Answer:

The net force on the skater is zero. ( $F_{net} = 0\,N$ )

Explanation:

According to Newton's First Law, an object is at equilibrium when either it is at rest or moves at constant velocity, which means a net force of zero. Based on the given statement, there are no external forces acting on skate and, therefore, the net force on the skater is zero. ( $F_{net} = 0\,N$ )

Why can gases and liquids both transmit heat by convection?

Firlakuza [10]

Basically, the temperature is a result of the average kinetic energy of all the atoms comprising the solid/liquid/gas. In solid, these atoms can just vibrate in place, leaving them to only be able to conduct and radiate heat. However, as you probably know liquids and solids take the shape of their container because the bonds between atoms are loose enough to allow them to freely move around. Due to each individual atom having its own energy, and these atoms being free to move about the liquid/gas they collide with other atoms in the substance. These collisions result in a transfer of energy. Finally, lower energy atoms "sink" and higher energy atoms "rise" thus creating a "convection current".

All atoms of the element potassium have 19 protons. One of the most stable types of potassium atoms has the mass number 39. How

nydimaria [60]

For atoms in the periodic table, the given mass number is the sum of the number of the protons (also called the atomic number) and the number of the neutrons inside its nucleus. Mathematically,
mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons
Substituting,
39 = 19 + n
n = 39 - 19 = 20
Therefore, the answer is not found in the choices.

A person swings a 0.546-kg tether ball tied to a 4.56-m rope in an approximately horizontal circle. If the maximum tension the r

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

2.1 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a tether ball, m = 0.546 kg

Length of a rope, l = 4.56 m

The maximum tension the rope can withstand before breaking is 11.0 N

We need to find the maximum angular speed of the ball. Let v is the linear velocity. The maximum tension is balanced by the centripetal force acting on it. It can be given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{11\times 4.56}{0.546}} \\\\=9.584\ m/s$
