Answer: When the worker is on the top rung

Explanation: When the ladder was initially resting on the wall, the torque from the normal reaction on ladder from the horizontal surface is equal to the torque from the vertical surface on ladder.

The weight of the worker produces a torque which is in the direction of the torque from the normal reaction on ladder, produced by the vertical surface. Therefore for the ladder to stay in rotational equilibrium, the torque on ladder from the normal reaction produced by the horizontal surface must increase.

This increase is possible when the worker is on the lower rung, but as the worker goes high, the magnitude of normal reaction from the vertical surface would increase, thereby increasing the risk of slipping of ladder.

How much force must be applied for a 150.W motor to keep a package moving at 3.00m/s?
leva [86]

The force must be applied for motor to keep the package moving is 50 N.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is the action of push or pull the object in order to make it move or stop.

Power is related to force and velocity as

P = F x v

150 W = F x 3 m/s

F  =50 N

Thus, the force must be applied for motor to keep the package moving is 50 N.

How would you respond to a person who argued that the Big Bang theory is incorrect because it is only a theory and theories have
Umnica [9.8K]

Well, you would reply that that's not what theories are. Theories explain the how and the why, laws explain the what. So, the Big Bang theory isn't "just a theory". It's a theory, it explains the how. (Also, if someone tells you it's anti-God or whatever, tell them the thoery was created by a Catholic scientist. True fact.) I hoped this helped!!! (You don't have the include who created the theory if this is for homework.)

Chemical weathering is greatest under conditions of
Pavel [41]
<h2>Answer: higher mean annual rainfall and temperatures. </h2>

Explanation:

Chemical weathering is the set of destructive processes through which rocky materials go trhough. These processes cause changes in the color, texture, composition, firmness and shape of the material.

It should be noted that this happens when the rocks come into contact with atmospheric agents such as oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Another important aspect is that rocks are able to break up more easily thanks to this type of weathering, since <u>the mineral grains within the rock lose adherence and dissolve better under the action of some physical agents</u>, such as <u>humidity (rainfall included) and temperature</u>.

Therefore:

Chemical weathering is greatest under conditions of <u>higher mean annual rainfall and temperatures. </u>

Given that,

The following statements about a pseudoscientific idea.

(a). It is biased in its results.

(b). It can be tested and observed.

(c). It can be replicated and verified.

(d). It is improved with new information.

We know that,

Pseudo science :

In a pseudoscience, such as statements, trusts and facts about whom it is said these are scientific and logical but these statements is anomalous through the scientific method.

So, we can say that the statement is true about a pseudoscientific idea that is It can be replicated and verified

Hence, It can be replicated and verified.
