What law describes light

A man pushed a cabinet with a force of 200N. What is the mass of the cabinet that accelerates 4 m/s/s?

ELEN [110]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 50 \ kg}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the mass of a cabinet, given the force and acceleration. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration. The formula for this is:

$F= m \times a$

The force is 200 Newtons, but we should convert the units to make unit cancellation easier. 1 Newton is equal to 1 kilogram meter per second squared, so the force of 200 Newtons is 200 kilogram meters per second squared.

The mass is unknown and the acceleration is 4 meters per second per second or 4 meters per second squared.

F= 200 kg*m/s²
a= 4 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.

$200 \ kg *m/s^2 = m \times 4 \ m/s^2$

We are solving for the mass, m, so we must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 4 meters per second squared. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 4 m/s²

$\frac {200 \ kg *m/s^2}{4 \ m/s^2}= \frac{m \times 4\ m/s^2}{4 \ m/s^2}$

$\frac {200 \ kg *m/s^2}{4 \ m/s^2} =m$

The units of meters per second squared cancel.

$\frac {200 \ kg }{4 }=m$

$50 \ kg =m$

The mass of the cabinet is <u>50 kilograms.</u>

Where have you heard the word calorie before what do you think a calorie is

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calorie is a common term used to describe the amount of energy that can be derived from food products.

We quantify foods based on the calories of energy they possess. A high calorific food will yield more energy to the body and is often desired for intense physical activities.

Calorie is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1°C.

Food calories slightly differs in definition and they imply the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of water by 1°C.

If a device uses 280 watts of power a day, about how many kilowatt-hours will it use in 30 days?

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:C

Explanation:

Power=280watts=280/1000 kilowatts

Power=0.28 kilowatts

Device use 0.28 kilowatts in 1 day

1day=24hours

Device use 0.28 kilowatts in 24hours

30days=30 x 24=720 hours

For 720 hours=(0.28x720) ➗ 24

For 720 hours=201.6 ➗ 24

For 720 hours=8.4
