kondaur [170]3 years ago

Explanation:

1. Force applied on an object is given by :

F = W = mg

(a) A 160 lb human being, F = 160 lb

g = acceleration due to gravity, g = 32 ft/s²

m=\dfrac{F}{g}

m=\dfrac{160\ lb}{32\ ft/s^2}

m = 5 kg

(b) A 1.9 lb cockatoo, F = 1.9 lb

m=\dfrac{F}{g}

m=\dfrac{1.9\ lb}{32\ ft/s^2}

m = 0.059 kg

2. (a) A 2300 kg rhinoceros, m = 2300 kg

W=2300\ kg\times 32\ ft/s^2=73600\ lb

(b) A 22 g song sparrow, m = 22 g = 0.022 kg

W=0.022\ kg\times 32\ ft/s^2=0.704\ lb

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which best describes a characteristic of an adiabatic process?
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

<h3>Can you please provide the choices? For now this is all I can give you.</h3>

Explanation:

In thermodynamics, an adiabatic process is a type of thermodynamic process which occurs without transferring heat or mass between the system and its surroundings.Unlike an isothermal process, an adiabatic process transfers energy to the surroundings only as work. It also conceptually supports the theory used to explain the first law of thermodynamics and is therefore a key thermodynamic concept.

A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year. The speed of light is 3.00 × 108 m/s. How many miles are there in o
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

(a) 5.88\times 10^{12}mi

Explanation:

We have given speed of light c=3\times 10^8m/sec

Given time = 1 year =365 days

We know that in 1 minute = 60 sec

1 hour = 60×60 = 3600 sec

In one day = 24 hour = 24×60×60=86400 sec

So in 365 days = 365×86400=3.1536\times 10^7sec

We know that distance = speed ×time=3.1536\times 10^7\times 3\times 10^8=9.46\times 10^{15}m

We have given that 1 mi = 1609 m

So 9.46\times 10^{15}m=\frac{9.46\times 10^{15}}{1609}=5.88\times 10^{12}miSo option (a) is correct

1.How is the law of conservation of energy demonstrated by the movement of the pendulum?
Snezhnost [94]
1. Law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created, nor destroyed, for example, windmills take kinetic energy(movement energy) and convert it into electrical energy using gears and a generator as well as the blades.

so this supports it because the pendulum never reaches the same height twice unless you reset it so the energy is always getting less and less and not randomly getting back onto the pendulum.

2.Gravity, friction and air resistance slow it down as well

3. at the top, potential energy is the amount of energy something has relative to the amount it can disperse before stopping, for example, a book on a shelf has more potential energy than that of a book on a table, this is because when the shelf book falls it will create more energy than the table book.

A person wants to determine the spring constant of an exercise stretch cord. He pulls the cord with a force probe that exerts a
Burka [1]

Answer:

350 N/m

Explanation:

If we are assuming the stretch does not exceed the elastic range of the material, then by Hooke's law the spring constant of the cord is simply the ratio between the force 70N acting on the cord to stretch 20cm or 0.2m

k = 70 / 0.2 = 350 N/m

The spring constant is 350 N/m
