Scientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. Calculations indicate that the en

tire structure would sink by a certain amount for every additional floor that is added. If the maximum permissible limit for depression of the structure is 20 centimeters, how many floors can be safely added to the building?

Let's call this "certain amount" with a variable, x, (since it's not specified in the question, I will assume that the answer shall just be based on this variable).

So every additional floor will make the building sink by x, and let's make the unit cm, so x cm.

Now we know that the maximum depression is 20 cm, and it is also

x*y, where y is the number of floors.

So we have x*y=20,

therefore the number of floors is:
20/x or
\frac{20}{x}

Now set the tension to low and wiggle the wrench to create more waves. Can you explain how moving the first point on the string,
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

When the string moves, it creates a very small change in the distance to the next point, th

Explanation:

When the string moves, it creates a very small change in the distance to the next point, this generates a restoring force that tends to push the string back, this small disturbance propagates along the string and is what creates the pulse.

This is similar to what happens when a spring is stretched and a restoring force is generated shaved by the law of shortening.

A bowling ball of mass 5 kg rolls down a slick ramp 20 meters long at a 30 degree angle to the horizontal. What is the work done
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The work done by gravity during the roll is 490.6 J

Explanation:

The work (W) is:

W = F*d

<em>Where</em>:

F: is the force

d: is the displacement = 20 m

The force is equal to the weight (W) in the x component:

F = W_{x} = mgsin(\theta)

<em>Where:</em>

m: is the mass of the bowling ball = 5 kg

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²    

θ: is the degree angle to the horizontal = 30°        

F = mgsin(\theta) = 5 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*sin(30) = 24.53 N    

Now, we can find the work:

W = F*d = 24.53 N*20 m = 490.6 J      

Therefore, the work done by gravity during the roll is 490.6 J.

I hope it helps you!

The distance of Saturn from the sun is:<br><br> &lt; 1 A.U.<br> &gt; 1 A.U.<br> = 1 A.U.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

1 astronomical unit is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun; approximately 150 million km. At its closest point, Saturn is 9 AU, and then at its most distant point, it's 10.1 AU. Saturn's average distance from the Sun is 9.6 AU. We have written many articles about Saturn for Universe Today.
