How a measuring scale measure our weight

Physics
1 answer:
Aloiza [94]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Which of the following will cause an increase in gas pressure in a closed container?
Ludmilka [50]

C. Both A. and B.

Explanation:

Statement A. Reducing the volume is true because of Boyle's law, which states that for a gas at fixed temperature, the pressure p and the volume V are inversely proportional:

pV=const.

Therefore, when the volume V is reduced, the pressure p increases.

Statement B. Adding more gas is also true: in fact, if we add gas into the container, we will have more molecules of the gas hitting the wall of the container. But the pressure of a gas is exactly given by this: by the collision of the molecules against the wall of the container, so the more the molecules of gas, the greater the pressure.

A major difference between radio waves, visible light, and gamma rays is the ____ of the photons, which results in the different
olga2289 [7]
The sentence can be completed as follows:
"<span>A major difference between radio waves, visible light, and gamma rays is the energy of the photons, which results in the different photon frequencies and wavelengths."

In fact, gamma rays have greater energy than visible light and visible light has greater energy than radio waves. The energy E of a photon is related to its frequency, f, by
</span>E=hf
<span>where h is the Planck constant. We see from this formula that the higher the frequency, the greater the energy. Instead, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency:
</span>\lambda= \frac{c}{f}
<span>where c is the speed of light. Since the frequency is directly proportional to the energy, this means that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the energy.</span>

A truck is carrying a refrigerator as shown in the figure. The height of the refrigerator is 158.0 cm, the width is 60.0 cm. The
Arada [10]

The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².

<h3>What will be the maximum acceleration of the truck to avoid tipping over?</h3>

The maximum acceleration is obtained by taking clockwise moments about the tipping point of rotation.

Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment

Ft * 1.58 m = F * 0.67 m

where

  • Ft is tipping force = mass * acceleration, a
  • F is weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity, g

m * a * 1.58 = m * 9.81 * 0.67

a = 4.15 m/s²

The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².

In conclusion, the acceleration of the truck is found by taking moments about the tipping point.
