Answer: The blocks

Explanation:
When the sprinter takes off, he/she presses hard on the block.
The blocks apply an equal and opposite force to the sprinter according to Newton's 3rd law of motion.
The reaction force from the blocks gives the sprinter the initial acceleration to begin the race.

Suppose the average mass of each of 20,000 asteroids in the solar system is 1017 kg. Compare the total mass of these asteroids t
blondinia [14]

Answer:

The mass of the asteroids is 0.000334896182184 times the mass of the Earth.

39929.4542466 m

Explanation:

Total mass of the asteroids

m_a20000\times 10^{17}=2\times 10^{21}\ kg

m_e = Mass of Earth = 5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg

The ratio is

\dfrac{m_a}{m_e}=\dfrac{2\times 10^{21}}{5.972\times 10^{24}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_a}{m_e}=0.000334896182184

The mass of the asteroids is 0.000334896182184 times the mass of the Earth.

Volume is given by

V=\dfrac{m}{\rho}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4\pi}{3\times 8} d^3=\dfrac{m}{\rho}\\\Rightarrow d^3=\dfrac{3\times 8}{4\pi}\dfrac{m}{\rho}\\\Rightarrow d=(\dfrac{3\times 8}{4\pi}\dfrac{m}{\rho})^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow d=(\dfrac{3\times 8}{4\pi}\dfrac{10^{17}}{3000})^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow d=39929.4542466\ m

The diameter is 39929.4542466 m

when two object P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that of
Ahat [919]

<h2>When two object P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that of Q. The mass of P is half that of Q. The ratio of the specific heat capacity of P to Q​</h2>

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity

It is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree celsius .

It is given as :

Heat absorbed = mass of substance x specific heat capacity x rise in temperature

or ,

Q= m x c x t

In above question , it is given :

For Q

mass of Q = m

Temperature changed =T₂/2

Heat supplied = x

Q= mc t

or

X=m x C₁ X T₁

or, X =m x C₁ x T₂/2

or, C₁=X x 2 /m x T₂                                 (equation 1 )

For another quantity : P

mass of P =m/2

Temperature= T₂

Heat supplied is same that is : X

so, X= m/2 x C₂ x T₂                            

or, C₂=2X/m. T₂                                   (equation 2 )

Now taking ratio of C₂ to c₁, We have

C₂/C₁= 2X /m.T₂  /2X  /m.T₂

so, C₂/C₁= 1/1

so, the ratio is 1: 1

A horizontal uniform bar of mass 2.7 kg and length 3.0 m is hung horizontally on two vertical strings. String 1 is attached to t
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

14.36 N

Explanation:

T_{1} = Tension in string 1

T_{2} = Tension in string 2

m_b = mass of the bar = 2.7 kg

W_b = weight of the bar

weight of the bar is given as

W_b = m_{b} g = (2.7) (9.8) = 26.46N

m_m = mass of the bar = 1.35 kg

W_m = weight of the monkey

weight of the monkey is given as

W_m = m_{m} g = (1.35) (9.8) = 13.23N

Using equilibrium of torque about left end

W_{m} (AB) + W_{b} (AB) = T_{2} (AC)\\W_{m} (AB) + W_{b} (AB) = T_{2} (AD - CD)\\(13.23) (1.5) + (26.46)(1.5) = T_{2} (3 - 0.65)\\\\T_{2} = 25.33 N

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction

T_{1} + T_{2} = W_{b} + W_{m}\\T_{1} + 25.33 = 26.46 + 13.23\\T_{1} = 14.36 N
