Answer:

the number of grains in the ball is 274,848

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter = 0.5 mm

so radius r = 0.25 mm

first we determine the volume of the ball using the following equation;

V = 4/3×πr³

we substitute

V = 4/3×π(0.25)³

V =  0.06544 mm³

Now form table 1.1 "Grain sizes" a metal with grain size number of 12 has about 4,200,000 grains/mm³

so;

Number of grains N = 0.06544 × 4,200,000

N = 274,848 grains

Therefore, the number of grains in the ball is 274,848

Answer:

The object will have an upward acceleration

Explanation:

Let's consider the forces applied on the box. We have only two forces:

- The applied force of push, F_p, downward

- The force of gravity, W, (also known as weight of the object), downward

Therefore, the net force on the box is:

F_{net}=F_p -W

Here, we know that force applied is equal or greater than the weight, so

F_p \geq W

And therefore the net force is greater than zero:

F_{net}\geq 0 (1)

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on the box is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

F_{net}=ma

where

m is the mass of the box

a is its acceleration

Given (1), this means that

a\geq 0

Therefore, the box will have an upward acceleration.

In this case force example we have:

F_p = 100 N\\W = 40 N

So the mass of the box is

m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{40}{10}=4 kg

So the net force is

F_{net}=F_p-W=100-40=60 N

And the acceleration is

a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{60}{4}=15 m/s^2

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

8.33×10⁻⁴ m/s²

Explanation:

There are 100 cm in 1 m, and 60 s in 1 min.

300 cm/min² × (1 m / 100 cm) × (1 min / 60 s)² = 8.33×10⁻⁴ m/s²

What are two types of diffraction?
tino4ka555 [31]
Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction. Fresnel diffraction is produced when light from a point source meets an obstacle, the waves are spherical and the pattern observed is a fringed image of the object. Fraunhofer diffraction occurs with plane wave-fronts with the object effectively at infinity. The pattern is in a particular direction and is a fringed image of the source.
