Answer:

2.2N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Work done  = 379.5J

Height  = 173m

Unknown:

Amount of force exerted on the sled  = ?

Solution:

The amount of force she exerted on the sled is the same as her weight.

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a distance.

      Work done  = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

     mg  = weight;

        Work done  = weight x h

           379.5 = weight  x  173

           weight  = \frac{379.5}{173}   = 2.2N

A rowboat passenger uses an oar to push the boat off the dock by exerting a force of 40N for 3.0s. What impulse acts on the boat
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

120 Ns

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on an object is given by:

I=Ft

where

F is the force applied

t is the time taken

In this problem, we have:

F = 40 N

t = 3.0 s

So, the impulse acting on the boat is

I=Ft=(40 N)(3.0 s)=120 Ns

If you can throw a stone straight up to height h, what’s the maximum horizontal distance you could throw it over level ground?
Mariana [72]
To answer this question, first we take note that the maximum height that can be reached by an object thrown straight up at a certain speed is calculated through the equation,
                            Hmax = v²sin²θ/2g
where v is the velocity, θ is the angle (in this case, 90°) and g is the gravitational constant. Since all are known except for v, we can then solve for v whichi s the initial velocity of the projectile. 

Once we have the value of v, we multiply this by the total time traveled by the projectile to solve for the value of the range (that is the total horizontal distance).

Which is located farther west the central valley or the coast ranges?
astra-53 [7]
The question is concerned with the regions found within California, which are the Coastal Region, Mountain Region, Central Valley Region, and the Desert Region.
The Coastal Region is located furthest to the west out of all of these regions. The Coastal Region is where the California meets the Pacific Ocean, and it has a somewhat moderate and constant climate throughout the year due to its location near the ocean.

Explain how the global sea surface temperature is affected by solar activity.
Dahasolnce [82]
The higher the solar activity, and the hotter it is, the more the oceans heat up and water evaporates into the atmosphere. High amounts of water vapor causes things like hurricanes. However, oceans have a high absorption rate of heat so they can absorb a lot of it without heating up the atmosphere, which is pretty good or else the Earth would overheat.

The MSDS for chloroform indicates that it is a clear liquid that has a pleasant smell and substantial vapor pressure. People sho
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The correct option is the third option

Explanation:

Firstly, it must be noted that chemicals/reagents that are sensitive to sunlight are stored in dark/amber container in the laboratory. Hence, the chloroform can only be found in an amber/dark bottle.

Also, reagents/chemicals that release poisonous/offensive gases are handled in the fume cupboard in the laboratory. Thus, If Malik is going to pour the chloroform, he should pour it in a fume cupboard to avoid inhaling it because of the toxicity of it's vapor.

From the above explanation, it can be deduced that <u>Malik should locate the chloroform stored in a dark container in chemical storage and should take it to the fume hood to pour</u>.
