The correct answer is B. 24 N.

To figure out the exact force the cart exerts on the woman, we have to use Newton's third law of motion.  Newton's third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This means that if object  1 exerts a force on object 2 , object 2 will exert an equal but opposite force on object 1.

This law allows us to ignore the masses of the chart and the women and focus on the  pairs of forces the woman and the chart apply to each other.  Since the woman exerts a force of 24 N on the chart, the chart will exert a force of 24 N on the woman.

The correct answer is B. 24 N.

An egg is thrown upward with a velocity of 4.5 m/s. How long will it take to reach it's maximum height?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

0.45 seconds

Explanation:

Letting the value of g = 10 m/s/s

final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (since the egg will come to rest at the maximum height)

initial velocity(u) = 4.5 m/s

acceleration = -10 m/s/s (since the gravity is acting against the egg)

time = t seconds

From the first equation of motion:

<em>v = u + at</em>

<em>0 = 4.5 + (-10)t</em>

<em>t = -4.5 / -10</em>

t = 0.45 seconds

A car drives 23m/s east for 35 seconds. What is the displacement?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

805m

Explanation:

Speed = displacement/time

Speed = 23m/s

Time = 35s

Displacement = speed × time

= 23 × 35

= 805m

Find the final temperature of 375 grams of tea (c = 4.184 J/g°C) if its initial temperature is 95°C just before it is placed in
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

the final temperature of the tea is 7.39⁰C.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the tea, m = 375 g

specific heat capacity of the tea, C = 4.184 JJ/g°C

initial temperature of the tea, t₁ = 95°C

the final temperature of the tea, t₂ = ?

Energy lost by the refrigerator, Q = 137,460 J

The energy lost by the refrigerator is given by the following formula;

-Q = mc(t₂ - t₁)

-137,460 =375 x 4.184(t₂ - 95°C)

-137,460 = 1569(t₂ - 95°C)

t_2-95 = \frac{-137,460}{1569} \\\\t_2-95 = -87.61\\\\t_2 = -87.61 + 95\\\\t_2 = 7.39 \ ^0 C

Therefore, the final temperature of the tea is 7.39⁰C.

The copper wire and bulb is connected in a series with 220 V electric supply. Why only an electric bulb glows where as the coppe
Sveta_85 [38]
-- In a series circuit, the current ( I ) is the same at every point.

-- The power dissipated by any section of the circuit is I² x Resistance.

-- The wire has very low resistance, so I²R is very low dissipated power.

-- The filament in the bulb has most all of the resistance in the circuit,
so it dissipates virtually all the power of the circuit, and certainly much
more than the wires do.

The average depth of Indian Ocean is about 3000m.Calculate the fractional compression. ▲v/v, of water at the bottom of the ocean
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

∴ fractional compression = 1.34 × 10⁻²

Explanation:

given,

depth of Indian ocean = 3000 m

Bulk modulus of the water = 2.2 x 10⁹ N/m²

We know,

P = P₀ + ρgh

P₀ is the atmospheric pressure

P₀ = 10⁵ N/m²

ρ is the density of the water, 1000 Kg/m³

P = 10⁵ + 1000 × 9.8 × 3000 = 2.94 × 10⁷ N/m²

using formula,

B = P/{-∆V/V}

B is bulk modulus and { -∆V/V} is the fractional compression

\dfrac{-\Delta V}{V} = \dfrac{2.94 \times 10^7}{2.2 \times 10^9}

\dfrac{-\Delta V}{V} =1.34 \times 10^{-2}

∴ fractional compression = 1.34 × 10⁻²
