Answer:

Newtons.

Explanation:

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

$F = ma$

Where;

F represents force measured in Newton.

m represents the mass of an object measured in kilograms.

a represents acceleration measured in meter per seconds square.

Newtons is a measurement we use to determine the amount of force used to move an object by a simple machine. It is the International System of Units (SI) used to measure force and has a symbol of N.

Basically, it was named after Sir Isaac Newton based on his fundamental works in the field of mechanics (motions).

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of children $m_1=20\ kg$

$m_2=30\ kg$

distance between two children $L=3\ m$

suppose small child is at a distance of x m from pivot point

so torque of small child and heavier child must be equal

$20\times (x)=30\times (3-x)$

$2x=9-3x$

$5x=9$

$x=1.8\ m$

A car goes round a curve of radius 48m, the road is banked at an angle of 15 with the horizontal,at what maximum speed may the c

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

11 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram. There are two forces acting on the car:

Weigh force mg pulling down

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the incline

Sum the forces in the +y direction:

∑F = ma

N cos θ − mg = 0

N = mg / cos θ

Sum the forces in the radial (+x) direction:

∑F = ma

N sin θ = m v² / r

Substitute and solve for v:

(mg / cos θ) sin θ = m v² / r

g tan θ = v² / r

v = √(gr tan θ)

Plug in values:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 48 m × tan 15°)

v = 11.2 m/s

Rounded to 2 significant figures, the maximum speed is 11 m/s.

What will happen to the current if the voltage is reduced to one half?

stira [4]

We use v=IR and assuming the resistance doesn’t change we can also say that the voltage and current (I) are directly proportional which means the voltage also decreases by 1/2

The results of a recent television survey of American TV households revealed that 86 out of every 100 TV households have at leas

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

$q = \dfrac{14}{100}$

Explanation:

given,

86 out of every 100 TV households have at least one remote control

Probability of any material is calculated by.

$Probability = \dfrac{favourable\ outcome}{Total\ outcome}$

$P(at\ least\ one\ remote\ control)=\dfrac{86}{100}$

$P(at\ least\ one\ remote\ control)=0.86$

now, Calculating probability that at least one remote control

q = 1 - 0.86

q = 0.14

$P(doesnot\ have\ at\ least\ one\ remote\ control)=\dfrac{14}{100}$

$q = \dfrac{14}{100}$

Julie wants to know if adding calcium fertilizer to tomato plants will help prevent a disease of tomato plants called blossom-en

Ksivusya [100]

It's not true.

The crucial principle for a scientific experiment is to keep only ONE variable at a time.

In this case, the variable of this experiment is actually the tomato is in sunny part or in shady part, instead of whether applying Ca fertilizer.
