As per the question the mass of the boy is 50 kg.

The boy sits on a chair.

We are asked to calculate the force exerted by the boy on the chair at sea level.

The force exerted by boy on the chair while sitting on it is nothing else except the force of gravity of earth i.e the weight of the body .The direction of that force is vertically downward.

At sea level the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

Hence the weight of the boy w = mg  [m is the mass of the body]

we have m = 50 kg.

                             Hence w = 50 kg ×9.8 m/s^2

                                             =490 N kg m/s^2

                                              = 490 N

Here newton [N] is the unit of force.

A neutron at rest decays (breaks up) to a proton and an electron. Energy is released in the decay and appears as kinetic energy
SashulF [63]

Answer:

5.444\times 10^{-4}

Explanation:

The momentum of the neutron before and after the decay  is the same since there's no external force.

P_{sys}=const\\\\P=mv\\\\K=0.5mv^2

#The neutron is initially at rest, so after the decay:

P_A+P_B=0\\\\P_A=-P_B

#After decay, the proton has +ve direction  with a velocity v_Awhile the electron moves in a negative direction with a velocity v_B

Therefore:

P_A=m_Av_A, P_B=m_Bv_B\\\\\therefore m_Av_A,=m_Bv_B

Let the energy released during the decay be Q:

Q=K_{tot}=K_A+K_B\\\\Q=K_A+0.5m_Bv_B^2\\\\Q=K_A+0.5m_B(\frac{m_A}{m_B})^2v_A^2\\\\\ But \ K_A=0.5m_Av_A^2\\\\\therefore Q=K_A+\frac{m_A}{m_B}K_A=K_A(1+\frac{m_A}{m_B})\\\\=Q=\frac{m_A+m_B}{m_B}K_A\\\\m_A=1836m_B\\\\\frac{K_A}{Q}=\frac{m_B}{1836m_B+m_B}=\frac{1}{1837}\\\\\frac{K_A}{Q}=5.444\times10^{-4}

Hence,Kp/Ktot is 5.444x10^(-4)

Which of the following can easily be studied objectively? history meteorology sociology theology
Vilka [71]
<h2>Answer: meteorology </h2>

Explanation:

From the given options , meteorology is the only one that can be studied objectively, since it is an interdisciplinary science that relies on basic sciences such as physics and mathematics and applied sciences to the study of the atmosphere, the weather, the phenomena produced and the physical laws that govern it. In addition, meteorology uses objective techniques to study and predict the various phenomena that occur in the atmosphere.

Unlike history, sociology and theology, in which there is a possibility of the existence of some data are subjective and not true or only based on opinions <u>without scientific evidence</u>.

A toy rocket is launched with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s in the horizontal direction from the roof of a 38.0-m-tall buildin
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Consider downward displacement first .

downward displacement h = 38 m .

downward acceleration = g

downward initial velocity u = 0

h = ut + 1/2 g t ²

38 = 0 + 9.8 t ²

t = 1.97 s

During this period , there will be horizontal displacement with initial velocity u = 10 m /s and acceleration a = 1.6 m /s²

s = ut + 1/2 a t²

= 10 x 1.97 + .5 x 1.6 x 1.97²

= 19.7 + 3.10

= 22.8 m
