Answer:

294 N

Explanation:

The weight of an object is the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the object.

The direction of this force is always towards the Earth's centre, while the magnitude is given by:

$W=mg$

where

W is the weight

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Here we have:

m = 30 kg is the mass of the object

g = 9.8 N/kg is the acceleration due to gravity

So, the weight of the object is

$W=(30)(9.8)=294 N$

If this plastic cup is heated to its melting

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

A. The particles will begin to move enough

that they slide past each other.

Explanation:

When the plastic cup is heated, the Kinetic energy of its particles starts increasing. As the temperature rises, the kinetic energy keeps increasing. With the increase of K.E, the particles start moving faster and faster. When the temperature finally reaches the melting point, the K.E of the molecules is enough to break the bonds and slide past each other.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer: solar winds

Explanation:

<u>A solar wind is composed of high speed charged particles (plasma) ejected from the Corona- the upper atmosphere of the Sun. </u>When the temperature of the corona crosses 2 million degrees, the rapidly moving particles are not held by the Sun's gravity and release away into the solar system.

<u>The Solar wind travels throughout the solar system and carries magnetic clouds along with it. It could be damaging to life if it could reach the surface but the planet's magnetic field shields us and redirects the material beyond it. </u>

Solar wind must have reached the planet Jupiter and Dr. Tate and Dr. Ramirez would be studying its effects.

Why is it advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope?

hram777 [196]

Answer:

While the bus is moving, luggage tends to remain in inertia of motion state. When the bus stops, the luggage tends to resist the change and due to inertia of motion it moves forward and may fall off. That's why it is advised to tie any luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope.

You’ve made the finals of the science Olympics. As one of your tasks you’re given 1.0 g of copper and asked to make a cylindrica

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Length = 2.92 m

Diameter = 0.11 mm

Explanation:

We have $m = dl D \ \ \& \ \ \ R = \frac{\rho l}{A}$ , where:

$l$ is the length

$m = 1.0 g = 1 \times 10^{-3} \ kg\\R = 1.3 \ \Omega\\\rho = 1.7 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m\\d = 8.96 \ g/cm^3 = 8960 kg/m^3$

We divide the first equation by the second equation to get:

$\frac{m}{R} = \frac{d A^2}{\rho}$

$A^2 = \frac{m \rho}{dR} \\\\A^2 = \frac { 1 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.7 \times 10^{-8}}{8960 \times 1.3}\\\\A^2 = 1.5 \times 10^{-15}\\\\ A= 3.8 \times 10^{-8} \ m^2$
