An astronaut on the moon pushes with her left hand on a small rock and with her right hand on a large rock. Each hand pushes wit

h a force of 15 N. The small rock has mass 2 kg and the large rock has mass 8 kg. What forces do the rocks exert on the astronaut?
The small rock exerts a pushing force of 20 N; the large rock exerts a pushing force of 78 N.

The small rock exerts a pushing force of 3 N; the large rock exerts a pushing force of 12 N.

Each rock exerts a pushing force of 7.5 N.

Each rock exerts a pushing force of 15 N.

Answer:

<h2>Each rock exerts a pushing force of 15 N.</h2>

Explanation:

The clue here is that the astronaut pushes with a force of 15N.

To understand this better we need to recur to Newton's third law which states

For every action (force), there's an equal and opposite reaction.

So, we know that the astronaut pushed both rocks with 15N force. By Netwon's third law, both rocks exert a force of 15N back, because such reaction must be equal.

Therefore, the right answer is the last choice: <em>Each rock exerts a pushing force of 15 N.</em>

What is the heat-loss rate through the slab if the ground temperature is 5 ∘C while the interior of the house is 25 ∘C?
Gala2k [10]

Complete question :

A 12 m x 15 m house is built on a 12-cm-thick concrete slab.

What is the heat-loss rate through the slab if the ground temperature is 5°C while the interior of the house is 25°C

Answer:

3kW

Explanation:

Given the following :

Dimension of house :

Length = 12m

Width = 15m

Thickness of concrete slab (t) = 12cm

t in metres :

100cm = 1m

12cm = (12/100)m

= 0.12m

Ground temperature (Tg) = 5°C

Interior temperature = (Th) = 25°C

Thermal conductivity of concrete (K) is approximately 1 Wm/k

Using the relation:

Q = KA * [ (Th - Tg) / d]

A = Length * width = (12 *15) = 180

Q = (1 * 180) * [(25°C - 5°C) / 0.12]

Q = 180 * (20/0.12)

Q = 180 * 16.6666

Q = 3,000W = 3kW

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The very high voltage needed to create a spark across the spark plug is produced at the  transformer's secondary winding. <span>The secondary coil is engulfed by a powerful and changing magnetic field. This field induces a current in the coils -- a very high-voltage current.</span>

Draw an atom of Aluminum, use your book to find the Atomic number and the mass.
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Solution

The atomic number of iodine (53) tells us that a neutral iodine atom contains 53 protons in its nucleus and 53 electrons outside its nucleus. Because the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons equals the mass number, 127, the number of neutrons is 74 (127 − 53 = 74). Since the iodine is added as a 1− anion, the number of electrons is 54 [53 – (1–) = 54].

Tolerance enables the engineer to be informed when somethings requires replacement or if there is a drawback with too much war.

 

The three types of tolerances that appear on dimensioned drawings are limit, bilateral, and unilateral.

 

<span>General tolerances are normally found in the information blocks of the blueprint while a specific tolerance is noted for certain areas of the blueprint.</span>
