You place a box weighing 268.3 N on an inclined plane that makes a 42◦ angle with the horizontal.

Answer:

Wy = - 268.3*cos(42) = - 199.38 [N]

Wx = 268.3*sin(42) = 179.52 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must make a free body diagram, in the attached image we can see a free body diagram.

Taking the inclined X & y axes with the same angle of 42°, we can see that the weight can be decomposed on both axes.

Since the angle is adjacent to the y-axis, we can use the cosine function

Wy = - 268.3*cos(42) = - 199.38 [N]

Wx = 268.3*sin(42) = 179.52 [N]

How much energy is needed to generate 0.71 x 10-16 kg of mass?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

6.39 J of energy is needed to generate 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ kg mass

Explanation:

According to the Equation: E = mc²

where the mass, m = 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ kg

the speed of light, c = 3 * 10⁸ m/s

The amount of energy needed to generate a mass of 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ kg is calculated as follows:

E = (0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶) (3 * 10⁸)²

E = 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ * 9 * 10¹⁶

E = 0.71 * 9

E = 6.39 J

How can the rate of a reaction be decreased?
andre [41]

Answer:

Option A

Lowering the amount of reactants

Explanation:

To reduce the rate of chemical reaction, one can reduce temperature or surface area. The addition of catalysts increases rate of reaction but decreasing the amount of reactants decreases rate of reaction. Therefore, from the choices provided, choice A is correct.

Why would we expect protogalactic clouds with relatively high density to form an elliptical galaxy rather than a spiral galaxy?
Svetlanka [38]

The higher density allows the protogalactic clouds to cool faster and form an elliptical galaxy rather than a spiral galaxy.

In physical cosmology, a protogalaxy or protogalactic cloud , which could also be called a "primeval galaxy", is a cloud of gas which is forming into a galaxy. It is believed that the rate of star formation during this period of galactic evolution will determine whether a galaxy is a spiral or elliptical galaxy; a slower star formation tends to produce a spiral galaxy. The smaller clumps of gas in a protogalaxy form into stars.

Composition

Since there had been no previous star formation to create other elements, protogalaxies would have been made up almost entirely of hydrogen and helium. The hydrogen would bond to form H2 molecules, with some exceptions. This would change as star formation began and produced more elements through the process of nuclear fusion.

Mechanics

Once a protogalaxy begins to form, all particles bound by its gravity begin to free fall towards it. The time taken for this free-fall to conclude can be approximated using the free-fall equations. Most galaxies have completed this free-fall stage to become stable elliptical or disk galaxies, the disks taking longer to fully form. The formation of galaxy clusters takes much longer and is still in progress now.

This stage is also where galaxies acquire most of their angular momentum. A protogalaxy acquires this due to gravitational influence from neighbouring dense clumps in the early universe, and the further the gas is away from the centre, the more spin it gets.

What can you say about the magnitudes of the forces that the balloons exert on each other?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

F_G=G. \frac{m_1.m_2}{R^2} gravitational force

F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \times \frac{q_1.q_2}{R^2} electrostatic force

Explanation:

The forces that balloons may exert on each other can be gravitational pull due to the mass of the balloon membrane and the mass of the gas contained in each. This force is inversely proportional to the square of the radial distance between their center of masses.

The Mutual force of gravitational pull that they exert on each other can be given as:

F_G=G. \frac{m_1.m_2}{R^2}

where:

G= gravitational constant  =6.67\times 10^{-11} m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2}

m_1\ \&\ m_2 are the masses of individual balloons

R= the radial distance between the  center of masses of the balloons.

But when  there are charges on the balloons, the electrostatic force comes into act which is governed by Coulomb's law.

Given as:

F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \times \frac{q_1.q_2}{R^2}

where:

\rm \epsilon_0= permittivity\ of\ free\ space

q_1\ \&\ q_2 are the charges on the individual balloons

R = radial distance between the charges.

Look at the picture above and scientifically explain how eating a hamburger can cause energy transformation in three ways within
sergejj [24]

Answer:

CLAIM: When you eat the hamburger, your body uses it and breaks it down which is chemical energy than use that food for energy for mechanical energy which makes thermal energy

EVIDENCE: This happens every day to people across the world and also it is scientifically proven

REASONING: The reason why this evidence supports it is because as I said  it happens everyday and when you feel energized after and apple after you were lazy that just happened
