Answer:

FALSE.

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that :

Every action has equal and opposite reaction
That is , the magnitude is the same but the directions are opposite
The action reaction forces DONOT operate on the same body.

For example ,

If a block is kept on the ground , the action force is the normal force acting on it due to the ground. BUT , NOTE THAT : the reaction force isn't the gravitational force on the body ! It is the normal force acting on the ground due to the block !

Thus,

we conclude that action and reaction forces donot act on the same body and therefore , this case has the answer : FALSE

A skier is pulled by a towrope up a frictionless ski slope that makes an angle of 12 degrees with the horizontal. The rope moves

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given,

Work done by the rope 900 m/s.
Angle of inclination of the slope = $\theta\ =\ 12^o$
Initial speed of the skier = v = 1.0 m/s
Length of the inclined surface = d = 8.0 m

part (a)

The rope is doing the work against the gravity on the skier to uplift up to the inclined surface. Therefore the work done by the rope is equal to the work done on the skier due to the gravity

$\therefore W_r\ =\ W_g\ =\ 900\ J$

In both cases the height attained by the skier is equal. and the work done by gravity does not depend upon the speed of the skier.

part (b)

Initial speed of the skier = v = 1.0 m/s.

Rate of the work done by the rope is power of the rope.

$Power\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\dfrac{d}{v}}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W\times v}{d}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{900\times 1.0}{8.0}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ 112.5\ Watt$

Part (c)

Initial speed of the skier = v = 2.0 m/s.

Rate of the work done by the rope is power of the rope.

Why are units of measurement useful?

Zanzabum

Without the ability to measure, it would be difficult for scientists to conduct experiments or form theories. Not only is measurement important in science and the chemical industry, it is also essential in farming, engineering, construction, manufacturing, commerce, and numerous other occupations and activities.

the average american receives 2.28 mSv dose equivalent from radon each year. Assuming you receive this dose, and it all comes fr

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The approximate number of decays this represent is $N= 23*10^{10}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The amount of Radiation received by an average american is $I_a = 2.28 \ mSv$

The source of the radiation is $S = 5.49 MeV \ alpha \ particle$

Generally

$1 \ J/kg = 1000 mSv$

Therefore $2.28 \ mSv = \frac{2.28}{1000} = 2.28 *10^{-3} J/kg$

Also $1eV = 1.602 *10^{-19}J$

Therefore $2.28*10^{-3} \frac{J}{kg} = 2.28*10^{-3} \frac{J}{kg} * \frac{1ev}{1.602*10^{-19} J} = 1.43*10^{16} ev/kg$

An Average american weighs 88.7 kg

The total energy received is mathematically evaluated as

$1 kg ------> 1.423*10^{16}ev \\88.7kg --------> x$

Cross-multiplying and making x the subject

$x = 88.7 * 1.423*10^{16} eV$

$x = 126.2*10^{16}eV$

Therefore the total energy deposited is $x = 126.2*10^{16}eV$

The approximate number of decays this represent is mathematically evaluated as

N = $\frac{x}{S}$

Where n is the approximate number of decay

Substituting values

$N = \frac{126 .2*10^{16}}{5.49*10^6}$

$N= 23*10^{10}$

A boy is holding a ball 1 m from the ground with a force of 20 N. He holds it still for 60seconds. How much power in watts is be

Sergio [31]

Answer:

Power = 0.33 Watts

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 1m

Force = 20N

First of all, we would solve for the work done by the boy.

Workdone = force * distance

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Workdone = 20*1 = 20J

Now to find power;

Power = workdone/time

Power = 20/60

Power = 0.33 Watts.

An object has a weight of 9 n when it is in air and 7.2 n when it is submerged into water. what is the specific gravity of the o

White raven [17]

The specific gravity of the object’s material is 5.09.

<h3>To calculate the specific gravity of the object:</h3>

Weight difference = 9 - 7.2 = 1.8 N = Buoyant force of water

Buoyant Force in water(Fb) = density of water x g x volume of the body(Vb)

1.8 = 1000 x 9.81 x Vb

Vb = 1.8/9810 cubic meter

Now, in the air;

Weight of body = mg = 9 N

Mass of body,m = 9/9.81 Kg

So,

Density of body = m/ Vb

= 9/9.81 ÷ 1.8/9810

= 5094.44 kg per cubic meter

The specific gravity of body = density of body ÷ density of water

= 5094.44 ÷ 1000

= 5.09

Therefore, Specific gravity of body = 5.09
