A man has a mass of 110 kg. What is his weight? A. 110N B. 1325 N C. 559 N D. 1078 N

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Given:

Mass = m = 110 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s

Required:

Weight = W = ?

Formula

W = mg

Solution:

W = (110)(9.8)

W = 1078 N

A boxer can hit a heavy bag with great force. Why can't he hit a piece of tissue paper in midair with the same amount of force?

12345 [234]

Answer:

This is due to impulse

Explanation:

Impulse equal to mΔv and FΔt

You can set these equal as mΔv = FΔt

When a boxer punches a tissue, it is like punching a cushion or a pillow. The time that the hit takes is much grater than if they were to hit something solid. In addition, the change in velocity of the boxer's arm would be much greater when they hit a punching bag. In this equation, the greater the time, the less force that is needed.

Time dilation: A missile moves with speed 6.5-10 m/s with respect to an observer on the ground. How long will it take the missil

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The time taken by missile's clock is $4.6\times 10^{6} s$

Solution:

As per the question:

Speed of the missile, $v_{m = 6.5\times 10^{3}} m/s$

Now,

If 'T' be the time of the frame at rest then the dilated time as per the question is given as:

T' = T + 1

Now, using the time dilation eqn:

$T' = \frac{T}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$\frac{T'}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$\frac{T + 1}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$1 + \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$1 + \frac{1}{T} = (1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2})^{- \frac{1}{2}}$ (1)

Using binomial theorem in the above eqn:

We know that:

$(1 + x)^{a} = 1 + ax$

Thus eqn (1) becomes:

$1 + \frac{1}{T} = 1 - \frac{- 1}{2}.\frac{v_{m}^{2}}{c^{2}}$

$T = \frac{2c^{2}}{v_{m}^{2}}$

Now, putting appropriate values in the above eqn:

$T = \frac{2(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}{(6.5\times 10^{3})^{2}}$

$T = 4.6\times 10^{6} s$

A current of 15.0 A flows through an electric heater operating on 120 V. Compute the power consumption of the electric heater.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

There will be 1800 W power consumption in heater

Explanation:

We have given current flowing in the heater I = 15 A

Voltage on which heater is operating V = 120 volt

We have to find the power consumption in the heater

We know that power consumption is given by P = VI

So power consumption in heater = 120 × 15 = 1800 W

So there will be 1800 W power consumption in heater

Which of the following is NOT a function of the lens in the eye?

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

it is a light receptor that generates nerve signals that are sent to the brain

Explanation:

the lens are like the glasses, this means that is used to see things better. You just put them in your eye and that's all it's not connected to the brain
