Answer:

force = mass * acceleration

therefore the SI unit is kg*m/s2 or newton's

it's a vector quantity because it has both direction(acceleration) and size (mass)

if the current in a wire is 2.0 amperes and the potential difference across the wire is 10 volts what is the resistance of the w

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

R = 2Ω

Explanation:

Potential difference (V) = current (I) * Resistance (R)

V = IR

I = 2.0A

V = 10v

R = ?

V = IR

R = V / I

R = 10 / 2

R = 2Ω

The resistance across the wire is 2Ω

A Ferris wheel on a California pier is 27 m high and rotates once every 32 seconds in the counterclockwise direction. When the w

Leto [7]

A) 140 degrees

First of all, we need to find the angular velocity of the Ferris wheel. We know that its period is

T = 32 s

So the angular velocity is

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{32 s}=0.20 rad/s$

Assuming the wheel is moving at constant angular velocity, we can now calculate the angular displacement with respect to the initial position:

$\theta= \omega t$

and substituting t = 75 seconds, we find

$\theta= (0.20 rad/s)(75 s)=15 rad$

In degrees, it is

$15 rad: x = 2\pi rad : 360^{\circ}\\
x=\frac{(15 rad)(360^{\circ})}{2\pi}=860^{\circ} = 140^{\circ}$

So, the new position is 140 degrees from the initial position at the top.

B) 2.7 m/s

The tangential speed, v, of a point at the egde of the wheel is given by

$v=\omega r$

where we have

$\omega=0.20 rad/s$

r = d/2 = (27 m)/2=13.5 m is the radius of the wheel

Substituting into the equation, we find

$v=(0.20 rad/s)(13.5 m)=2.7 m/s$

A 75kg man climbs the stairs to the fifth floor of a building. A total hieght of 16m. His potential energy has increased by

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

11760 joules

Explanation:

Given

Mass (m) = 75kg

Height (h) = 16m

Required

Determine the increment in potential energy (PE)

This is calculated as thus:

PE = mgh

Where g = 9.8m/s²

Substitute values for m, g and h.

P.E = 75 * 9.8 * 16

P.E = 11760 joules

Consider the equation . The dimensions of the variables v, x, and t are , , and , respectively. The numerical factor 3 is dimens

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Part of the question is missing but here is the equation for the function;

Consider the equation v = (1/3)zxt2. The dimensions of the variables v, x, and t are [L/T], [L], and [T] respectively.

Answer = The dimension for z = 1/T3 i.e 1/ T - raised to power 3

Explanation:

What is applied is the principle of dimensional homogenuity

From the equation V = (1/3)zxt2.

V has a dimension of [L/T]

x has a dimension of [L]

t has a dimension of [T]
from the equation, make z the subject of the relation
z = v/xt2 where 1/3 is treated as a constant
Substituting into the equation for z
z = L/T / L x T2
the dimension for z = 1/T3 i.e 1/ T - raised to power 3
