Answer:

Well it really depends because he found out about a lot of things in a lot of scientific fields actually. He is known for contributing Pascal's triangle and probability theory. He also invented an early digital calculator and a roulette machine. In the field of physics, Blaise contributed to the study of atmospheric pressure by discovering that vacuums are real and exist in the real world.

Calculate the magnitude of the normal force on a 25.2 kg block in the following circumstances. (Enter your answers in N.) HINT (

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

when the body is resting N = 246.96 N

when the body is resting on a tilted surface N = 212.12 N.

when the body is in a elevator N = 317.036 N

Explanation:

when the block is resting on a stationary surface the normal force is balanced by the weight of the body.

weight of the body = mg = 25.2×9.8 = 246.96 N

therefore normal force = 246.98 N.

when the block is resting on a tilted surface the normal force will be balanced by the $\cos \theta$ component of the weight where Ф is the angle of inclination.

therefore N = mg $\cos \Phi$

N= 212.12 N.

when the block is resting on a elevator that is accelerated upward the normal force will be the sum of weight and force due to acceleration ma

therefore N = 246.98 + 25.2×2.78

N = 317.036 N

Is it illegal to attempt gerrymandering

IRINA_888 [86]

Explanation:

The US Supreme Court has affirmed in Miller v. Johnson (1995) that racial gerrymandering is a violation of constitutional rights and upheld decisions against redistricting that is purposely devised based on race. However, the Supreme Court has struggled as to when partisan gerrymandering occurs (Vieth v.

An object (mass 12.5 kg) slides on a frictionless surface at 1.32 m/s. How much work must be done to bring the object to rest

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

10.89 J.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 12.5 kg

Velocity (v) = 1.32 m/s

Work done =?

To obtain the workdone, we shall determine the kinetic energy of the object since work and energy has the same unit of measurement. This is illustrated below:

Mass (m) = 12.5 kg

Velocity (v) = 1.32 m/s

Kinetic energy (K.E) =?

K.E = ½mv²

K.E = ½ × 12.5 × 1.32²

K.E = 6.25 × 1.7424

K.E = 10.89 J

The kinetic energy of the object is 10.89 J. Hence, the workdone in bringing the object to rest is 10.89 J.

The engine starter and a headlight of a car are connected in parallel to the 12.0-V car battery. In this situation, the headligh

stepladder [879]

Answer:

The total power they will consume in series is approximately 2.257 W

Explanation:

The connection arrangement of the headlight and the engine starter = Parallel to the battery

The voltage of the battery, V = 12.0 V

The power at which the headlight operates in parallel, $P_{headlight}$ = 38 W

The power at which the kick starter operates in parallel, $P_{kick \ starter}$ = 2.40 kW

We have;

P = V²/R

Where;

R = The resistance

V = The voltage = 12 V (The voltage is the same in parallel circuit)

For the headlight, we have;

R₁ = V²/ $P_{headlight}$ = 12²/38 = 72/19

R₁ = 72/19 Ω

For the kick starter, we have;

R₂ = V²/ $P_{kick \ starter}$ = 12²/2.4 = 60

R₂ = 60 Ω

When the headlight and kick starter are rewired to be in series, we have;

Total resistance, R = R₁ + R₂

Therefore;

R = ((72/19) + 60) Ω = (1212/19) Ω

The current flowing, I = V/R

∴ I = 12 V/(1212/19) Ω = (19/101) A

We note that power, P = I²R

In the series connection, we have;

$P_{headlight}$ = I² × R₁

∴ $P_{headlight}$ = ((19/101) A)² × 72/19 Ω = 1368/10201 W ≈ 0.134 W

The power at which the headlight operates in series, $P_{headlight, S}$ ≈ 0.134 W

$P_{kick \ starter}$ = ((19/101) A)² × 60 Ω = 21660/10201 W ≈ 2.123 W

The power at which the kick starter operates in series, $P_{kick \ starter, S}$ ≈ 2.123 W

The total power they will consume, $P_{Total}$ = $P_{headlight, S}$ + $P_{kick \ starter, S}$

Therefore;

$P_{Total}$ ≈ 0.134 W + 2.123 W = 2.257 W
