Answer:

W = 83 [N] (weight)

Explanation:

We must clarify that the system is in static equilibrium, in such a way that we must perform a sum of forces on the Y-axis equal to zero, in order to determine the downward force corresponding to the weight of the child.

∑Fy = 0

$F_{1}+F_{2}-m*g=0\\18+65=m*g\\m*g = 83 [N]$

And the mass can be determined as follows:

$m*g=83\\m = 83/9.81\\m=8.46[kg]$

Ten students stand in a circle and are told to make a transverse wave. What best describes the motion of the students? Each stud

Bond [772]

Lifting hands and the down by one student at a time best describe the presentation of the transverse wave by students. Option D is correct.

<h3>What is a Transverse wave?</h3>

The wave in which the oscillation of particles is is perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.

The students can make a transverse wave by raising their hands up and then down, one student at a time.

The raised hand represents the oscillation of particles while the sequence of the raising hand represents the direction of energy transfer.

Therefore, lifting hands and the down by one student at a time best describe the presentation of the transverse wave by students.

A rock with a mass of 540 g in air is found to have an apparent mass of 342 g when submerged in water. (a) What mass of water is

AleksandrR [38]

(a) 198 g

When the rock is submerged into the water, there are two forces acting on the rock:

- its weight, equal to $W=mg$ (m=mass, g=acceleration of gravity), downward

- the buoyant force, equal to $B=m_w g$ ( $m_w$ =mass of water displaced), upward

So the resultant force, which is the apparent weight of the rock (W'), is

$W'=W-B$

which can be rewritten as

$m'g = mg-m_w g$

where m' is the apparent mass of the rock. Using:

m = 540 g

m' = 342 g

we find the mass of water displaced

$m_w = m-m'=540 g-342 g=198 g$

(b) $1.98\cdot 10^{-4} m^3$

If the rock is completely submerged, the volume of the rock corresponds to the volume of water displaced.

The volume of water displaced is given by

$V_w = \frac{m_w}{\rho_w}$

where

$m_w = 198 g = 0.198 kg$ is the mass of the water displaced

$\rho_w = 1000 kg/m^3$ is the density of the water

Substituting,

$V_w = \frac{0.198}{1000}=1.98\cdot 10^{-4} m^3$

And so this is also the volume of the rock.

(c) $2727 kg/m^3$

The average density of the rock is given by

$\rho = \frac{m}{V}$

where

m = 540 g = 0.540 kg is the mass of the rock

$V=1.98\cdot 10^{-4} m^3$ is its volume

Substituting into the equation, we find

$\rho = \frac{0.540 kg}{1.98\cdot 10^{-4}}=2727 kg/m^3$

Do Small objects exert no gravitational force ? True or false

Zanzabum

Answer:

False -

F = G M1 M2 / R^2

So F depends on M1 and M2 and as long either is not zero there will be a gravitational force between them.

Which statement best describes perigee?

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A. The closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth

Explanation:

The perigee is defined as the closest point in the orbit of an object (such as a satellite) from the centre of the Earth. In this case, the Earth's satellite is the Moon, so the perigee is defined as the closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth. so option A is the correct one.

Let's see instead the names of the other options:

B. The farthest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth --> this point is called apogee

C. The closest point in Earth's orbit of the Sun --> this point is called perihelion

D. The Sun's orbit that is closest to the Moon --> this point has no specific name
