The weight of a body above sea level varies inversely with the square of the distance from the center of Earth. If a woman weigh

s 131 pounds when she is at sea​ level, 3960 miles from the center of​ Earth, how much will she weigh when she is at the top of a​ mountain, 4.8 miles above sea​ level?

Answer:

89.16pounds

Explanation:

The equation that defines this problem is as follows

W=k/X^2

where

W=Weight

K= proportionality constant

X=distance from the center of Earth

first we must find the constant of proportionality, with the first part of the problem

k=WX^2=131x3960^2=2054289600pounds x miles^2

then we use the equation to calculate the woman's weight with the new distance

W=2054289600/(4800)^2=89.16pounds

True or false? All waves need a medium in order to travel
Art [367]
That's false.  Mechanical waves (like sound and ocean waves) do
need a medium to travel in, but electromagnetic waves (like radio
and light) don't.

Two bodies are falling with negligible air resistance, side by side, above a horizontal plane. If one of the bodies is given an
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:4-strikes the plane at same time as the other body

Explanation:

Given

If both bodies is falling on a horizontal plane and second body is given an acceleration in horizontal direction then it does not change the time to reach the Horizontal Plate as there is no change in vertical direction.

Horizontal acceleration will give only horizontal range and horizontal velocity.

Why are ionic solids poor conductors of electricity? The lattice is brittle. The ions are neutral. The ions are of equal but opp
sveta [45]

The ions are in fixed positions.

Explanation:

Ionic solids are poor conductors of electricity because their ions are fixed in position. Their ions are not free to move about. They are fixed in crystal lattices.

  • For the conduction of electricity, compounds must possess free mobile electrons and moving ions in solution.
  • Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic attraction between a metallic and non-metallic ion.
  • They actually contain ions but their ions are locked up.
  • They are not free to move about.
  • Electrical conduction involves ion mobility.
  • In molten and aqueous forms, they are able to conduct electricity because their ions are then mobile.

Which can make 4 covalent bonds? Carbon, Silicon, or both?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

I would say both

Explanation:

Each silicon atom has four valence electrons which are shared, forming covalent bonds with the four surrounding Si atoms.

Carbon contains four electrons in its outer shell. Therefore, it can form four covalent bonds with other atoms or molecules. The simplest organic carbon molecule is methane (CH4), in which four hydrogen atoms bind to a carbon atom (Figure 1).

What laws of motion are demonstrated by a hammer pounding a nail into a board?
julia-pushkina [17]
A hammer pounding a nail into a board is an example of Newton’s Third law.

Newton’s third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Meaning, when you hit the hammer on the board the same amount of energy that is going into the board, is going into the hammer. Causing the hammer to bounce off the board.

Hope this helps!
