Answer:

No

Explanation:

It is well explained in the question itself that the accident took place at mid night on a full moon.

At mid night , the moon will be high on sky, it will not be rising.

So the statement of driver is false as there will not be any moon rising on eastern horizon when moon is already at the highest on sky.

This shows he is certainly lying and police should not believe him.

At full moon the moon is directly opposite the sun as viewed from earth.

That is, when the sun is setting the moon is rising. At midnight a full

moon would be directly overhead.

A mechanic has a wrench where the hand grip is 0.40 m from the axis of the bolt. To apply a torque of 170 N m with this wrench w
Grace [21]

Answer:

4.3 * 10 N

Explanation:

To calculate torque, we multiply the distance from the pivot by the perpendicular (the part of the force that acts at right angles to the displacement vector) component of the force to the displacement vector from the pivot.

torque  = distance from pivot *  perpendicular force

170 Nm= 0.4 m * F

F = 425 N = 4.3 * 10 N rounded off to two significant figures

The distance that a spring will stretch varies directly as the force applied to the spring. A force of 8080 pounds is needed to
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

F₂= 210 pounds

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

Hooke's law

Hooke's law establishes that the elongation (x) of a spring is directly proportional to the magnitude of force (F) applied to it, provided that said spring is not permanently deformed:

F= K*x   Formula (1)

Where;

F  is the magnitude of the force applied to the spring in Newtons (Pounds)

K is the elastic spring constant, which relates force and elongation. The higher its value, the more work it will cost to stretch the spring. (Pounds/inch)

x the elongation of the spring (inch)

Data

The data given is incorrect because if we apply them the answer would be illogical.

The correct data are as follows:

F₁ =80 pounds

x₁= 8 inches

x₂= 21  inches

Problem development

We replace data in formula 1 to calculate  K :

F₁= K*x₁

K=( F₁) / (x₁)

K=( 80) / (8) = 10 pounds/ inche

We apply The formula 1 to calculate  F₂

F₂= K*x₂

F₂= (10)*(21)

F₂= 210 pounds

The greater the pull of gravity on an object, the greater the what of that object
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

weight

Explanation:

" the greater the pull of gravity on an object, the greater the weight of that object." In physics, weight is measured in newtons (N), the common unit for measuring force.
