Answer:

Correct answer:  F = 50 N  weight of backpack

Explanation:

Given:

W = 200 J    work against gravity

h = 4 m  

F = m g = ?

g = 10 m/s²

The work done is a measure of change in this case of potential energy

W = Δ Ep = m g h = F · h ⇒ F = W / h =

F = W / h = 200 / 4 = 50 N

F = 50 N

A rocket, weighing 4.36 x 10^4 N, has an engine that provides an upward force of 8.90 x 10^5 N. It reaches a maximum speed of 86
Pavel [41]

The net force on the rocket is  846400 N.

Answer:

Explanation:

It is known that weight is the influence of gravitational force acting on any mass of the object. So in the present case, the weighing force given is equal to the gravitational force acting on the rocket. Thus, the gravitational force will be acting towards downward direction. But an upward force is required by the rocket for thrusting purpose and that force is given as upward force. So the net force acting on the rocket is the vector addition of all the forces acting on the rocket. As in this case, only upward and downward force is acting on the rocket. The vector addition will be equal to subtraction of downward acting gravitational force from upward force or force provided by engine.

Net force = Engine force - Gravitational force = 890000-43600=846400 N

So the net force acting on the rocket is 846400 N.

A force of 10 N causes a spring to extend by 20 mm. Find a) the spring constant of the spring in N/m b) the extension of the spr
suter [353]

(a) The spring constant is 500 N/m.

(b) The extension of the spring when 25 N force is applied is 0.05 m.

(c) The applied force to cause an extension of 5 mm is 2.5 N.

The given parameters:

  • Applied force, F = 10 N
  • Extension of the spring, x = 20 mm

The spring constant is calculated as follows;

F = kx\\\\k = \frac{F}{x} \\\\k = \frac{10}{20 \times 10^{-3}} \\\\k = 500 \ N/m

The extension of the spring when 25 N force is applied is calculated as follows;

F = kx\\\\x = \frac{F}{k} \\\\x = \frac{25}{500} \\\\x = 0.05 \ m

The applied force to cause an extension of 5 mm is calculated as follows;

F = kx\\\\F = 500 \times 5 \times 10^{-3}\\\\F = 2.5 \ N

Which statement best describes the difference between a substance with a pH of 3.0 and a substance with a pH of 6.0?
satela [25.4K]

The statement best describes the difference between a substance with a pH of 3.0 and a substance with a pH of 6.0 is - The substance with the lower pH has 1,000 times as many hydrogen ions per volume of water.

pH is the scale or measure for the substance about its acidic or basic strength. It ranges from 0 to 6.9 which is acidic and 7.1 to 14 which is basic.

Acidic substance has high concentration of Hydrogen ions whereas, basic substance has low concentration of hydrogen ions, however for the OH⁻ ions it is reverse.

  • Concentration of hydrogen ions is inversely related to its pH
  • More hydrogen ions present, the lower the pH
  • The fewer hydrogen ions, the higher the pH We know,

pH = -log(H^{+}) then,  

=> 3 = -log (H^{+})

=> H^{+} =  (for pH = 3)  

=> pH = -log(H^{+})

=> 6 = -log (H^{+})

=> H^{+} = 10^{-6} (for pH = 6)

 Thus, The substance with the lower pH (3) has 1000 times as many hydrogen ions per volume of water.
