Answer:

You will not need any mass to determine the mass of the stick.

Explanation:

The mass of an object, like the stick, can only be determined according to Newton's second law, which states that the mass of an object is equal to the force of that object, divided by the mass of the object. It is obvious that we do not know what is the force and acceleration value of the stick shown in the question above, however, it is impossible to know what is the mass of it, adding external masses to the stick.

Water flows over a section of Niagara Falls at the rate of 1.2×106 kg/s and falls 50.0 m. How much power is generated by the fal

quester [9]

Answer:

5.88×10⁸ W

Explanation:

Power = energy / time

P = mgh / t

P = (m/t) gh

P = (1.2×10⁶ kg/s) (9.8 m/s²) (50.0 m)

P = 5.88×10⁸ W

3. a) If the distance between two objects increases by a factor of 5 (5),

irina [24]

Answer:

Answer for A

Explanation:

F1=GmM/r1^2

If r2 becomes r2=5r

F2=GmM/(25r^2)

Multiply with 25 gives to maintain the same force

I.e.,25F2=F1

F2=G(25m)M/25r^2=F1

By the factor 25 would change to increase to same.

Star A and Star B have different apparent brightnesses but identical luminosities. Star A is 10 light years away from earth and

STALIN [3.7K]

intensity of a star is inversely depends on the square of the distance from the star

we can say it is given as

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}$

here we know that

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = 36 times$

also we know that

$r_1 = 10 Ly$

now we will have

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}$

$36 = \frac{r_2^2}{10^2}$

$r_2 = 60 Ly$

so other star is at distance 60 Light years

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why?

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why? Because it uses Pascal's idea and principle: F=p*S. If we apply small force to small piston you will generate a pressure. According to Pascal's law pressure is the same everywhere in closed system so the same pressure will act on large piston on the other side too.
