Answer:

(a) F = 1500 N.

(b) Ratio force to the antelepe's weight = 3.40

Explanation:

Force : This can be defined as the product of mass and the distance moved by a body. Its S.I unit is Newton. It can be represented mathematically as

F = Ma

Where F= force, M = mass (Kg) and a = Acceleration (m/s²)

Weight: This can be defined as the force on a body due to gravitation field. It is also measured in Newton (N). It can be represented mathematically as

W = Mg

Where W = weight of the body, M = mass of the body (Kg), g = Acceleration due to gravity.

(a)

F = Ma

Where M = 45kg,

a = unknown.

But we can look for acceleration Using one of the equation of motion,

v² = u² + 2gs

Where v= final velocity(m/s), u = initial velocity (m/s) g = 0 m/s, g = 9.8m/s² and s = height = 2.5m.

∴ v² = 2gs

 v = √2gs = √(2×9.8×2.5)

v= √49 = 7m/s

With the force applied, the impala’s velocity must increase from 0 m/s to 7 m/s in 0.21 second

∴ a = (v-u)/t

 a = (7-0)/0.21 = 7/0.21

  a = 33.33 m/s².

F = 45 × 33.33 ≈ 1500

F = 1500 N.

(b)

Where F = Force = 1500 N

and W = Weight = Mg = 45 × 9.8 = 441 N

∴Ratio force to the antelepe's weight = F/W = 1500/441 = 3.40

 Ratio force to the antelepe's weight = 3.40

Which "spheres" are interacting when water evaporates from plants
Novay_Z [31]
The plant grows in the solid part of earth, the lithosphere. When water evaporates from the plant, it enters the hydrosphere, the portion if earth on kand and in the air that contains water. The atmosphere is part of the hydrosphere.

In Florida, once you have had your learner's license for _________________ without any traffic convictions, you will receive an
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

One year

Explanation:

In Florida, once you have had your learner's license for 1 year without any traffic convictions, you will receive an intermediate license.

The rule for Florida is that if a driver drives safely without any conviction during that year of his trial, he will receive an intermediate license. This means that he is now completely eligible and safe to drive around Florida's roads.

I hope the answer is helpful.

Thanks for asking.

What mass of a material with density rho is required to make a hollow spherical shell having inner radius r1 and outer radius r2
Margarita [4]

Answer:

m=\rho\times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times(r_2^3-r_1^3  )

Explanation:

  • We have to make a hollow sphere of inner  radius r_1 and outer radius r_2.

Then the mass of the material required to make such a sphere would be calculated as:

Total volume of the spherical shell:

V_t=\frac{4}{3} \pi.r_2^3

And the volume of the hollow space in the sphere:

V_h=\frac{4}{3} \pi.r_1^3

Therefore the net volume of material required to make the sphere:

V=V_t-V_h

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi(r_2^3-r_1^3)

  • Now let the density of the of the material be \rho.

<u>Then the mass of the material used is:</u>

m=\rho.V

m=\rho\times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times(r_2^3-r_1^3  )

Why are not all<br>materials conductive<br>to electricity​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

In conductive materials, the outer electrons in each atom can easily come or go, and are called free electrons. In insulating materials, the outer electrons are not so free to move. All metals are electrically conductive.
