Answer:

18 N

Explanation:

Force can be found using the following formula.

f= m*a

where m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

We know the desk has a mass of 36 kilograms. We also know that its acceleration is 0.5 m/s^2.

m= 36 kg

a= 0.5 m/s^2

Substitute these values into the formula.

f= 36 kg * 0.5 m/s^2

Multiply 36 and 0.5

f=18 kg m/s^2

1 kg m/s^2 is equivalent to 1 Newton, or N.

f= 18 Newtons

The force being applied is 18 kg m/s^2, Newtons, or N

olchik [2.2K]

Answer: d. 8.25 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that Current= 5 m/s in j direction

Velocity= 8 m/s i + 3 m/s j

Now, we have to find Jada's speed with respect to the water.

First we find Jada's velocity with respect to water

v= (8 i + 3 j) - (5 j)

v= 8i - 2 j

To find the speed, we take the magnitude of this velocity vector we have

|v|= $\sqrt{(8)^2+(-2)^2}$

|v|= $\sqrt{68}$ = 8.246 m/s

which comes out to be around = 8.25 m/s

So option d is correct.

Answer:

A) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed increases.

Explanation:

The complete question is

A merry-go-round spins freely when Diego moves quickly to the center along a radius of the merry-go-round. As he does this, It is true to say that

A) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed increases.

B) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed decreases.

C) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed remains the same.

D) the moment of inertia of the system increases and the angular speed increases.

E) the moment of inertia of the system increases and the angular speed decreases

In angular momentum conservation, the initial angular momentum of the system is conserved, and is equal to the final angular momentum of the system. The equation of this angular momentum conservation is given as

$I_{1} w_{1} = I_{2} w_{2}$ ....1

where $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$ are the initial and final moment of inertia respectively.

and $w_{1}$ and $w_{2}$ are the initial and final angular speed respectively.

Also, we know that the moment of inertia of a rotating body is given as

$I = mr^{2}$ ....2

where $m$ is the mass of the rotating body,

and $r$ is the radius of the rotating body from its center.

We can see from equation 2 that decreasing the radius of rotation of the body will decrease the moment of inertia of the body.

From equation 1, we see that in order for the angular momentum to be conserved, the decrease from $I_{1}$ to $I_{2}$ will cause the angular speed of the system to increase from $w_{1}$ to $w_{2}$ .

From this we can clearly see that reducing the radius of rotation will decrease the moment of inertia, and increase the angular speed.

To aid in the prevention of tooth decay, it is recommended that drinking water contain 0.800 ppm fluoride, F−. How many grams of

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

2.23 × 10^6 g of F- must be added to the cylindrical reservoir in order to obtain a drinking water with a concentration of 0.8ppm of F-

Explanation:

Here are the steps of how to arrive at the answer:

The volume of a cylinder = ((pi)D²/4) × H

Where D = diameter of the cylindrical reservoir = 2.02 × 10^2m

H = Height of the reservoir = 87.32m

Therefore volume of cylindrical reservoir = (3.142×202²/4)m² × 87.32m = 2798740.647m³

1ppm = 1g/m³

0.8ppm = 0.8 × 1g/m³

= 0.8g/m³

Therefore to obtain drinking water of concentration 0.8g/m³ in a reservoir of volume 2798740.647m³, F- of mass = 0.8g/m³ × 2798740.647m³ = 2.23 × 10^6 g must be added to the tank.

Thank you for reading.
