Answer:

m³/(kg⋅s²)

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the involved formula is:

$F=G*\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

By writing a dimensional analysis with the proper algebra handling, we obtain:

$N[=]G*\frac{kg*kg}{m^2}\\ \\kg*\frac{m}{s^2}[=]G *\frac{kg*kg}{m^2}\\\\G[=]\frac{kg*m*m^2}{kg^2*s^2}\\ \\G[=]\frac{m^3}{kg*s^2}$

Thus, answer is:

m³/(kg⋅s²)

Note that the [=] is used to indicate the units of G.

Best regards

Leto [7]

Answer:

1 mole of H2O is 18 grams (2 g H + 16 g Oxygen)

36 / 18 = 2

So 2 moles = 2 * 6.02E23 = 12.04E23 = 1.204E24

A 0.750 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 13.0 N/m . While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it w

trapecia [35]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation. From this conservation we will find the magnitude of the amplitude. Later for the second part, we will need to find the period, from which it will be possible to obtain the speed of the body.

A) Conservation of Energy,

$KE = PE$

$\frac{1}{2} mv ^2 = \frac{1}{2} k A^2$

Here,

m = Mass

v = Velocity

k = Spring constant

A = Amplitude

Rearranging to find the Amplitude we have,

$A = \sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}}$

Replacing,

$A = \sqrt{\frac{(0.750)(31*10^{-2})^2}{13}}$

$A = 0.0744m$

(B) For this part we will begin by applying the concept of Period, this in order to find the speed defined in the mass-spring systems.

The Period is defined as

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

Replacing,

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.750}{13}}$

$T= 1.509s$

Now the velocity is described as,

$v = \frac{2\pi}{T} * \sqrt{A^2-x^2}$

$v = \frac{2\pi}{T} * \sqrt{A^2-0.75A^2}$

We have all the values, then replacing,

$v = \frac{2\pi}{1.509}\sqrt{(0.0744)^2-(0.750(0.0744))^2}$

$v = 0.2049m/s$

Ronch [10]

Answer:

C. Both A and B

Explanation:

<em>Electronic leveling systems: </em>These are automatic lifting jacks use for raising wheels and vehicle when parked or when work is to be done on the vehicle engine underneath or on wheels. unlike the manual jacks it is very quick and efficient.

Both technician right, for Technician A, a weight may be use during the procedure for balancing and leveling when raising, and for Technician B, the sensor in the electronic leveling systems is adjustable to adjust the height so as to maintain balancing and levelling.
