How a measuring scale measure our weight

Physics
1 answer:
Aloiza [94]3 years ago

Scales measure how much something weighs—and they do it by measuring how much force exists between the object you're weighing and planet Earth. Although scales measure force, they give you measurements of mass in kilograms, grams, pounds, or whatever.

Technician A says that the aspect ratio of a tire represents the relationship between the tire's cross-sectional height to its c
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Technician A

Explanation:

Often referred to as the profile or series, the aspect ratio of a tire is determined by dividing a tire’s section height by its section width when the tire is: inflated to maximum air pressure, mounted on the approved measuring rim, and under no load. This rules out Technician B.

A tire with a lower aspect ratio responds to lateral force more effectively than a tire with a higher aspect ratio. The aspect ratio affects steering stability. Generally, the shorter the sidewall, or the lower the aspect ratio, the less time it takes to transmit the steering input from the wheel to the tread. The result is quicker steering response. Aspect ratio also affects the tread contact patch. As a rule, a low-profile tire produces a wider tread contact patch. This wider tread contact patch creates a stiffer footprint that reduces distortion and provides improved cornering traction. Aspect ratio also impacts ride. A low-profile tire usually has a stiffer ride than the standard aspect ratio of 75 or more.

A jet aircraft with a mass of 4,475 kg has an engine that exerts a force (thrust) equal to 60,800 N. (a) What is the jet's accel
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

a) 13.59 m/s²

b) 67.95 m/s

c) 169.875 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

m = Mass

Force

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{60800}{4475}\\\Rightarrow a=13.59\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the jet is 13.59 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+13.59\times 5\\\Rightarrow v=67.95\ m/s

Velocity attained at 5 seconds is 67.95 m/s

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{67.95^2-0^2}{2\times 13.59}\\\Rightarrow s=169.875\ m

Distance traveled in the 5 seconds is 169.875 m

Radio waves are<br> waves.<br> O longitudinal<br> O transverse<br> O mechanical
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

Transverse wave, motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance. Surface ripples on water, seismic S (secondary) waves, and electromagnetic (e.g., radio and light) waves are examples of transverse waves

A car's bumper is designed to withstand a 6.84 km/h (1.9-m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of t
den301095 [7]

Answer:

F = 5.256 x 10^{3} N

Explanation:

From the work energy theorem we know that:

The net work done on a particle equals the change in the particles kinetic energy:

W = F.d, ΔK =\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}_{f}   - \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}_{i}  , F.d = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}_{f} -\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}_{i}

where:

W = work done by the force

F = Force

d = Distance travelled

m = Mass of the car

vf, vi = final and initial velocity of the car

kf, ki = final and initial kinetic energy of the car

Given the parameters;

m = 830kg

vi = 1.9 m/s

vf = 0 km/h

d = 0.285 m

Inserting the information we have:

F.d = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}_{f}   - \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}_{i}

F = \frac{\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}_{f}   - \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}_{i} }{d}

F = \frac{ 0   - \frac{1}{2}  X830 X 1.9^{2} }{0.285}

F = 5.256 x 10^{3} N

A bulldozer does 4,500 J of work to push a mound of soil to the top of a ramp that is 15 m high. The ramp is at an
vivado [14]

Answer:

520 N

Explanation:

Work is the dot product of the force vector and displacement vector.

W = F · x

This means it is the product of the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them.

W = F x cos θ

The displacement of the soil is 15 m up.  The force is parallel to the ramp.  So the angle between the vectors is 90° − 35° = 55°.

Plugging in the values and solving for F:

4500 J = F (15 m) (cos 55°)

F = 523 N

Rounded to two significant figures, the force is 520 N.
