weegy a 7.5kg block is placed on a table. if its bottom surface area is 0.6m2 , how much pressure does the block exert on the ta

The pressure exerted by the block on the table is given by:

$p=\frac{W}{A}$

where W is the weight of the box, and A is the bottom surface area of the box.

The weight of the box is: $W=mg=(7.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=73.6 N$

Substituting into the first equation, we find the pressure:

$p=\frac{W}{A}=\frac{73.6 N}{0.6 m^2}=122.7 Pa$

A doubly ionized molecule (i.e., a molecule lacking two electrons) moving in a magnetic field experiences a magnetic force of 5.

Kobotan [32]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

F = $5.75 \times 10^{-16} N$

q = $1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

v = 385 m/s

$sin (63.9^{o})$ = 0.876

Now, we will calculate the magnitude of magnetic field as follows.

B = $\frac{F}{qv sin (\theta)}$

= $\frac{5.75 \times 10^{-16} N}{1.6 \times 10^{-19} C \times 385 m/s \times 0.876}$

= $0.01065 \times 10^{3}$ T

= 10.65 T

Thus, we can conclude that magnitude of the magnetic field is 10.65 T.

Which statement is true about a planet’s orbital motion?

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

Explanation:

The gravitational force is responsible for the orbital motion of the planet, satellite, artificial satellite, and other heavenly bodies in outer space.

When an object is applied with a velocity that is equal to the velocity of the orbit at that location, the body continues to move forward. And, this motion is balanced by the gravitational pull of the second object.

The orbiting body experience a centripetal force that is equal to the gravitational force of the second object towards the body.

The velocity of the orbit is given by the relation,

$V = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R + h} }$

Where

V - velocity of the orbit at a height h from the surface

R - Radius of the second object

G - Gravitational constant

h - height from the surface

The body will be in orbital motion when its kinetic motion is balanced by gravitational force.

$1/2 mV^{2} = GMm/R$

Hence, the orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

If the price of gasoline at a particular station in Europe is 5 euros per liter. An American student in Europe is allowed to use

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Number of gallons =2 gallon

Explanation:

given data:

rate of gasoline ineurope = 5 euro per liter

total money to buy gasoline = 40 euro

total gasoline an american can buy in europe $= \frac{40}{5}$

= 8 litres of gasoline

As given in the question 1 ltr is 1 quarts therefore

Total no. of quarts is 8 quarts

As from question 4 quarts is equal to one gallon, hence

Number of gallons $= \frac{8}{4} = 2 gallon$

Two streams merge to form a river. One stream has a width of 8.4 m, depth of 3.5 m, and current speed of 2.2 m/s. The other stre

hoa [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall solve this problem on the basis of pinciple that water is incompressible so volume of flow will be equal at every point .

rate of volume flow of one stream

= cross sectional area x velocity

= 8.4 x 3.5 x 2.2 = 64.68 m³ /s

rate of volume flow of other stream

= 6.6 x 3.6 x 2.7

= 64.15 m³ /s

rate of volume flow of rive , if d be its depth

= 11.2 x d x 2.8

= 31.36 d

volume flow of river = Total of volume flow rate of two streams

31.36 d = 64.15 + 64.68

31.36 d = 128.83

d = 4.10 m /s .

The first ionization energy of a hydrogen atom is 2.18 aj (attojoules). what is the frequency and wavelength, in nanometers, of

jasenka [17]

1) Frequency: $3.29\cdot 10^{15}Hz$

the energy of the photon absorbed must be equal to the ionization enegy of the atom, which is

$E=2.18 aJ=2.18\cdot 10^{-18} J$

The energy of a photon is given by

$E=hf$

where $h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js$ is the Planck's constant. By using the energy written above and by re-arranging thsi formula, we can calculate the frequency of the photon:

$f=\frac{E}{h}=\frac{2.18\cdot 10^{-18} J}{6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js}=3.29\cdot 10^{15} Hz$

2) Wavelength: 91.2 nm

The wavelength of the photon can be found from its frequency, by using the following relationship:

$\lambda=\frac{c}{f}$

where $c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light and f is the frequency. Substituting the frequency, we find

$\lambda=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{3.29\cdot 10^{15}Hz}=9.12\cdot 10^{-8} m=91.2 nm$
