Here we know that mass of the person is 90 kg

His weight is given as 30 lbf

so here we can convert it into Newton as we know that

1 lbf = 4.45 N

Now from above conversion

30 lbf = 30 \times 4.45 = 133.45 N

now we can use this to find the gravity at this height

mg = 133.45

90\times g = 133.45

g = 1.49 m/s^2

now we know that with height gravity varies as

g' = g(\frac{R}{R+H})^2

1.49 = 9.8(\frac{6.37\times 10^6}{6.37\times 10^6 + h})^2

h = 1.0 \times 10^7 m

so above is the height from the surface of earth

A student pushes a 12.0 kg box with a horizontal force of 20 N. The friction force on the box is 9.0 N. Which of the following i
Hoochie [10]

The acceleration of the box is approximately 1 m/s^2

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force acting on the box is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m = 12.0 kg is the mass of the box

a is the acceleration

The net force can be written as

\sum F = F_a - F_f

where

F_a = 20 N is the applied forward force

F_f=9.0 N is the friction force

Combining the two equations,

F_a-F_f=ma

And solving for the acceleration,

a=\frac{F_a-F_f}{m}=\frac{20-9}{12}=0.9 m/s^2\sim 1 m/s^2

The temperature at 8:00
musickatia [10]
Change in temperature = final temperature - Initial temperature 
Δt = t₂ - t₁
Δt = 17 - (-6)
Δt = 17 + 6 = 23 f

In short, Your Answer would be Option D

Hope this helps!

Thermal energy can be converted into motion by which of the following devices?
Ivanshal [37]
C.) Steam engine!

This is because thermal energy is similar to heat energy. You can think of this like boiling water to create “energy.” This is the same thing boil water to create steam engine!

I hope this is helpful and brainiest if correct!

You suspect that an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is malfunctioning. You need to test the output from the UPS using a multi
zmey [24]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

An Uninterruptible Power Supply abbreviated as UPS is used in case of the failure of the power mains or the input power in order to ensure uninterrupted power supply.

The Ac voltage is first converted to DC and then again inverted to the AC and is fed to the system.

Thus if the UPS malfunctions then in order to check the output using multimeter we use AC voltage setting because the UPS purely supplies AC power, even if the power is  supplied from its internal battery then also it inverts the DC into AC and then supply.
