A 20 kg mass is dropped from a tall rooftop and accelerates at 9.8 m/s2. What is the weight of the dropped object?

It would have no “weight” since weight is determined by the force normal and since it is accelerating there is no normal force making it weightless

Objects in free fall are weightless.

A flat metal washer is heated. As the washer's temperature increases, what happens to the hole in the center? A flat metal washe
STALIN [3.7K]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to thermal expansion.

The thermal expansion is given by the function,

\Delta L = L_0 \alpha \Delta T

Where,

\Delta L= Change in Length

\Delta T =Change in Temperature

\alpha =Coeficiente de dilatación lineal

L_0 = Initial Length

By quickly deducing the formula, we can realize that the greater the change in temperature, the greater the change in the length of the radius.

The change in length is proportional to the change in temperature. Considering that the other two terms are constant we have that the correct one would be: <em>The hole in the center of the washer will expand.</em>

Effect of impurities and temperature to surface tension​
oksano4ka [1.4K]
In general, surface tension decreases when temperature increases because cohesive forces decrease with an increase of molecular thermal activity. The influence of the surrounding environment is due to the adhesive action of liquid molecules that they have at the interface.

The X-ray source Cygnus X-1 has a mass of at least 11 solar masses and a diameter of only about one-quarter the diameter of the
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Answer is It was deduced from the rate at which it glimmers.

Refer below.

Explanation:

The X-ray source Cygnus X-1 has a mass of at least 11 solar masses and a diameter of only about one-quarter the diameter of the Earth. With such a small diameter it must be a compact object, and with such a large mass it can't be a white dwarf or a neutron star, so a black hole is the only possibility remaining. The diameter of Cygnus X-1 found:

It was deduced from the rate at which it glimmers.

Uranium-235 decays to thorium-231 with a half-life of 700 million years. When a rock was formed, it contained 6400 million urani
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

proof in explanation

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the number of half-lives:

n = \frac{t}{t_{1/2}}

where,

n = no. of half-lives = ?

t = total time passed = 2100 million years

t_{1/2} = half-life = 700 million years

Therefore,

n = \frac{2100\ million\ years}{700\ million\ years}\\\\n = 3

Now, we will calculate the number of uranium nuclei left (n_u):

n_u = \frac{1}{2^{n} }(total\ nuclei)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{2^{3} }(6400\ million)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{8}(6400\ million)\\\\n_u =  800\ million

and the rest of the uranium nuclei will become thorium nuclei (u_{th})

n_{th} = total\ nuclei - n_u\\n_{th} = 6400\ million-800\ million\\n_{th} = 5600\ million

dividing both:

\frac{n_{th}}{n_u}=\frac{5600\ million}{800\ million} \\\\n_{th} = 7n_u

<u>Hence, it is proven that after 2100 million years there are seven times more thorium nuclei than uranium nuclei in the rock.</u>
