orce. Calculate the acceleration of the woman
3600 m/s2



0.66 m/s2



26.7 m/s2



0.44 m/s2



30 m/s2



1.5 m/s2

What happens to them?

The woman will move slowly, and the boy will move faster in the opposite direction.


The woman and the boy will move together with equal speeds.


The woman will move away, but the boy will remain at rest.


The boy will move away, but the woman will remain at rest.


The woman will move slowly, and the boy will move faster in the same direction.

Answer:

The acceleration of the woman is 0.44 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the woman, m₁ = 90 kg

mass of the boy, m₂ = 60 kg

The force applied by the boy, f₂ = 40 N

The net horizontal force on the woman = 40 N

Apply Newton's second law of motion to determine the acceleration of the woman;

f = ma

a = f / m

a = 40 / 90

a = 0.44 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the woman is 0.44 m/s²

Which situation has the greatest pressure? A. Atmospheric pressure at sea level, equal to 1.01 X 105 N/m2 B. The pressure that a
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

In part A pressure is given as 1.01*10^5 N/m

In Part B we can calculate the pressure using the formula

        P = \frac{F}{A}

Where F is the force which in this case is weight which can be obtained as follow

            W = Mg

Substituting 70kg for M and 9.8m/s^2 for g

              W = 70 *9.8

                  =686N

A is the area with a value 50cm^2 = \frac{50}{10000}  = 5.0*10^{-3}m^2

So substituting into the above equation

              P = \frac{686}{5.0*10^{-3}}

                  = 1.37 *10^5 N/m^2                      

for part c

    A  = 22*28 cm^2= \frac{22*28}{10000}m^2

          =6.16*10^{-2}m^2

     F  = 2.5 * 9.8

        = 24.525N

Therefore P = \frac{24.252}{6.16*10^{-2}}

                    = 298 N/m^2

From this we see that the value of P for part B is the greatest

Which isotope has 16 neutrons and is used to study nucleotides and nucleic acids?
qaws [65]
When naming isotopes, the number beside it indicates the mass number. Now mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons. 

We know that the mass number of a stable Sulfur atom is 32, so  we can rule out C as an isotope. The atomic number of Sulfur is 16 and that means that there are 16 protons. Now if we subtract 16 from 33, then that means there are 17 neutrons. So we can rule out D. 

Phosphorus on the other hand has an atomic number of 15. If we subtract 15 from 31 we will have 16. That means that Phosphorus-31 has 16 neutrons.

The answer would then be A. Phosphorus 31.

If we say that one quantity is directly proportional to another quantity, does this mean that they are equal to each other?
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

It doesn't mean it equal to each other.  lets say x is directly proportional to y. Here, if something happens to x then, y will do the same thing. for example, if x increases, then y also increases. similarly, if x decreases, then y also decreases. therefore, x is something or lets say it is a major factor that decides the fate of y.
