Answer:

Explanation:

Newton’s Second Law of Motion

Newton’s Second Law of Motion states that ‘when an object is acted on by an outside force, the mass of the object equals the strength of the force times the resulting acceleration’.

This can be demonstrated dropping a rock or and tissue at the same time from a ladder. They fall at an equal rate—their acceleration is constant due to the force of gravity acting on them.

The rock's impact will be a much greater force when it hits the ground, because of its greater mass. If you drop the two objects into a dish of water, you can see how different the force of impact for each object was, based on the splash made in the water by each one.

___ devices need constant power to operate. The timing functions are initiated by the presence or absence of a separate ""trigge

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Solid-state

Explanation:

A solid-state device can be defined as a crystalline material that is typically made up of semiconductor and as such controls the number and rate of flow of charged carriers such as holes or electrons.

Some examples of a solid-state device are light emitting diodes (LED), integrated circuit (IC), Transistors, liquid crystal display (LCD) etc.

A solid-state device such as a transistor, refers to a semiconductor component that is used to control the flow of voltage or current and as a gate (switch) for electronic signals. Thus, a transistor allows for the amplification, control and generation of electronic signals in a circuit.

Hence, solid-state devices need constant power to operate. The timing functions are initiated by the presence or absence of a separate "trigger" signal.

Basically, these solid-state devices use the optical and electrical properties of semiconductor components such as transistors, triacs, thyristors, diodes to perform its input-output switching and isolation functions.

Two concrete spans of a 380 m long bridge are

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

4.163 m

Explanation:

Since the length of the bridge is

L = 380 m

And the bridge consists of 2 spans, the initial length of each span is

$L_i = \frac{L}{2}=\frac{380}{2}=190 m$

Due to the increase in temperature, the length of each span increases according to:

$L_f = L_i(1+ \alpha \Delta T)$

where

$L_i = 190 m$ is the initial length of one span

$\alpha =1.2\cdot 10^{-5} ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ is the temperature coefficient of thermal expansion

$\Delta T=20^{\circ}C$ is the increase in temperature

Substituting,

$L_f=(190)(1+(1.2\cdot 10^{-5})(20))=190.0456 m$

By using Pythagorean's theorem, we can find by how much the height of each span rises due to this thermal expansion (in fact, the new length corresponds to the hypothenuse of a right triangle, in which the base is the original length of the spand, and the rise in heigth is the other side); so we find:

$h=\sqrt{L_f^2-L_i^2}=\sqrt{(190.0456)^2-(190)^2}=4.163 m$

On the way to school, Jed traveled 100m north, 300m east, 100 north, 100m east, and 100m north. A.) Find the total distance trav

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Total distance = 700 m

Displacement = 500 m

Explanation:

Notice that Jed travelled a total of 3 x 100 m = 300 m in the North direction, and 300 m + 100 m = 400 m in the East direction. Therefore the total distance he travelled is: 300 + 400 = 700 m.

But the actual displacement is given by the Pythagorean theorem as the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle of legs 300 m and 400 m:

displacement = $\sqrt{300^2+400^2} =\sqrt{250000} =500\,m$
