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

Two sources of light of wavelength 700 nm are 9 m away from a pinhole of diameter 1.2 mm. How far apart must the sources be for
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The distance is  D  =  0.000712 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength of  the  light source is  \lambda  =  700 \ nm = 700 *10^{-9} \  m

     The distance from a pin hole is  x  =  9\ m

       The  diameter of the pin  hole is  d =  1.2 \ mm  =  0.0012 \ m

     

Generally the distance which the light source need to be in order for their diffraction patterns to be resolved by Rayleigh's criterion is

mathematically represented as

              D  =  \frac{1.22 \lambda }{d }

substituting values

             D  =  \frac{1.22 * 700 *10^{-9} }{ 0.0012 }

             D  =  0.000712 \ m

What best describes the dropping height of a ball that bounced back up to a height of 45 centimeters?
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:C:Less than 45 centimeters, as the ball transforms some of its potential energy into thermal energy and sound energy

Less than 45 centimeters, as the ball transforms some of its potential energy into thermal energy and sound energy.

Although the initial energy (potential energy is preserved), the energy of deformation as the ball strikes a surface creates energy dissipation in the form of frictional heat and audible sound energy.

Every time the ball bounces, its height will be less than its previous height.

Strong evidence for the existence of dark matter comes from observations of
adoni [48]

Answer:

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes such as the Hubble telescope.

Explanation:

Dark matter and normal matter have been wrenched apart by the tremendous collision of two large clusters of galaxies.

The above observations have provided the strongest evidence yet that most of the matter in the universe is dark.
