To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Force of Gravity and the Normal Force that act on the body.

The Gravity Force on Eric would be given by

F_g = mg

F_g = (80)(9.8)

F_g = 784N

To find the normal Force we must also consider downward acceleration therefore

F_N = M(-g+a)

F_N = (80)(-9.8+1.7)

F_N = -648N

Since the Normal Force is the Reaction Force the approximate reading on the scale is 650N

Why are lanthanum and actinium at the bottom of the periodic table?
7nadin3 [17]
The periodic table is organized in a way in which trends with certain things such as ionization energy or atomic radius would "work out". It also have increasing atomic mass.

It's also organized to tell you the electron and proton of each element, least to greatest. (the atomic number) Example: Chlorine has 17 protons and 17 e-
(Left to right)
(Top to bottom)

Lanthanum and actinium play the role of being in the bottom because of their large atomic radius and having many protons/electrons.
They're also in the F block for electron configuration.

John runs for 10 mins at a uniform speed 9kn/h. At what speed should he run for the next 20mins so that theaverage speed comes t
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

13.5 km/h

Explanation:

John runs for 10 min at 9 km/h, then 20 min at v.  He will have run a total of 30 min at 12 km/h.

Therefore:

(30 min) (12 km/h) = (10 min) (9 km/h) + (20 min) v

v = 13.5 km/h

Who discovered laws of gravity and motion? He discovered aspects of light and color, leading to today's spectrum analysis
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Sir Isaac Newton

Explanation:

The laws according to which bodies move and how one body attracts another body were developed by Newton. The three laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation were developed by Newton.

In the seventeenth century almost all the refracting telescopes exhibited color distortion. Newton believed that white light had a spectrum which was the reason for this distortion. The lens of a refracting telescope used to act like a prism which caused the dispersion of light proving Newton's hypothesis.

Two hockey players, Z and X, are standing face-to-face and stationary on the ice. Skater Z has a mass of 72.5 kg. Skater X has a
Alik [6]

Answer:

1. The momenta of the skaters after the shove are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. Skater Z's mation is an ex. of recoil.

Explanation:

The moment is preserved before and after the push (impact), this is called conservation of the moment, skater x will move in the direction of the force of the push, but skater z will move in the opposite direction with a different speed, but retaining the initial moment imparted.

Recall that linear momentum is defined as the product of body mass by Velocity

P = m * v

where:

P = linear momentum [kg*m/s]

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]
