Answer:

40,000N of force

Explanation:

The formula for force is F=ma. If we plug in the values, F=(20,000kg)(2m/s^2).

ioda

Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

object is falling Freely with an odometer

Suppose it falls with zero initial velocity

so distance fallen in time t is given by

$h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

here u=0 and t=time taken

$h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

for $t=1 s$

$h_1=\frac{1}{2}g$

for $t=2 s$

$h_2=\frac{1}{2}g(2)^2=\frac{4}{2}g=2g$

distance traveled in 2 nd sec $=2g-\frac{1}{2}g=\frac{3}{2}g$

for $t=3 s$

$h_3=\frac{1}{2}g(3)^2=\frac{9}{2}g$

distance traveled in 3 rd sec $=\frac{9}{2}g-2g=\frac{5}{2}g$

so we can see that distance traveled in each successive second is increasing

In a thermostat, what property of the bimetallic coil allows it to contract and expand? The two metals absorb different amounts

Reika [66]

Hello!

In a thermostat, the property of the bimetallic coil that allows it to contract and expand is that The two metals absorb different amounts of thermal energy.

This bimetallic coil is used to transform thermal energy into mechanical movement. Two metals with different thermal expansivity are joined together parallelly and the changes of temperature cause bending in different directions depending on if the temperature is rising or descending.

The differences in the thermal energy absorption of the two metals are the basis for the mechanism of this device.

Why should the substage condenser not be included in computing the magnification?

Leni [432]

The reason as to why the substage condenser does not need to be included in computing the magnification and the only component needed is the ocular lens and the objective lenses is because the condenser is only responsible for gathering light and it does not contribute with the magnification of the object under the microscope.

Question 2.

choli [55]

Explanation:

1 inch = 25.4 mm

1 foot = 12 inches

1 mile = 5260 feet

1 cm = 0.01 m or 10 mm

Now Sammy's height is 5 feet and 5.3 inches.

(a) We need to find Sammy's height in inches.

Since, 1 foot = 12 inches

5 feet = 5 × 12 inches = 60 inches

Now, 5 feet and 5.3 inches = 60 inches + 5.3 inches = 65.3 inches

Sammy's height is 65.3 inches.

(b) We need to find Sammy's height in feet.

Since, 1 foot = 12 inches

$1\ \text{inch}=\dfrac{1}{12}\ \text{feet}$

So,

$5.3\ \text{inch}=\dfrac{5.3}{12}\ \text{feet}=0.4416\ \text{feet}$

5 feet and 5.3 inches = 5 feet + 0.4416 feet = 5.44 feet

Sammy's height is 5.44 feet.

An elevator together with its passengers weights 5000 N. At a certain instant, the tension in its supporting cable is 6000 N. De

gayaneshka [121]

We have to forces acting on the system (elevator+passengers):
1) The weight (W=5000 N), acting downward
2) The cable's tension (T=6000 N), acting upward
So, the two forces have opposite direction. The resultant (in upward direction) will be
$F=T-W$
And for Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the system causes an acceleration on the system itself, given by
$a= \frac{F}{m}$
where m is the mass of the system.

So, we need to find F and m.
The resultant of the forces is
$F=T-W=6000 N-5000 N=1000 N$
To find m, we can use the weight of the system. In fact, the weight of an object is given by
$W=mg$
where $g=9.81 m/s^2$ . Solving for m, and using W=5000 N, we find
$m= \frac{W}{g}= \frac{5000 N}{9.81 m/s^2}=510 kg$

and at this point, we can calculate the acceleration of the system (elevator+people):
$a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{1000 N}{510 kg}=1.96 m/s^2$
and the acceleration has the same direction of the resultant force, so upward.
