Answer: 14400 N

Explanation:

Weight of an object is the force acting on an object on the center of the body by gravity.

weight=mass\times acceleratio

Given mass= 1470 kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.80m/s^2

Putting in the values we get,

weight=1470kg\times 9.80m/s^2=14400kgms^{-2}=14400N

1kgms^{-2}=1Newton(N)

thus weight of the object is 14400 Newton

Weight  = Mass * gravity

             =  1470* 9.8 = 14406 N  ≈ 14,400 N

Answer:

The magnitude of the angular acceleration is  a =  20.14 rad/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The angular speed of CD is  w_{CD} =  500 rpm =  \frac{500  rpm}{\frac{60 \ s }{1 \ min} } * \frac{2 \pi }{ 1 \ rev} = 52.37 rad/s

    time taken to decelerate is t_{CD} =  2.60\ s

    The final angular speed is  w_f= 0 \ rad/s

The angular acceleration is mathematically represented as

         a =  \frac{w_f - w_{CD}}{t}

substituting values

          a =  \frac{0 - 52.37}{2.60}

         a =  - 20.14 rad/s^2

The negative sign show that the CD is decelerating  but the magnitude is

       a =  20.14 rad/s^2

Answer:

Their number should increase

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon that causes the ejection of electrons from that metal as light shined onto a metal surface. Only certain frequencies of light can cause the ejection of electrons. However, if the frequency of the incident light is too low then no electrons were ejected even if the intensity of the light was very high. If the frequency of the light was higher then electrons were able to be ejected from the metal surface even if the intensity of the light was very low.

According to the accepted wave theory, light of any frequency will cause electrons to be emitted. Kinetic energy emitted by the electrons depends upon the intensity of light.

According to the accepted wave theory, number of electrons being ejected by the metal should increase

Why is it important to keep the muzzle of a firearm pointed in a safe direction, even though the firearm's safety is engaged?
Gnom [1K]
The correct answer is B. The safety only prevents you from pulling the trigger, but does not stop the pin from striking the primer. For example, if you drop the firearm, the pin may hit the primer and fire the firearm. It is always responsible to keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction so that if this happens, no consequences come out of it.

1. How does the mass of Jupiter compare to Earth?
sammy [17]

Answer:

1.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. (Image credit: NASA)

The largest planet in the solar system, the gas giant Jupiter is approximately 318 times as massive as Earth. If the mass of all of the other planets in the solar system were combined into one "super planet," Jupiter would still be two and a half times as large.

2.Rotation of Jupiter

[/caption]

Jupiter has the fastest rotation of all the planets in the Solar System, completing one rotation on its axis every 9.9 hours.

3.Jupiter, the King of the Planets, is a gas giant, which means that it's made mostly of gases like hydrogen and helium, and that it doesn't have a solid surface in the way that rocky planets like Earth do. With a temperature of 130 K (-140 C, -230 F), it's so cold that it gives off most of its energy in the infrared. In fact, Jupiter gives off almost twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun. It's able to do this because it has its own internal heat source, powered by the slow gravitational collapse that started when the planet first formed. Astronomers estimate that Jupiter is currently shrinking by almost 2 cm per year
