Answer:

725.2‬ N

Explanation:

Since it is not stated the scale, the person or both accelerated or experience weightlessness, the net force acting on the bathroom scale is the weight of the person acting downward as the person stands on the scale .

Weight = mass of a body × acceleration due to gravity

= 74 kg × 9.8 m/s²

= 725.2‬ N

The graph below shows the position of an ant as it crawls over a flat picnic blanket. The total time for the ant to go from the

Mice21 [21]

The average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.

The correct answer is option D.

In the given graph, we can deduce the following;

the total time of the motion, = 1 mins + 45 s = 60 s + 45 s = 105 s

The average speed of the ant is calculated as;

$average \ speed = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time }$

The total distance from the graph is calculated as follows;

first horizontal distance from 2 cm to 8 cm = 8 - 2 = 6 cm

first upward distance from 3 cm to 5 cm = 5 - 3 = 2 cm

second horizontal distance from 8 cm to 6 cm = 8 - 6 = 2 cm

second upward distance from 5 cm to 12 cm = 12 - 5 = 7 cm

third horizontal distance from 6 cm to 13 cm = 13 - 6 = 7 cm

fourth downward distance from 12 cm to 9 cm = 3 cm

final horizontal distance from 13 cm to 15 cm = 2cm

The total distance = (6 + 2 + 2 + 7 + 7 + 3 + 2) cm = 29 cm

$average \ speed = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time } = \frac{29 \ cm}{105 \ s} = 0.276 \ cm/s$

The average velocity is calculated as the change in displacement per change in time.

The displacement is the shortest distance between the start and end positions.

This shortest distance is the straight line connecting the start and end position. Call this line P

From the end position at x = 15 cm, draw a vertical line from y = 9 cm, to y = 3 cm. The displacement = 9 cm - 3 cm = 6 cm

Also, draw a horizontal line from start at x = 2 cm to x = 15 cm. The displacement = 15 cm - 2 cm = 13 cm

Notice, you have a right triangle, now calculate the length of line P.

↓ 6cm

start -------------13 cm------------

Use Pythagoras theorem to solve for P.

$P^2 = 6^2 + 13^2\\\\P^2 = 36 + 169\\\\P^2 = 205\\\\P= \sqrt{205} \\\\P = 14.318 \ cm$

The average velocity of the ant is calculated as;

$average \ velocity= \frac{\Delta displacemnt }{total\ time }= \frac{14.318 \ cm}{105 \ s} = 0.136 \ cm/s \\\\$

Thus, the average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.

If a machine increases force it must apply the force over a long distance? True or false

Eduardwww [97]

Answer: The machine must apply the force over a shorter distance. That's because a machine doesn't change the amount of work and work equals force times distance. Therefore, if force increases, distance must decrease

FALSE

Help me <3 please Thank you :)

Answer:

11,890

Explanation:

First we need to know what is considered a significant figure.

A significant figure is a value that is not a zero at the start OR end of a value.

Which means, the 0 in the value of 90 or 0.363 are not considered a significant figure.

The 0 in the value of 3056 is considered a significant figure.

So from the table, we can deduce:

0.275 has 3 significant figures

750 has 2 significant figures

$10.4 \times {10}^{5} = 1040000$

has 3 significant figures.

11,890 has 4 significant figures.

320,050 has 5 significant figures.

So from the above, we can already see the answer.
