Answer:

Atomic mass is defined as the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, where each proton and neutron has a mass of approximately 1 amu (1.0073 and 1.0087, respectively). The electrons within an atom are so miniscule compared to protons and neutrons that their mass is negligible.

I hope this is the answer you were looking for :D

It is expressed as a multiple of one-twelfth the mass of the carbon-12 atom, 1.992646547 × 10^−23 gram, which is assigned an atomic mass of 12 units. In this scale, 1 atomic mass unit (amu) corresponds to 1.660539040 × 10^−24 gram.

A student pulls a block over a rough surface with a constant force FP that is at an angle θ above the horizontal, as shown above

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

B.The force of friction between the block and surface will decrease.

Explanation:

The force of friction is given by

$F_s = \mu N$

where $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction and $N$ is the normal force.

When the student pulls on the block with force $F_p$ at an angle $\theta$ , the normal force on the block becomes

$N = Mg- F_psin(\theta)$

and hence the frictional force becomes

$F_s = \mu (Mg- F_psin(\theta))$ .

Now, as we increase $\theta$ , $sin(\theta)$ increases which as a result decreases the normal force $Mg- F_psin(\theta)$ , which also means the frictional force decreases; Hence choice B stands true.

P.S: Choice D is tempting but incorrect since the weight $W=mg$ is independent of the external forces on the block.

A 45.2-kg person is on a barrel ride at an amusement park. She stands on a platform with her back to the barrel wall. The 3.74-m

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

1,230N

Explanation:

1. Name of the variables:

$f:frequency\\\\ \omega:angular\text{ }speed\\\\ a_c:centripetal\text{ }acceleration\\\\ F_c:centripetal\text{ }force\\ \\ m:mass\\ \\ d:diameter\\ \\ r:radius\\ \\ g:gravitational\text{ }acceleration$

2. Formulae:

$f=\dfrac{number\text{ }of\text{ }revolutions}{time}$

$\omega=2\pi f$

$a_c=\omega^2 r$

$F_c=m\times a_c$

3. Solution (calculations)

$f=\dfrac{1}{1.65s}=0.\overline{60}s^{-1}$

$\omega=2\pi\times0.\overline{60}\approx 3.808rad/s$

$a_c=(3.808rad/s)^2\times (3.74/2m)=27.12m/s^2$

$F_c=45.2kg\times27.12m/s^2=1,225.67N\approx 1,230N$

In 2 1/2 hours an airplane travels 1150 km against the wind. It takes 50 min to travel 450 km with the wind. Find the speed of t

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Velocity of airplane is 500 km/h

Velocity of wind is 40 km/h

Explanation:

$V_a$ = Velocity of airplane in still air

$V_w$ = Velocity of wind

Time taken by plane to travel 1150 km against the wind is 2.5 hours

$V_a-V_w=\frac {1150}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow V_a-V_w=460\quad (1)$

Time taken by plane to travel 450 km against the wind is 50 minutes = 50/60 hours

$V_a+V_w=\frac {450}{50}\times 60\\\Rightarrow V_a-V_w=540\quad (2)$

Subtracting the two equations we get

$V_a-V_w-V_a-V_w=460-540\\\Rightarrow -2V_w=-80\\\Rightarrow V_w=40\ km/h$

Applying the value of velocity of wind to the first equation

$V_a-40=460\\\Rightarrow V_a =500\ km/h$

∴ Velocity of airplane in still air is 500 km/h and Velocity of wind is 40 km/h

A rug sits in a sunny place on the floor for a long time. Kiara thinks that light from the sun can cause the rug's color to fade

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Yes! Light from the sun can affect the materials certain carpets are made out of. The usual effect being the dye in the carpet being "washed out" or "dried out" as the sun beams down on it. When this happens, the carpet will usually lose its color, causing it to fade.
