Answer:

Original Weight = 48 N

Explanation:

When an object hanging from the roof of an elevator and the elevator moves upward with a certain acceleration say a, then the observe weight is always greater than the actual weight.

And when elevator moves downward direction with acceleration a, then the observe weight is always lesser than the actual weight.

Given data:

a = 2.45 m/s²

Balance reading = Tension = T = 60 N

As elevator moves upward,

So,

               T = m(g + a)

         60 N = m(9.81 + 2.45)

               m = 60/12.26

               m = 4.89 kg

This is the original mass of the hanging fish.

We know that

                Weight = W = mg

                                W = 4.89 × 9.81

                                W = 48 N

Estimate the magnitude of the electric field due to the proton in a hydrogen atom at a distance of
Lana71 [14]

Electric field due to a point charge is given as

E = \frac{kq}{r^2}

here we know that

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

also the distance is given as

r = 5.29 \times 10^{-11} m

now we will have

E = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{(5.29 \times 10^{-11})^2}

so we will have

E = 5.14 \times 10^{11} N/C

so above is the electric field due to proton

The line graph below shows the number of downloads of two songs after
daser333 [38]

Answer: D

1200

Explanation:

Song 1 is spotted with a cube sign.

At 3 minute, trace the spot to the vertical axis. And you will notice that it a little bit above 10.

Since it is above 10, let assume it is equal to 12.

The number of song downloaded are in hundreds. Therefore, multiply the 12 by 100

12 × 100 = 1200 downloads

Approximately, song 1 has 1200 downloads at minute 3

a catcher "gives" with the ball when he catches a 0.196 kg baseball moving at 31 m/s. if he moves his glove a distance of 5.32 c
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

3540.5N

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m= 0.196kg

speed  v= 31m/s

distance r= 5.32cm = 0.0532m

Step two

The expression relating force, mass, velocity and distance is

F= mv^2/r

substitute we have

F=0.196*31^2/0.0532

F=0.196*961/0.0532

F=188.356/0.0532

F=3540.5N
