Ksenya-84 [330]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

$\boxed{Force \: needed = 50 \: N}$

Given:

Mass = 20 kg

Acceleration = 2.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Force = mass × acceleration

= 20 × 2.5

= 50 kg m/s² or 50 N

A proton, traveling with a velocity of 4.6 × 106 m/s due east, experiences a magnetic force that has a maximum magnitude of 6.0

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

$B = 0.0815 T$

since the direction of force is along south so the magnetic field must be upwards

Explanation:

Force on moving charge in magnetic field is given as

$F = q(\vec v \times \vec B)$

here we know this is force on proton

so we have

$q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

$F = 6.0 \times 10^{-14} (-\hat j) N$

also we know that the velocity of charge is

$v = 4.6 \times 10^6 \hat i m/s$

now from above formula we have

$(6.0 \times 10^{-14}) = (1.6 \times 10^{-19})(4.6 \times 10^6)B$

$B = 0.0815 T$

since the direction of force is along south so the magnetic field must be upwards

The mass of a glass beaker is known to be 24.2 g. Approximately 5 mL of water are added, and the mass of the beaker and water is

Kamila [148]

Answer: 2 significant figures in 6.4

Explanation:

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

Rules for significant figures:

Digits from 1 to 9 are always significant and have infinite number of significant figures.

All non-zero numbers are always significant. For example: 654, 6.54 and 65.4 all have three significant figures.

All zero’s between integers are always significant. For example: 5005, 5.005 and 50.05 all have four significant figures.

All zero’s preceding the first integers are never significant. For example: 0.0078 has two significant figures.

All zero’s after the decimal point are always significant. For example: 4.500, 45.00 and 450.0 all have four significant figures.

Mass of beaker = 24.2 g

Mass of beaker + mass of water = 30.625 g

Mass of water = 30.625 - Mass of beaker = 30.625 - 24.2 = 6.4g

The rule apply for the addition and subtraction is :

The answer would contain same number of decimal places as there are in the least precise number present.

Thus there are 2 significant figures in mass of water which is 6.4 grams.

Which statement illustrates how progress in engineering has affected the natural environment?

kvasek [131]

Answer:

A. Extracting mineral resources with modern mining equipment removes fertile topsoil.

Explanation:

Mining is defined as the process that involves the extraction of valuable minerals from large amounts of waste rock.

Progress in engineering has affected the natural environment and mining is one of the best examples of this. The use of modern mining equipment removes fertile topsoil and highly influences the fertility of the soil. It is hard to reconstruct topsoil and modern mining equipment continuously damaging soil fertility.

Hence, the correct answer is "A. Extracting mineral resources with modern mining equipment removes fertile topsoil."

The two forces acting on a skydiver are __________ and air _____________.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Gravity and

Air resistance

Explanation:

The two forces acting on a skydiver are gravitational force and air resistance.

Gravitational force is a force that tends to pull all massive bodies towards the center of the earth. It works on all bodies that has mass. The larger or bigger the mass, the more the pull of gravity on the body.

Air resistance is the drag of air on a body as it passes to it. It is resisting force.

When a sky diver jumps out of a plane, he/she encounters both gravity and air resistance.
It soon balances both force and attain terminal velocity.
Air resistance is a frictional force that opposes motion.
This frictional force pushes in the opposite direction of motion
Motion direction is downward due to the celerity caused by gravity.
