The resultant force on the object is

∑ F = 〈0, 8〉 N + 〈6, 0〉 N = 〈6, 8〉 N

which has a magnitude of

F = √((6 N)² + (8 N)²) = √(100 N²) = 10 N

By Newton's second law, the acceleration has magnitude a such that

F = m a

10 N = (2 kg) a

a = (10 N) / (2 kg)

a = 5 m/s²

so the answer is B.

german

Answer:

The Enlightenment.

Explanation:

The Enlightenment took place during the eighteen century and it typically involved a period of philosophical, cultural and intellectual movement in which ideas on nature, reason, humanity and God were emphasized on greatly over science and superstition through meetings that were held at coffeeshops, scientific academies, literary salons, masonic lodges, etc. Some of the influential philosophers of the enlightenment were Adam Smith, John Locke, Jean Jacques Rousseau, David Hume, Baruch Spinoza, Montesquieu, Hugo Grotius, Denis Diderot, Gottfried Wilhelm, Cesare Beccaria, Immanuel Kant etc. The enlightenment was also known as the age of reason or the age of enlightenment.

Hence, the enlightenment was a period in European history when many educated people stressed the importance of learning and reasoning; education was considered the key to understanding and solving society's problems.

Blood pressure is usually measured by wrapping a closed air-filled jacket equipped with a pressure gage around the upper arm of

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

a) High and low pressures are 15.999 kilopascals and 10.666 kilopascals, respectively.

b) High and low pressures are 2.320 pounds per square inch and 1.547 pounds persquare inch, respectively.

c) High and low pressures are 1.632 meters water column and 1.088 meters water column, respectively.

Explanation:

a) High and low pressures in kilopascals:

101.325 kPa equals 760 mm Hg, then, we can obtain the values by a single conversion:

$p_{high} = 120\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{101.325\,kPa}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{high} = 15.999\,kPa$

$p_{low} = 80\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{101.325\,kPa}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{low} = 10.666\,kPa$

High and low pressures are 15.999 kilopascals and 10.666 kilopascals, respectively.

b) High and low pressures in pounds per square inch:

14.696 psi equals 760 mm Hg, then, we can obtain the values by a single conversion:

$p_{high} = 120\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{14.696\,psi}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{high} = 2.320\,psi$

$p_{low} = 80\,mm\,Hg\times\frac{14.696\,psi}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{low} = 1.547\,psi$

High and low pressures are 2.320 pounds per square inch and 1.547 pounds persquare inch, respectively.

c) High and low pressures in meter water column in meters water column:

We can calculate the equivalent water column of a mercury column by the following relation:

$\frac{h_{w}}{h_{Hg}} = \frac{\rho_{Hg}}{\rho_{w}}$

$h_{w} = \frac{\rho_{Hg}}{\rho_{w}}\times h_{Hg}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$\rho_{w}$ , $\rho_{Hg}$ - Densities of water and mercury, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$h_{w}$ , $h_{Hg}$ - Heights of water and mercury columns, measured in meters.

If we know that $\rho_{w} = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $\rho_{Hg} = 13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $h_{Hg, high} = 0.120\,m$ and $h_{Hg, low} = 0.080\,m$ , then we get that:

$h_{w, high} = \frac{13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }{1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} } \times 0.120\,m$

$h_{w, high} = 1.632\,m$

$h_{w, low} = \frac{13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }{1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} } \times 0.080\,m$

$h_{w, low} = 1.088\,m$

High and low pressures are 1.632 meters water column and 1.088 meters water column, respectively.

What is the wavelength of a wave that has a speed of 3 km/s and a frequency of 12 Hz? A. 36 km B. 3.6 km C. 0.25 km D. 4 km

butalik [34]

Answer:

c. 0.25km

Explanation:

v=f x wavelength

3000 = 12 x wavelength

wavelength = 3000/12 = 250m

250m to km

To convert m to km, we divide by 1000

250/1000 =0.25km

wavelength = 0.25km

Airida [17]

F = G m1*m2 / r^2 => [G] = [F]*[r]^2 /([m1]*[m2]) = N * m^2 / kg^2

That is one answer.

Also, you can use the fact that N = kg*m/s^2

[G] = kg * m / s^2 * m^2 / kg^2 = m^3 /(s^2 * kg)
