A 60.-kilogram physics student would weigh 1560

Physics
1 answer:
rosijanka [135]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

26m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the student  = 60kg

Weight  = 1560N

Unknown:

Acceleration due to gravity  = ?

Solution:

Weight is a force on a body due to gravity;

  Weight  = mass x gravity

   

Insert the given parameters and solve;

    1560  = 60 x gravity

    Gravity  = \frac{1560}{60}   = 26m/s²

A point charge gives rise to an electric field with magnitude 2 N/C at a distance of 4 m. If the distance is increased to 20 m,
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

0.08 N/C

Explanation:

Electric Field: This is defined as the force per unit charge exerted at a point. The expression for electric field is given as,

E = Kq/r².............................. Equation 1

Where E = Electric Field, q = Charge, k = proportionality constant, r = distance.

making q the subject of the equation,

q = Er²/k............................... Equation 2

Given: E = 2 N/C, r = 4 m,

Substitute into equation 2

q = 2(4)²/k

q = 32/k C.

When r is increased to 20 m,

E = k(32/k)/20²

E = 32/400

E = 0.08 N/C.

Hence the electric Field = 0.08 N/C

If A.B=A.C<br>does this imply that B must be equal to c ? <br>I need answer with example please ​
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Consider\ three\ variables\ a,b\ and\ c.\\If,\\ab=ac\\a*b=a*c\\We\ may\ now\ divide\ the\ LHS\ and\ RHS\ by\ a,\\Hence,\\\frac{a*b}{a} =\frac{a*c}{a}\\Hence,\\b=c

Ex: \\Consider\ a=5, b=6.\\Hence\ if,\\a*b=a*c\\5*6=5*c\\Hence,\\30=5c\\Hence, c=\frac{30}{5}\\c=6\\As\ b\ also\ equals\ to\ 6,\\b=c

What physics principle is used in radar guns to find the speeds of tennis balls and baseballs at sporting events?
Luda [366]
<h2>Answer: Doppler effect </h2>

Explanation:

A radar gun  (also known as a Doppler radar) uses the Doppler effect when measuring "return echoes" after having sent a microwave signal (a type of electromagnetic radiation).  

In this context the Doppler effect consists of the change in a wave perceived frequency when the emitter of the waves, and the observer move relative to each other.  

In the case of radars, a microwave signal is sent to a target (the tennis or baseball in this case) and then is reflected after "hitting" the target, so that the radar system measures this difference between the sent signal and the reflected signal.

A speeding car traveling at 24.8 m/s passes a police car that is at rest. The police car begins its pursuit at the instant the s
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

the acceleration required is 1.37m/s^2

Explanation:

The car is having a constant velocity movement, so if we calculate the time to reach 897m, we can use it to find the acceleration the policeman need to apply to reach the car.

x=v*t\\t=\frac{x}{v}\\t=\frac{897m}{24.8m/s}\\t=36.17s

the policeman is traveling with a constant acceleration starting from rest so:

x=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\\\a=\frac{2*x}{t^2}\\\\a=1.37 m/s2
