Distance = (30+40+50) = 120 km

It's back where it started, so displacement = zero

Please help me this is timed . <br> Find x if a = 3.0 m/s^2
storchak [24]

Answer:

x = 50 N

Explanation:

Given that we have a net force, a mass, and acceleration, we can use the fundamental formula for force found in newton's second law which is F = m × a.

Given a mass of 150 kg, and an acceleration 3.0m/s². We can substitute these two values in our formula to calculate the magnitude of these forces or it's net force to identify the unknown force acting on our known force for this situation to work.

_______

F (Net force) = F2 (Second force which we are given) - F1 (First force) = m × a

m (mass which we are given) = 150 kg

a (acceleration which we are given) = 3.0m/s

________

So F = m × a → F2 - F1 = m × a →

500 - F1 = 150 × 3.0 → 500 - F1 = 450 →

-F1 = -50 → F1 = 50

Nuclear waste disposal is one of the largest issues with nuclear power. Cesium-137 is one of the high level waste products in an
vodomira [7]

Answer:

A sample of 5.2 mg  decays to .65 mg or to 1/8 of its original amount.

1/8 = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 or 3 half-lives.

3 * 30.07 = 90 yrs for 5.2 mg to decay to .65 mg

You can get these other numbers similarly:

5.2 / .0102 = 510  requires about 9  half-lives which is 30 * 9 = 270 yrs

What happens to the current supplied by the battery when you add an identical bulb in parallel to the original bulb?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

b. The current stays the same.

Explanation:

In the case given current is supplied by the battery to a bulb . Here, we should know that bulb also apply resistance to the flow of current .

Now, when an identical bulb is connected in parallel to the original bulb .

Therefore, both the resistance( bulb) are in parallel.

We know, when two resistance are in parallel , current through them is same and voltage is divided between them.

Therefore, in this case current stays same in the original bulb.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A beam of light converging to the point of 10 cm is incident on the lens. find the position of the point image if the lens has a
Verizon [17]

Answer:

beam of light converges to a point A. A lens is placed in the path of the convergent beam 12 cm from P.

To find the point at which the beam converge if the lens is (a) a convex lens of focal length 20 cm, (b) a concave lens of focal length 16 cm

Solution:

As per the given criteria,

the the object is virtual and the image is real (as the lens is placed in the path of the convergent beam)

(a) lens is a convex lens with

focal length, f=20cm

object distance, u=12cm

applying the lens formula, we get

f

=

v

−

u

⟹

v

3+5

⟹v=7.5cm

Hence the image formed is real, at 7.5cm from the lens on its right side.

(b) lens is a concave lens with

focal length, f=−16cm

object distance, 12cm

applying the lens formula, we get

f

1

=

v

1

−

u

1

⟹

v

⟹

v

−3+4

⟹v=48m

Hence the image formed is real, at 48 cm from the lens on the right side.
