Answer:

It is made up of molecules which are pulled down to Earth by gravity. That pull makes molecules bump into each other, exerting pressure. Our bodies are specially adapted to living under 1 kilogram per square centimeter (14.7 pounds per square inch) of pressure pushing down on us at sea level!Oct 7, 2014

a 42.3 kg girl and a 7.93 kg sled are on the surface of a frozen lake, 15.0m apart and linked by a rope, but not moving yet. the

ycow [4]

Answer:

they meet from the girl's original position at: 2.37 (meters)

Explanation:

We need to use the Newton's law, exactly the second law that relate force, mass and acceleration as: $F=m*a$ with this we can get both accelerations; solving for acceleration $a=\frac{F}{m}$ . Now $a_{girl}=\frac{5.76}{42.3}=0.14 (m/s^{2})$ and $a_{sled}=\frac{5.76}{7.93}=0.73(m/s^{2})$ . Then knowing that they both travel at the same time and assuming that the distance among the girl and the sled is: 15.0-x, so, $x=\frac{1}{2}*a_{girl}*t^{2}$ and $15.0-x=\frac{1}{2}*a_{sled}*t^{2}$ , solving for the time we get: $t=\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a_{girl} } }$ and $t=\sqrt{\frac{2*(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} } }$ with this equations we solving for the x that is the distance between the girl and the sled after the apply the force and we get: $\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a_{girl}}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} }$ . Finally we get: $\frac{x}{a_{girl} }=\frac{(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} }$ and replacing the values we have got: $\frac{x}{0.14} =\frac{(15.0-x)}{0.73}$ so $5.33*x=15-x$ so x=2.37 (meters).

A 6.00 A current runs through a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has 8.5×1028 free elect

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Current, I = 6 A

diameter of wire, d = 2.05 mm

number of electrons per unit volume, n = 8.5 x 10^28

If the diameter is doubled,

The resistance of the wire is inversely proportional to the square of the diameter of the wire, so the resistance is one forth an the current is directly proportional to the diameter of the wire so the current is four times the initial value.

Meeta used an elastic tape to measure the length of her window to stitch a curtain. Do you think she will be able to stitch a cu

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

She will not be able to measure the length of her window accurately due to instrumental error from her choice of instrument. The elastic nature of her tape would alter the measurement because it will stretch as she is taking her readings, thus reducing the true measurement of the length of her window.

To measure the length of her window, she could use an inelastic tape rule or a metre rule. These instruments would eliminate instrumental error.

Assume light is traveling through an optical medium of n1 and is incident on a boundary with a different optical medium with n2.

Elza [17]

That n2 = 2*n1. That is, the index of refraction is twice as big in medium 2 since v=c/n
