Apply Newton's second law to the person's motion:

F = ma

F = net force, m = mass, a = acceleration

Given values:

m = 50.8kg, a = 3.50m/s²

Plug in and solve for F:

F = 50.8(3.50)

F = 178N

As shown in the diagram, two forces act on an object. The forces have magnitudes F1 = 5.7 N and F2 = 1.9 N. What third force wil

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Second option 6.3 N at 162° counterclockwise from

F1->

Explanation:

Observe the attached image. We must calculate the sum of all the forces in the direction x and in the direction y and equal the sum of the forces to 0.

For the address x we have:

$-F_3sin(b) + F_1 = 0$

For the address and we have:

$-F_3cos(b) + F_2 = 0$

The forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ are known

$F_1 = 5.7\ N\\\\F_2 = 1.9\ N$

We have 2 unknowns ( $F_3$ and b) and we have 2 equations.

Now we clear $F_3$ from the second equation and introduce it into the first equation.

$F_3 = \frac{F_2}{cos (b)}$

Then

$-\frac{F_2}{cos (b)}sin(b)+F_1 = 0\\\\F_1 = \frac{F_2}{cos (b)}sin(b)\\\\F_1 = F_2tan(b)\\\\tan(b) = \frac{F_1}{F_2}\\\\tan(b) = \frac{5.7}{1.9}\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{5.7}{1.9}) = b\\\\b= 72\°\\\\m = b +90\\\\\m= 162\°$

Then we find the value of $F_3$

$F_3 = \frac{F_1}{sin(b)}\\\\F_3 =\frac{5.7}{sin(72\°)}\\\\F_3 = 6.01 N$

Finally the answer is 6.3 N at 162° counterclockwise from

F1->

How do scientists know the continents were once closer than they are today? Explain your answer in 2-3 complete sentences.

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Continental drift describes one of the earliest ways geologists thought continents moved over time. Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics.

The theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener. In the early 20th century, Wegener published a paper explaining his theory that the continental landmasses were “drifting” across the Earth, sometimes plowing through oceans and into each other. He called this movement continental drift.

A capacitor is connected across an ac source. Suppose the frequency of the source is doubled. What happens to the capacitive rea

fgiga [73]

The capacitive reactance is reduced by a factor of 2.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

We know the capacitive reactance is given as,

$Xc = \frac{1}{2\pi fC}$

where,

$Xc\\$ = capacitive reactance

f = frequency

C = capacitance

It is given that frequency is doubled, i.e.,

f' = 2f

To find,

$Xc$ =?

$Xc' = \frac{1}{2\pi f'C}$

$= \frac{1}{2\pi 2f C}$

$= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2\pi fC} )\\$

$Xc' = \frac{1}{2} Xc$

Therefore, the capacitive reactance is reduced by a factor of 2.

I understand the question you are looking for is this:

A capacitor is connected across an AC source. Suppose the frequency of the source is doubled. What happens to the capacitive reactant of the inductor?

The capacitive reactance is doubled.
The capacitive reactance is traduced by a factor of 4.
The capacitive reactance remains constant.
The capacitive reactance is quadrupled.
The capacitive reactance is reduced by a factor of 2.
