How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram-skier at a rate of 1.2 m/sec^2?
DiKsa [7]
<span>Answer: Force = 81.6 N

Explanation:
According to Newton's Second law:
F = ma --- (1)

Where F = Force = ?
m = Mass = 68 kg
a = Acceleration = 1.2 m/s^2

Plug in the values in (1):
(1) => F = 68 * 1.2
F = 81.6 N (The force needed to accelerate the skier at a rate of 1.2 m/s^2)</span>

A boat is able to move through still water at 20 m/s. It makes a round trip to a town 3.0 km upstream. If the river flows at 5m/
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Option e) 320 s

Explanation:

Here, distance = 3.0 km = 3000 m

The velocity of boat when it is going upstream;

Upstream velocity = velocity of boat in still water - velocity of river flow

So, Upstream velocity =20m/s-5m/s=15m/s

So,Time to go upstream

(t_{1}) =\frac{Distance}{Velocity}=\frac{3000m}{15m/s} =200 s

The velocity of boat when it is going downstream;

Downstream velocity = velocity of boat in still water + velocity of river flow

So, Downstream velocity =20m/s+5m/s=25m/s

So,Time to go downstream

(t_{2}) =\frac{Distance}{Velocity}=\frac{3000m}{25m/s} =120 s

So, total time (t) = t_{1}+t_{2}=200s+120 s=320s

Option E is the correct answer.

the average american receives 2.28 mSv dose equivalent from radon each year. Assuming you receive this dose, and it all comes fr
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The approximate number of decays  this represent  is  N= 23*10^{10}  

Explanation:

 From the question we are told that

    The amount of Radiation received by an average american is I_a = 2.28 \ mSv

     The source of the radiation is S = 5.49 MeV \ alpha \ particle

 Generally

            1 \  J/kg = 1000 mSv

   Therefore  2.28 \ mSv = \frac{2.28}{1000} = 2.28 *10^{-3} J/kg

Also  1eV = 1.602 *10^{-19}J

  Therefore  2.28*10^{-3} \frac{J}{kg} = 2.28*10^{-3} \frac{J}{kg}  * \frac{1ev}{1.602*10^{-19} J} = 1.43*10^{16} ev/kg

           An Average american weighs 88.7 kg

      The total energy received is mathematically evaluated as

        1 kg ------> 1.423*10^{16}ev \\88.7kg  --------> x

Cross-multiplying and making x the subject

           x = 88.7 * 1.423*10^{16} eV

              x = 126.2*10^{16}eV

Therefore the total  energy  deposited is x = 126.2*10^{16}eV

The approximate number of decays  this represent  is mathematically evaluated as

            N = \frac{x}{S}

Where n is the approximate number of decay

   Substituting values

                             N = \frac{126 .2*10^{16}}{5.49*10^6}  

                                  N= 23*10^{10}
