Answer:

your weight changes slightly when you fly in an airplane

Explanation:

Technically, because gravity is weaker the farther you are from a gravitational source, your weight changes slightly when you fly in an airplane. It would change even more if you're in space or on a planet with a different mass than Earth.

A 1,700 kg car is being used to give a 1,400 kg car a push start by exerting a force of

Gwar [14]

Answer:

- 670 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that to every action, there is equal and opposite reaction force. Since the force will be same but different in direction and acted in the same time then the impulses ( force multiply by time) of the two car be same in magnitude but different in direction - 670 kg.m/s

When you whirl a can at the end of a string in a circular path, what is the direction of the force that acts on the can

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Toward the centre of the circular path

Explanation:

The can is moved in a circular path: this means that it is moving by circular motion (uniform circular motion if its tangential speed is constant).

In order to keep a circular motion, an object must have a force that pushes it towards the centre of the circular trajectory: this force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by

$F=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where m is the mass of the object, v its tangential speed, r the radius of the trajectory. This force always points towards the centre of the circular path.

While an emf source supplies energy to a circuit, that energy is dissipated when the current passes through resistance. In deali

fredd [130]

The question is incomplete, the options are;

RI^2

I^2/R

R/I^2

R/V^2

RV^2

V^2/R

VIR

Select all that apply

Answer:

P=RI^2

P=V^2/R

P=VI

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which energy is changing in a circuit. It is shown by the formulas outlined above from the group of answer choices. Since the current (I), voltage (V), and resistance (R) were mentioned in the question, any of three three formulas could be used to obtain the power drawn by the conductor.

The acceleration of the car with the data in the table above would be

neonofarm [45]

The acceleration of the car would be 0.33 first and then it would be 0.17.

Explanation:

An applied force is a force that is applied to an object by an individual or another item. On the off chance that an individual is pushing a work area over the room, at that point there is an applied power following up on the article. The applied power is the power applied on the work area by the individual.

The net force applied to the object rises to the mass of the article increased by the measure of its acceleration. The net power following up on the soccer ball is equivalent to the mass of the soccer ball duplicated by its adjustment in speed each second (its acceleration).

HELP... 3.00 amu = _____ Mev. 3.22 x 10-3 2.79 x 103 3.10 x 102

DanielleElmas [232]

The correct answer is:
$2.79 \cdot 10^3 MeV$
Let's see why.

1 amu corresponds to the mass of the proton, which is:
$m_p = 1.66 \cdot 10^{-27} kg$
if we convert this into energy, using Einstein equivalence between mass and energy, we find:
$E=mc^2 = (1.66 \cdot 10^{-27} kg)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)^2 = 1.49 \cdot 10^{-10} J$
Now we can convert it into electronvolts:
$E= \frac{1.49 \cdot 10^{-10}kg}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} J/eV} =9.34 \cdot 10^9 eV = 934 MeV$

So, 1 amu = 934 MeV. Therefore, 3 amu corresponds to 3 times this value:
$3 amu = 3 \cdot 934 MeV \sim 2790 MeV = 2.79 \cdot 10^3 MeV$
