If the only forces acting on a 2.0kg mass are F1 = (3i-8j)N and F2 = (5i+3j)N, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the

particle?

Answer: 4.7m/s²

Explanation:

According to newton's first law,

Force = mass × acceleration

Since we are given more the one force, we will take the resultant of the two vectors.

Mass = 2.0kg

F1+F2 = (3i-8j)+(5i+3j)

Adding component wise, we have;

F1+F2 = 3i+5i-8j+3j

F1+F2 = 8i-5j

Resultant of the sum of the forces will be;

R² = (8i)²+(-5j)²

Since i.i = j.j = 1

R² = 8²+5²

R² = 64+25

R² = 89

R = √89

R = 9.4N

Our resultant force = 9.4N

Substituting in the formula

F = ma

9.4 = 2a

a = 9.4/2

a = 4.7m/s²

Therefore, magnitude of the acceleration of the particle is 4.7m/s²

A manufacturer provides a warranty against failure of a carbon steel product within the first 30 days after sale. Out of 1000 so
hodyreva [135]

Answer:A) Risk(R)= $1000

B) There is justification for spending an additional cost of $100 to prevent a corrosion whose consequence in monetary terms is $1000

Explanation:R= Risk,

P=Probability of failure

C= Consequence of failure

Mathematically, R=P ×C

10 out of 1000 carbon-steal products failed

Probability of failure= 10/1000 =0.01

The consequence of failure by corrosion given in monetary term =$100,000

Risk of failure = 0.01 × $100,000

R=$1000

The light rays in the illustration below do not properly focus at the focal point. this problem occurs with?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The problem occurs with all spherical mirrors.

Spherical mirrors are practical up to about inches in diameter.

Reflecting telescopes use spherical mirrors for apertures up to about 4 ".

Larger aperture telescopes use parabolic mirrors to obtain sharp focus.

Suppose a planet is discovered by the Doppler technique and is then discovered to have transits. In that case, we can determine
vredina [299]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

The correct answer is option A

Doppler technique is used in sound as well as light. Scientist uses this technique to study the universe by determining how fast stars and galaxies.

Transit is a phenomenon takes place when celestial body celestial passes directly between a larger body and the observer.

Using the Doppler effect we can determine the characteristics of the planet like the orbital period of the planet, size of the planet, mass and density of the planet.

The characteristics of the planet which we cannot find are The rotational period.
