Answer:

1.241 kg

Explanation:

The mass of the man in kg is 195 pound * (1/2.2) kg/pound = 195/2.2 = 88.64 kg

If 1.4% of the mass of a human body is calcium, then the mass of calcium inside the 88.64 kg man is

1.4% * 88.64 = 88.64*1.4/100 = 1.241 kg

So there's 1.241 kg of calcium inside a 195-pound man

<h2>Answer:</h2>

1.24kg

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Given;

Mass of the man (M) = 195 pound

<em>First, convert the value to kilograms (kg) as follows;</em>

Note that;

1 pound = 0.453592kg

Therefore,

195 pounds = 195 x 0.453592kg =  88.45kg

<em>Now, since the mass of calcium (say m) in a human body is 1.4% of the mass (M) of the body;</em>

=> m = 1.4% of M

=> m = 1.4% x M ------------------(i)

Where;

M = 88.45kg

<em>Substitute the value of M into equation (i) as follows;</em>

=> m = 1.4 % x 88.45

=> m = (1.4 / 100) x 88.45

<em>Solve for m;</em>

m = 0.014 x 88.45

m = 1.24kg

Therefore, the mass of calcium in the 195-pound man is 1.24kg.

Although we have discussed single-slit diffraction only for a slit, a similar result holds when light bends around a straight, t
user100 [1]

Answer:

The width of the strand of hair is   1.96 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

For this diffraction problem they tell us that it is equivalent to the diffraction of a single slit, which is explained by the equation

<h3>       a sin θ =±  m λ </h3><h3 />

Where the different temrs are: “a” the width of the hair, λ the wavelength, θ the angle from the center, m the order of diffraction, which is the number of bright rings (constructive diffraction)  

We can see that the diffraction angle is missing, but we can find it by trigonometry, where L is the distance of the strand of hair to the observation screen and "y" is the perpendicular distance to the first minimum of intensity

        L = 1.25 m 100 cm/1m   = 125 cm

       y = 5.06 cm  

      Tan θ = y/L

      Tan θ = 5.06/125

      θ = tan⁻¹ ( 0.0405)

      θ =  2.32º

With this data we can continue analyzing the problem, they indicate that they measure the distance to the first dark strip, thus m = 1

     a = m λ / sin θ

     a = 1 633 10⁻⁹ 1.25/sin 2.3

     a = 1.96 10⁻⁵ m  

     a = 0.0196 mm

The width of the strand of hair is   1.96 10⁻⁵ m

Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a electrostatic force of 18.0 units. If the charge
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

new force is 6 times of the initial force.

Explanation:

Let the charges on two objects is q₁ and q₂. The electric force between charges is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a electrostatic force of 18.0 units

If the charge  of Object 1 is doubled and the charge of object 2 is tripled, it means, q_1'=2q_1 and q_2'=3q_2. New force is given by :

F'=\dfrac{kq_1'q_2'}{r^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{k(2q_1)(3q_2)}{r^2}\\\\F'=6\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\F'=6F

So, the new electrostatic force between objects will become 6 times of the initial force.
