Answer:

The downward force does it need to exert in order to maintain equilibrium is 76.974 N

Explanation:

The downward force does it need to exert in order to maintain equilibrium is:

F=\frac{mgL}{x}

Where

m = mass of human head = 4.8 kg

g = gravity = 9.8 m/s²

L = center of mass = 1.8 cm = 0.018 m

x = distance = 1.1 cm = 0.011 m

Replacing:

F=\frac{4.8*9.8*0.018}{0.011} =76.974N

Alice kicks a 0. 25 kg soccer ball with 0. 5 N of force. What force does the ball exert on Alice’s foot as she kicks it? N.
djyliett [7]

The ball exerts a force of 5 N on Alice's foot because every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

<h3>What does Newton's third law of motion state?
</h3>

The third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Force is the influence that can accelerate the object.

In the question, Alice kicks the ball with a force of 5 N, so, the ball will also exert an equal force but in opposite direction.

Therefore, the ball exerts a force of 5 N on Alice's foot.

Someone tells you that scientific knowledge cannot be changed or modified. How would you answer this statement?
mixer [17]
Scientific knowledge can be modified. This is because all the scientific principles that are existing now is not certain for all possible conditions. Scientific knowledge is not directly given to us, human minds work the effort of unveiling the unknown. Thus, scientists are slowly discovering the science of all natural phenomena. Along the way, they could come up with misinterpretations. Let me give a concrete example. When J.J. Thompson proposed the Plum-Pudding model, it was the widely accepted theory in the field of atomic science. However, when Rutherford did his golden foil experiment, he disproved Thompson's model and proposed the Planetary Model. Therefore, scientific knowledge is an ongoing process. Scientists would always want to disprove each other, not because they want to compete with each other. They want to discover the truth together with what they have to the best of their abilities. They are never content with just one simple principle according to one scientist. It will always be verified by a group of fellow scientists.

In the 21st century where technology is exponentially progressing, scientists would discover more of the basic principles. Hence, we would expect that scientific knowledge is constantly changing and modifying.

RUDIKE [14]

Electrical kettle:  

P = 2 KW = 2000 W

U = 200 V

⇒  I = P/U = 2000 / 200 = 10 A

We apply the Law of Ohm:

R = U / I = 200V / 10A = <u>20 Ω</u>

=======

Electrical heater:

P = 1 KW = 1000 W

U = 240 V

⇒  I = P/U = 1000 / 240 = 4,16 A

We apply the Law of Ohm:

R = U / I = 240V / 4,16A = <u>57,69 Ω</u>

<u>Answer:</u>

The device with the highest resistance is <u>the electric heater.</u>

The work function of an element is the energy required to remove an electron from the surface of the solid. The work function fo
vichka [17]

Answer:

λ = 548.7 nm

Explanation:

Hi!

First we want to know how much energy we need to remove 1 electron from the surface of the solid:

218.1 kJ/mol => 218 100 J / (6.022 x 10^23) electrons

                             = 3.621 x 10^-19 J/electron  

That is we need 3.621 x 10^-19 J to remove one electron

Now we can calculate the wavelength that a photon must have in order to have this energy:

E = (hc) / λ

λ = (hc) / Ε

where

 h = 6,626070150(69) ×10 -34 Js (wikipedia)

 c = 3 x10^8 m/s

hc = 1.987 x 10^-25 Jm

Therefore:

λ = ( 1.987 x 10^-25 /3.621 x 10^-19 ) m = 5.487 x 10^-7 m

λ = 548.7 nm
