Answer:

57908 N

Explanation:

Let's first convert Dumbo's mass into kg using the given relationship: 2.2 pounds =1 kg.

Then, 13000 lbs = 13000/2.2 kg = 5909 kg

Now, let's find the force of gravity on Dumbo at the surface of the earth, which would be in magnitude equal to the normal force that the Earth's surface applies on Dumbo.

F = m * a = 5909 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 57908 N

Which way will the people on the right move? Why? Plz answer

Scrat [10]

Probably to the right because the force on the left is greater and will therefore overpower the 2N force and push to the right

As part of an interview for a summer job with the Coast Guard, you are asked to help determine the search area for two sunken sh

MrMuchimi

Answer: $37^{\circ}$ North of west

Explanation:

Given

40,000-ton luxury line traveling 20 knots towards west and

60,000 ton freighter traveling towards North with 10 knots

suppose v is the common velocity after collision

conserving momentum in west direction

$20\times 40,000=(20,000+60,000)v\cos \theta$

suppose the final velocity makes \theta angle with x axis

$v\cos \theta =10----1$

Conserving Momentum in North direction

$10\times 60,000=80,000\times v\sin\theta$

$v\sin \theta =\frac{15}{2}----2$

divide 1 and 2

$\tan \theta =\frac{3}{4}$

$\theta =37^{\circ}$

so search in the area $37^{\circ}$ North of west to find the ship

Flow around curved height contours requires the incorporation of the centrifugal force. What is the general term to describe the

lilavasa [31]

Answer: Gradient Wind

Explanation:

Gradient wind, is the wind that accounts for air flow along a curved trajectory. It is an extension of the concept of geostrophic wind; for example the wind assumed to move along straight and parallel isobars (lines of equal pressure). The gradient wind represents the actual wind better than the geostrophic wind, especially when both wind speed and trajectory curvature are large, because they are in hurricanes and jet streams.

Silver has a mass of 10.5 grams and a volume of 19.3 cm3. What is its density?

Neko [114]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.54 g/cm³</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question we have

$density = \frac{10.5}{19.3} \\ = 0.54404145...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
