Answer:

An object in equilibrium has a net force of zero

Static equilibrium describes an object at rest having equal and balanced forces acting upon it.

Dynamic equilibrium describes an object in motion having equal and balanced forces acting upon it.

Explanation:

An object is said to be in equilibrium when a net force of zero is acting on it. When this condition occurs, the object will have zero acceleration, according to Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

where F is the net force, m the mass of the object, a the acceleration. Since F=0, then a=0. As a result, we have two possible situations:

- If the object was at rest, then it will keep its state of rest. In this case, we talk about static equilibrium.

- If the object was moving, it will keep moving with constant velocity. In this case, we talk about dynamic equilibrium.

Explain why it is esaier to climb a mountain on a zigzag path rather than one straight up the side. is your increase in gravitat

pogonyaev

Answer:

More work done with less power

The increase in gravitational energy is the same as the height which is a function of gravitational energy is the same in both cases

Explanation:

Climbing the mountain in zigzag pattern is easier because

1. The time it takes to climb increases so that the required power or rate of doing work decreases

2. Climbing in zigzag pattern affords the use of leverages by the sides

3. Similar mechanical power gain and efficiency from using a drive screw instead of a nail to fasten items together can be achieved

The increase in gravitational energy is the same gravitational energy ~ mass × gravity ×height

If he feels the chances of low, normal, and high precipitation are 30 percent, 20 percent, and 50 percent respectively, What is

Brilliant_brown [7]

Question:

The operations manager for a well-drilling company must recommend whether to build a new facility, expand his existing one, or do nothing. He estimates that long-run profits (in $000) will vary with the amount of precipitation (rainfall) as follows:

Alternative Precipitation

Low Normal High

Do nothing -100 100 300

Expand 350 500 200

Build new 750 300 0

If he feels the chances of low, normal, and high precipitation are 30 percent, 20 percent, and 50 percent respectively, What is EVPI (Expected value of Perfect Information)?

A. $140,000

B. $170,000

C. $285,000

D. $305,000

E. $475,000

Answer:

D. $170,000

Explanation:

The expected long run profits are for

Low Normal High

Do nothing -100*0.3 100*0.2 300*0.5 = 140

Expand 350*0.3 500*0.2 200*0.5 = 305

Build new 750*0.3 300*0.2 0*0.5 = 285

Therefore the expected long run profits are

$140,000

$305,000

$285,000

Based on his selected option being either to build new or to expand, the most profitable option is to expand

=$305,000

EVPI = EPPI-EMV =$170,000

Earth's gravitational force just got three times stronger! What happens to your weight?

kicyunya [14]

Your "weight" is the name you give to that gravitational force.
So your question actually says:

"Your weight just got three times stronger !
What happens to your weight ?"
