello!

The formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius can be written as follows:

C = $\frac{(F-32)(5)}{9}$

Now let’s insert the value provided for Fahrenheit:

C = $\frac{((-15)-32)(5)}{9}$

Now simplify the numerator:

C = $\frac{(-235)}{9}$

Now divide:

C = -26.111

We have now proven that -15 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to -26.111 degrees Celsius.

I hope this helps!

Which of the following represents a possible magnitude for the force of static friction when Xavier applied 72.1 Newtons of forc

lana66690 [7]

The possible magnitude for the force of static friction on the stationary cart is 72.1 N.

The given parameters:

<em>Applied force on the cart, F = 72.1 N</em>

<em />

Based on Newton's second law of motion, the force applied to object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.

F = ma

Static frictional force is the force resisting the motion of an object at rest.

$\Sigma F = 0\\\\F -F_f = 0$

where;

$F_f$ is the frictional force

$F= F_f \\\\72.1 = F_f\\\\F_f = 72.1\ N$

Thus, the possible magnitude for the force of static friction on the stationary cart is 72.1 N.

If you traveled one mile at a speed of 100 miles per hour and another mile at a speed if 1 mile per hour, your average speed wou

Semenov [28]

Answer:

v = 1.98 mph

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed to travel one mile is 100 mph

Speed to travel another mile is 1 mph

The formula used to find your average speed is given by :

$v=\dfrac{2v_1v_2}{v_1+v_2}$

Putting the values, we get :

$v=\dfrac{2\times 100\times 1}{100+1}$

v = 1.98 mph

So, yours average speed is 1.98 mph.

A calorimeter directly measures ______ in order to calculate ______. (1 point)

Aneli [31]

The complete sentence is:

A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.

In fact, the amount of energy acquired/released by a substance is directly proportional to its change in temperature due to the equation

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where Q is the amount of energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance and $\Delta T$ is the change in temperature. Therefore, by knowing Q, m and by measuring the change in temperature, it is possible to calculate Cs, the specific heat capacity of the substance.

The electric field due to two point charges is found by: a) finding the stronger field. The net field will just be equal to the

alekssr [168]

Answer:

b)determining the electric field due to each charge and adding them together as vectors.

Explanation:

The electric Field is a vector quantity, in other words it has a magnitude and a direction. On the other hand, the electric field follows the law of superposition. The electric field produced by two elements is equal to the sum of the electric fields produced by each element when the other element is not present. in other words, the total electric field is solved determining the electric field due to each charge and adding them together as vectors.
