Answer:

The total normal force acting on the system is approximately 58.8 N

Explanation:

The masses arranged in the stack are;

3 kg, 2 kg, and 1 kg

The mass of the stack system, m = 3 kg + 2 kg + 1 kg = 6 kg

Weight = The force of gravity on an object = m·g

Where;

m = The mass of the object

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

∴ The weight of the stack system, W ≈ 6 kg × 9.8 m/s² ≈ 58.8 N

The direction of the weight force = Perpendicular to the surface (acting downwards)

From Newton's third law of motion, the normal force acts perpendicular to the plane and it is equal in magnitude to the force acting perpendicular to the plane

∴ The magnitude of the total normal force acting on the system = The magnitude of the weight of the system ≈ 58.8 N

The (magnitude of the) total normal force acting on the system ≈ 58.8 N

If Steve throws the football 50 meters in 3 seconds, what is the average speed of the football? Speed = distance / time Question

leva [86]

Answer:

A. 16.67 m/s

Explanation:

Speed or velocity refers to the rate of change in distance over a change in time. That is;

Speed = Distance ÷ time

Where;

Speed is in metre/seconds

Distance is in metre

Time is in seconds.

In this question, Steve throws a football 50 meters in 3 seconds. The average speed can be calculated this:

S = D/t

Where; d = 50m, t = 3s

S = 50/3

S = 16.6666666

S = 16.67m/s

What type of energy waves are used in Solar Cells, and what is it’s position on the electromagnetic spectrum?

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: Electromagnetic waves (Ultraviolet light, between 100 nm and 380 nm)

Explanation:

Solar cells work by the photoelectric effect, which consists of the emission of electrons (electric current) when light (electromagnetic waves) falls on a metal surface under certain conditions.

In this sense, the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum this cells use is Ultraviolet light (UV) from the Sun, whose wavelength is approximately between 100 nm and 380 nm.

It is important to note, this is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.

Before the big bang, the universe was much ____ and _____ than it is now.

Dahasolnce [82]

The answer to the question is that before the big bang, the universe was much hotter and more dense than it is now. Letter B.
It is because after the big bag occurred, the universe became cooler and less dense.
a. - does not correspond in the answer because the universe became less dense after the big bang.
c - the universe became cool and less dense after the big bang so being cool and less dense does not correspond to the question.
d - cooler does not answer the question because it only became cooler after the big bang.

Suppose the moon rotated on its axis just as quickly as Earth. Would we still always see the same side of the moon from Earth?

jasenka [17]

Answer:

No, The Moon, on the other hand, rotates once around its every 28 days, and once around the Earth in that same 28 days. The result of this combination is that the same side of the Moon is always facing the Earth.
