Calculate the mass (in SI units) of (a) a 160 lb human being; (b) a 1.9 lb cockatoo. Calculate the weight (in English units) of

kondaur [170]

Explanation:

1. Force applied on an object is given by :

F = W = mg

(a) A 160 lb human being, F = 160 lb

g = acceleration due to gravity, g = 32 ft/s²

$m=\dfrac{F}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{160\ lb}{32\ ft/s^2}$

m = 5 kg

(b) A 1.9 lb cockatoo, F = 1.9 lb

$m=\dfrac{F}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{1.9\ lb}{32\ ft/s^2}$

m = 0.059 kg

2. (a) A 2300 kg rhinoceros, m = 2300 kg

$W=2300\ kg\times 32\ ft/s^2=73600\ lb$

(b) A 22 g song sparrow, m = 22 g = 0.022 kg

$W=0.022\ kg\times 32\ ft/s^2=0.704\ lb$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A negative charge, q1, of 6 µC is 0. 002 m north of a positive charge, q2, of 3 µC. What is the magnitude and direction of the e

prohojiy [21]

Force on the particle is defined as the application of the force field of one particle on another particle. The magnitude and direction of the electrical force will be 4.05×10⁴N towards the north.

<h3>What is electrical force?</h3>

Force on the particle is defined as the application of the force field of one particle on another particle. It is a type of virtual force.

The given data in the problem is

q₁ is the negative charge = 6 µC=6×10⁻⁶ C

q₂ is the positive charge = 3 µC=3×10⁻⁶ C

r is the distance between the charges=0.002 m

$F_E$ is the electric force =?

The value of electric force will be;

$\rm F_E= \frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\ F_E= \frac{9\times 10^9\times 6\times 10^{-6}\times3\times10^{-6}}{(0.002)^2}\\\\ \rm F_E=4.05\times10^4\;N$

Hence the magnitude and direction of the electrical force will be 4.05×10⁴N towards the north.

How are these ions distinguished from one another in writing formulas for compounds? A. using Latin prefixes B. using numerical

IgorC [24]

Answer:

B. using numerical superscripts

Explanation:

ion is an atom that has different number of protons and electrons. An isotope is an atom of an element with a specific number of neutrons. Two different isotopes of the same element will have two different neutron counts.

When writing the symbol for an ion, the one- or two-letter element symbol is written first, followed by a superscript. The superscript has the number of charges on the ion followed by a + (for positive ions or cations) or - (for negative ions or anions). Neutral atoms have a charge of zero, so no superscript is given.

A scientist reports the detection of an atomic particle known as a cosmic ray that came toward his experiment from outer space a

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

impossibility

Explanation:

We can assume or conclude that he must have made an error in his experiment. This is because, that kind of speed has been tagged to be impossible by a number of previous experiments. Cosmic rays are high energy protons and atomic nuclei that moves through space at a speed just close to light. They can come from the sun, distant galaxies and even outside if our solar system.
