Since you already gave us the weight of the 2.5-kg box,
we don't even need to know what the distance is, just
as long as it doesn't change.

Look at the formula for the gravitational force:

                           F = G  m₁ m₂ / R² .

If 'G', 'm₁' (mass of the Earth), and 'R' (distance from the Earth's center)
don't change, then the Force is proportional to  m₂ ... mass of the box,
and you can write a simple proportion:

                       (6.1 N) / (2.5 kg)  =  (F) / (1 kg)

Cross-multiply:  (6.1 N) (1 kg)  =  (F) (2.5 kg)

Divide each side by (2.5 kg):  F = (6.1N) x (1 kg) / (2.5 kg)  =  2.44 N .

A hydrogen discharge lamp emits light with two prominent wavelengths: 656 nm (red) and 486 nm (blue). The light enters a flint-g
mezya [45]

Answer:

The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of red = 656 nm

Wavelength of blue = 486 nm

Angle = 37°

Suppose we need to find the angle between the red and blue light as it leaves the prism

n_{r}=1.572

n_{b}=1.587

We need to calculate the angle for red wavelength

Using Snell's law,

n_{r}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{r}

Put the value into the formula

1.572\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{r}

\theta_{r}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.572\sin37}{1})

\theta_{r}=71.0^{\circ}

We need to calculate the angle for blue wavelength

Using Snell's law,

n_{b}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{b}

Put the value into the formula

1.587\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{b}

\theta_{b}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.587\sin37}{1})

\theta_{b}=72.7^{\circ}

We need to calculate the angle between the red and blue light

Using formula of angle

\Delta \theta=\theta_{b}-\theta_{r}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta \theta=72.7-71.0

\Delta \theta=1.7^{\circ}

Hence, The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Each value in nature has a number part, called its____<br> and a dimension, or unit
saul85 [17]

Answer:

<u>Magnitude</u>

Explanation:

Each value in nature has a number part, called its magnitude and a dimension called its unit.

For example,

The length of an object is 10 cm. It means that 10 shows the magnitude of length and cm shows its unit.

A firefighting crew uses a water cannon that shoots water at 25.0 m/s at a fixed angle of 53.0° above the horizontal. The fire-f
zysi [14]

Answer:

8.8 m and 52.5 m

Explanation:

The vertical component and horizontal component of water velocity leaving the hose are

v_v = vsin(\alpha) = 25sin(53^0) = 25*0.8 = 19.97 m/s

v_h = vcos(\alpha) = 25cos(53^0) = 25*0.6 = 15 m/s

Neglect air resistance, vertically speaking, gravitational acceleration g = -9.8m/s2 is the only thing that affects water motion. We can find the time t that it takes to reach the blaze 10m above ground level

s = v_vt + gt^2/2

10 = 19.97t - 9.8t^2/2

4.9t^2 - 19.97t + 10 = 0

t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

t= \frac{19.9658877511823\pm \sqrt{(-19.9658877511823)^2 - 4*(4.9)*(10)}}{2*(4.9)}

t= \frac{19.9658877511823\pm14.24}{9.8}

t = 3.49 or t = 0.58

We have 2 solutions for t, one is 0.58 when it first reach the blaze during the 1st shoot up, the other is 3.49s when it falls down

t is also the times it takes to travel across horizontally. We can use this to compute the horizontal distance between the fire-fighters and the building

s_1 = v_ht_1 = 15*0.58 = 8.8 m

s_2 = v_ht_2 = 15*3.49 = 52.5m

Why is it important to use placebos and a double-blind approach in some studies
viktelen [127]
Another name for these two words is "constant" and you want to have a "constant", because you want something to compare your experimental group to, to see whether data had changed or not. So you have placebos or a double- blind to compare your experimental group to it and also so you know you don't have a bias or anything in the study.

A student pushes on a 20.0 kg box with a force of 50 N at an angle of 30° below the horizontal. The box accelerates at a rate of
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

225 N

Explanation:

"Below the horizontal" means he's pushing down at an angle.

Draw a free body diagram of the box.  There are three forces: normal force N pushing up, weight force mg pulling down, and the applied force F at an angle θ.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N − mg − F sin θ = 0

N = F sin θ + mg

Plug in values:

N = (50 N) (sin 30°) + (20.0 kg) (10 m/s²)

N = 225 N
