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

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

What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit? A: 0.500 ohms B: 120.0 ohms C: 2.00 ohms D: 60.0 ohms

Gwar [14]

Answer:

Option D. is the correct choice.

Explanation:

Resistances connected in series add up to give equivalent resistance.

R_eq = 10+20+30 = 60 ohm

Angular and Linear Quantities: A child is riding a merry-go-round that has an instantaneous angular speed of 1.25 rad/s and an a

serious [3.7K]

To solve this problem we will use the kinematic equations of angular motion in relation to those of linear / tangential motion.

We will proceed to find the centripetal acceleration (From the ratio of the radius and angular velocity to the linear velocity) and the tangential acceleration to finally find the total acceleration of the body.

Our data is given as:

$\omega = 1.25 rad/s \rightarrow$ The angular speed

$\alpha = 0.745 rad/s2 \rightarrow$ The angular acceleration

$r = 4.65 m \rightarrow$ The distance

The relation between the linear velocity and angular velocity is

$v = r\omega$

Where,

r = Radius

$\omega =$ Angular velocity

At the same time we have that the centripetal acceleration is

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$a_c = \frac{(r\omega)^2}{r}$

$a_c = \frac{r^2\omega^2}{r}$

$a_c = r \omega^2$

$a_c = (4.65 )(1.25 rad/s)^2$

$a_c = 7.265625 m/s^2$

Now the tangential acceleration is given as,

$a_t = \alpha r$

Here,

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

r = Radius

$\alpha = (0.745)(4.65)$

$\alpha = 3.46425 m/s^2$

Finally using the properties of the vectors, we will have that the resulting component of the acceleration would be

$|a| = \sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}$

$|a| = \sqrt{(7.265625)^2+(3.46425)^2}$

$|a| = 8.049 m/s^2 \approx 8.05 m/s2$

Therefore the correct answer is C.

A scientist prepares a colloidal solution and pours it into a glass tank. She then flashes a beam of white light into one end of

irina [24]

Light is consist of different spectrum of colors called wave lengths. The colors that visible to the naked eye are known as Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. These colors are arranged from shortest to longest. The color red that appeared from the other side of the tank signifies that the wavelength that can only pass through the material is red, which is the shortest. Other wavelengths are dispersed into the molecules of the glass, hence it cannot be seen through the other side.
