A campground official wants to measure the distance across an irregularly-shaped lake, but can't do so directly. He picks a poin
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

149 m

Explanation:

The distances across the lake is forming a triangle.  

let the distance between the point and the left side be 'x'

and the distance between the point and the right be 'y'

and the distance across the lake be 'z' and the angle opposite to 'z' be 'Z' given:

∠Z = 83°

x = 105 m

y = 119 m

Now, applying the Law of Cosines, we get  

z² = x² + y² - 2xycos(Z)  

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

z² = 105² + 119² - 2×105×119×cos(83°)

or

z = √22140.48

or

z = 148.796 m ≈ 149 m

The point is 149 m across the lake

In this example we will analyze the forces acting on your body as you move in an elevator. Specifically, we will consider the ca
dexar [7]

Answer:

The reading of the scale during the acceleration is 446.94 N

Explanation:

Given;

the reading of the scale when the elevator is at rest = your weight, w = 600 N

downward acceleration the elevator, a = 2.5 m/s²

The reading of the scale can be found by applying Newton's second law of motion;

the reading of the scale  = net force acting on your body

R = mg + m(-a)

The negative sign indicates downward acceleration

R = m(g - a)

where;

R is the reading of the scale which is your apparent weight

m is the mass of your body

g is acceleration due to gravity, = 9.8 m/s²

m = w/g

m = 600 / 9.8

m = 61.225 kg

The reading of the scale is now calculated as;

R = m(g-a)

R = 61.225(9.8 - 2.5)

R = 446.94 N

Therefore, the reading of the scale during the acceleration is 446.94 N

Grade 11 physical science experiments on newtons second law experience ​
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Newton's Second Law of Motion says that acceleration (gaining speed) happens when a force acts on a mass . Riding your bicycle is a good example of this law of motion at work. Your bicycle is the mass. Your leg muscles pushing pushing on the pedals of your bicycle is the force.
