Answer:

a)    A = 0.07129 m²

b)    A / A ’= 1.77

Explanation:

In this exercise we are asked to find the area in SI units, so let's start by reducing the dimensions to SI units.

width a = 8.5 inch (2.54 cm 1 inch) (1 m / 100 cm)

            a = 0.2159 m

length l = 13 inch (2.54 cm / 1 inch) (1 m / 100 cm)

              l = 0.3302 m

The area of ​​a rectangle is

            A = l a

             A = 0.3302 0.2159

             A = 0.07129 m²

b) we have a second sheet with reduced dimensions

         a ’= 3/4 a

         l ’= ¾ l

Let's find the area of ​​this glossy sheet

         A ’= l’ a ’

         A ’= ¾ l ¾ a

         A ’= 9/16 l a

To find the factor we divide the two quantities

           A / A ’= l a 16 / (9 l a

            A / A ’= 1.77

Volcanoes that have fast flowing liquid lava will be narrow like a river
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Shield volcanoes, the third type of volcano, are built almost entirely of fluid lava flows. Flow after flow pours out in all directions from a central summit vent, or group of vents, building a broad, gently sloping cone of flat, domical shape, with a profile much like that of a warrior's shield.

A crate with a mass of m = 450 kg rests on the horizontal deck of a ship. The coefficient of static friction between the crate a
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg

Magnitude of the force is 2601.9 N

Explanation:

m = 450 kg

coefficient of static friction μs = 0.73

coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.59

The force required to  start crate moving is F_{s} =\mu_{s} mg.

but once crate starts moving the force of friction is reduced  F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg.

Hence  to keep crate moving at constant velocity we have to reduce the  force pushing crate ie F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg.

Then the above pushing force will equal the frictional force due to kinetic friction and constant velocity is possible as  forces are balanced.

Magnitude of the force

F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg\\F_{v} =0.59 \times 450 \times 9.8\\F_{v} =2601.9  N

worty [1.4K]
Big Bang is a theory that, as stated above, has grown to become widely acceptable scientific explanation of the origin of things. Research would say that according to this theory, the Earth originated billion years ago through an explosive of a highly energized point.

Through this explosion, the elements were formed. However, only the lightest of the elements including hydrogen and helium, with traces of lithium and beryllium. From the choices, the answer would have to be the second choice, helium.

Answer: B. helium

Define neuron and nerve<br>cell​
san4es73 [151]

Answer: Hi!

A neuron is a basic working unit of the brain. Neurons are special cells designed to transfer information to other nerve, muscle, or gland cells. They are pretty cool - looking too! (A slightly irregular circular shape with branches reaching out from all sides.) A neuron is a nerve cell. Nerve cells are the way of communication in the nervous system.

Hope this helps!

Help with either I don’t understand this I know W=f*d but don’t get how it applies here
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

5) Displacement = +3.125 m

Displacement is in the same direction as the force vector.

6) Force = -53.89 N

Force is in an opposite direction relative to the displacement.

Explanation:

5) We are given;

Force; F = 160 N.

Workdone; W = +500 J

Now, formula for workdone is;

W = Force × displacement

Thus, displacement = Work/force

Displacement = 500/160

Displacement = +3.125 m

Thus, displacement is in the same direction as the force vector.

6) We are given;

Displacement; d = 18 m.

Workdone; W = -970 J

Like in the first answer above,

Workdone = Force × Displacement

Thus;

Force = Workdone/Displacement

Force = -970/18

Force = -53.89 N

Since force is negative and displacement is positive, it means force is in an opposite direction relative to the displacement.
