Answer:

$\boxed{ \sf{see \: below}}$

Explanation

The unit of force, Newton is a derived unit because it depends on three fundamental units. i.e kilogram , meter and second.

Two concrete spans of a 380 m long bridge are

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

4.163 m

Explanation:

Since the length of the bridge is

L = 380 m

And the bridge consists of 2 spans, the initial length of each span is

$L_i = \frac{L}{2}=\frac{380}{2}=190 m$

Due to the increase in temperature, the length of each span increases according to:

$L_f = L_i(1+ \alpha \Delta T)$

where

$L_i = 190 m$ is the initial length of one span

$\alpha =1.2\cdot 10^{-5} ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ is the temperature coefficient of thermal expansion

$\Delta T=20^{\circ}C$ is the increase in temperature

Substituting,

$L_f=(190)(1+(1.2\cdot 10^{-5})(20))=190.0456 m$

By using Pythagorean's theorem, we can find by how much the height of each span rises due to this thermal expansion (in fact, the new length corresponds to the hypothenuse of a right triangle, in which the base is the original length of the spand, and the rise in heigth is the other side); so we find:

$h=\sqrt{L_f^2-L_i^2}=\sqrt{(190.0456)^2-(190)^2}=4.163 m$

A red blood cell is 7 x 10-6 m in size. This means it is 7 __________ in size. What unit completes the sentence?

aalyn [17]

If a red blood cell is 7 x $10^-^6$ m in size, it means that such a cell is 7 microns or micrometer in size. The unit that completes the sentence will, thus, be microns or micrometer.

According to international system of measurement:

$10^{-1}$ m = decimeter

$10^{-2}$ m = centimeter

$10^{-3}$ m = millimeter
$10^{-6}$ m = micrometer or micron
$10^{-9}$ m = nanometer

Thus, a measurement of 7 x $10^-^6$ m is the same is 7 micons or 7 micrometer.

A child, hunting for his favorite wooden horse, is running on the ground around the edge of a stationary merry-go-round. The ang

olga55 [171]

Answer:

9.22 s

Explanation:

One-quarter of a turn away is 1/4 of 2π, or π/2 which is approximately 1.57 rad

Let t (seconds) be the time it takes for the child to catch up with the horse. We would have the following equation of motion for the child and the horse:

For the child: $s_c = \omega_ct = 0.233t$

For the horse: $s_h = s_0 + a_ht^2/2 = 1.57 + 0.0136t^2/2 = 1.57 + 0.0068t^2$

For the child to catch up with the horse, they must cover the same angular distance within the same time t:

$s_c = s_h$

$0.233t = 1.57 + 0.0068t^2$

$0.0068t^2 - 0.233t + 1.57 = 0$

$t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

$t= \frac{0.233\pm \sqrt{(-0.233)^2 - 4*(0.0068)*(1.57)}}{2*(0.0068)}$

$t= \frac{0.233\pm0.11}{0.0136}$

t = 25.05 or t = 9.22

Since we are looking for the shortest time we will pick t = 9.22 s

When the force acting on the body equal to acceleration?

topjm [15]

Answer:

Acceleration and velocity Newton's second law says that when a constant force acts on a massive body, it causes it to accelerate, i.e., to change its velocity, at a constant rate. In the simplest case, a force applied to an object at rest causes it to accelerate in the direction of the force.
