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

A 1.50-V battery supplies 0.414 W of power to a small flashlight. If the battery moves 4.93 1020 electrons between its terminals
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

2.86×10⁻¹⁸ seconds

Explanation:

Applying,

P = VI................ Equation 1

Where P = Power, V = Voltage, I = Current.

make I the subject of the equation

I = P/V................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: P = 0.414 W, V = 1.50 V

Substitute into equation 2

I = 0.414/1.50

I = 0.276 A

Also,

Q = It............... Equation 3

Where Q = amount of charge, t = time

make t the subject of the equation

t = Q/I.................. Equation 4

From the question,

4.931020 electrons has a charge of (4.931020×1.6020×10⁻¹⁹) coulombs

Q = 7.899×10⁻¹⁹ C

Substitute these value into equation 4

t =  7.899×10⁻¹⁹/0.276

t = 2.86×10⁻¹⁸ seconds

Explain Energy Transformation using the image below and how the Law of Conservation of Energy is maintained.
Karolina [17]

The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles. The law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

The kinetic energy of an object is associated with its motion. It can be related to the mass and velocity as

K.E = 1/2 mv²

Given is a diagram of energy conversion due to combustion.

The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles.

The law of conservation of energy states that the energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be only converted to one form to the other.

In the given process, the mass decreases but energy remains the same in all forms of energy.

Hence, the law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process

A 55-kg woman is wearing high heels.
Grace [21]

Answer:

Pressure, P=1.90\times 10^7\ Pa        

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the woman, m = 55 kg

Diameter of the circular cross section, d = 6 mm

Radius, r = 3 mm = 0.003 m

Let P is the pressure exerted on the floor. It is equal to the force acting on woman per unit area. It is given by :

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

P=\dfrac{mg}{\pi r^2}

P=\dfrac{55\times 9.8}{\pi (0.003)^2}

P=1.90\times 10^7\ Pa

So, the pressure exerted on the floor is 1.90\times 10^7\ Pa. Hence, this is the required solution.
