Answer:

Explanation:

Even though the minimum temperature is more than the freezing point, Frost was observed on the ground because the ground will cool rapidly as cool air tends to move towards the ground, the temperature of the ground is lower than the atmosphere a few feet above it.

As the thermometer is kept some feet above the ground so ground temperature may be lower than the minimum recorded temperature.

An elevator accelerates upward at 1.2 m/s 2 . the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . what is the upward force exerted by the
Marysya12 [62]
We can find the force by using the following formula;
N = ma +  mg
Fa = ma = 76 x 1.2 = 91.2
Fg = mg = 76 x 9.8 = 744.8
N = 91.2 + 744.8 = 836
So, the force is 836 N.

A 160.-kilogram space vehicle is traveling along a
mario62 [17]

If the object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed, then that's
the definition of zero acceleration.  It can only happen when the sum of
all forces (the 'net' force) on the object is zero.

And it doesn't matter what the object's mass is.  That argument is true
for specks of dust, battleships, rocks, stars, rock-stars, planets, and
everything in between.

If the focal length of a concave mirror is 18cm, find its radius of curvature.
Galina-37 [17]

Given :

The focal length of a concave mirror is 18 cm.

To Find :

The radius of curvature of the concave mirror.

Solution :

We know,

\text{Focal length}=\dfrac{\text{Radius of curvature}}{2}\\\\F=\dfrac{R}{2}\\\\R = 18\times 2\ cm\\\\R = 36 \ cm

Therefore, the radius of curvature of concave mirror is 36 cm.

Hence, this is the required solution.

2 objects have a total momentum of 400kg m/s, they collide. Object A’s mass is5kg & object B’s mass is 11kg. After the colli
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum .

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision .

Momentum before collision = 400 kg m/s

Momentum after collision = 5  x v + 11 x 15

where v is velocity of A after the collision .

5  x v + 11 x 15 = 400

5 v = 400 - 165

5v = 235

v = 47 m /s .
