Answer:

3.1 m/s²

Explanation:

Apply Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

40 N = (13 kg) a

a ≈ 3.1 m/s²

Define alpha and beta

elena55 [62]

alpha is the excess return on an investment after adjusting for market related volatility and random fluctuations.

beta is a measure of volatility relative to a benchmark ,such as the S&P 500.

Explanation:

alpha and beta are two different parts of an equation used to explain the performance of stocks and investments funds. But in maths alpha and beta is the Greek alphabet

A block is given an initial velocity of 8.0 m/s up a frictionless 28° inclined plane. (a) What is its velocity when it reaches t

kramer

Answer:

A.) 8 m/s

B.) 7.0 m

Explanation:

Given that a block is given an initial velocity of 8.0 m/s up a frictionless 28° inclined plane.

(a) What is its velocity when it reaches the top of the plane?

Since the plane is frictionless, the final velocity V will be the same as 8 m/s

The velocity will be 8 m/s as it reaches the top of the plane.

(b) How far horizontally does it land after it leaves the plane?

For frictionless plane,

a = gsinø

Acceleration a = 9.8sin28

Acceleration a = 4.6 m/s^2

Using the third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 - 2as

Substitute the a and the U into the equation. Where V = 0

0 = 8^2 - 2 × 4.6 × S

9.2S = 64

S = 64/9.2

S = 6.956 m

S = 7.0 m

If the IMA of a machine is 2 and the effort force is 50 newtons, then the force applied to the resistance is _____. 48 N 50 N 25

zysi [14]

IMA stands for ideal mechanical advantage, which is the theoretical force amplification factor on an ideal mechanical device free of friction, deformations, etc.

If the applied force (effort) is 50N, then the force applied to the resistance is multiplied by the IMA=2 to get 100N.

17 copper wires of length l and diameter d are connected in parallel to form a single composite conductor of resistance R. What

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$\frac{D}{d} = 4.12$

Explanation:

As we know that resistance of one copper wire is given as

$r = \rho \frac{L}{a}$

here we know that

$a = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^2$

now we have

$r = \rho \frac{L}{\pi (\frac{d^2}{4})}$

$r = \rho \frac{4L}{\pi d^2}$

now we know that such 17 resistors are connected in parallel so we have

$R = \frac{r}{17}$

$R = \rho \frac{4L}{17 \pi d^2}$

Now if a single copper wire has same resistance then its diameter is D and it is given as

$R = \rho \frac{4L}{\pi D^2}$

now from above two equations we have

$\rho \frac{4L}{\pi D^2} = \rho \frac{4L}{17 \pi d^2}$

$D^2 = 17 d^2$

now we have

$\frac{D}{d} = 4.12$

A student environmental group is creating a campaign for locally sourced energy resources.What would be best for them to feature

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

<em>A farmer with a field of solar panels.</em>

Explanation:

The closest to a locally sources energy would have been

A coal mine located in their county.

But coal as an energy source is not environmentally friendly due to carbon emission, and should not be what the group should advocate for.

<em>The best bet for them is </em>

<em>A farmer with a field of solar panels.</em>

As solar panels are a source of green energy and green energy is what the environmental group should often and always advocate for
