Explanation:

Both because water can fall in holes and then freeze. However, water can also be chemically react with other elements and substances to wear something away.

Find the difference between two masses measured as 123.6 grams and 115.972 grams. Express the answer to the correct number of si

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The difference is 7.6 grams.

Explanation:

In mathematics the difference of two numbers is express as the subtraction between them:

$a-b$

So to find out the difference between the two measured masses, a will be represented by 123.6 grams since is the bigger number, and b by 115.972 grams.

Therefore, it is get:

$123.6grams-115.972grams = 7.6grams$

<u>Hence, the difference is 7.6 grams. </u>

The result of 7.628 will be expressed as 7.6 to have the correct number of significant figures.

Notice how that can be express in units of kilograms too since there is 1000 gram in 1 kilogram:

$7.6grams . \frac{1Kg}{1000grams}$ ⇒ $7.6x10^{-3}Kg$

Changes in behavior of managers, coworkers, and subordinates can be a warning sign before a layoff. True or false

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is - true.

Explanation:

Changes in the higher authorities or managers or coworkers can be a warning sign before a layoff, however, a company or organization needs to give an official notice before a particular time period before the layoff.

The layoff is a temporary suspension or permanent termination from the employment of an employee due to reasons related to business such as reducing manpower or staff and less work in the organization. These reasons can lead to a change in the behavior of the managers, coworkers, and subordinates.

The force exerted by the wind on the sails of a sailboat is Fsail = 330 N north. The water exerts a force of Fkeel = 210 N east.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration is $a_r = 1.50 \ m/s^2$

The direction is $\theta = 32.5 6^o$ north of east

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The force exerted by the wind is $F_{sail} = (330 ) \ N \ north$

The force exerted by water is $F_{keel} = (210 ) \ N \ east$

The mass of the boat(+ crew) is $m_b = 260 \ kg$

Now Force is mathematically represented as

$F = ma$

Now the acceleration towards the north is mathematically represented as

$a_n = \frac{F_{sail}}{m_b}$

substituting values

$a_n = \frac{330 }{260}$

$a_n = 1.269 \ m/s^2$

Now the acceleration towards the east is mathematically represented as

$a_e = \frac{F_{keel}}{m_b }$

substituting values

$a_e = \frac{210}{260}$

$a_e =0.808 \ m/s^2$

The resultant acceleration is

$a_r = \sqrt{a_e^2 + a_n^2}$

substituting values

$a_r = \sqrt{(0.808)^2 + (1.269)^2}$

$a_r = 1.50 \ m/s^2$

The direction with reference from the north is evaluated as

Apply SOHCAHTOA

$tan \theta = \frac{a_e}{a_n}$

$\theta = tan ^{-1} [\frac{a_e}{a_n } ]$

substituting values

$\theta = tan ^{-1} [\frac{0.808}{1.269 } ]$

$\theta = tan ^{-1} [0.636 ]$

$\theta = 32.5 6^o$

The resistance of the light bulb changed as the voltage (and current) changed. Why does this resistance change occur?

Murrr4er [49]

This resistance current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance. In other words, as the voltage increases, so does the current. Hope this helps !!

Identical twins Kate and Karen are rowing their boat on a hot Summer afternoon when they decide to go for

I think it will reduce in speed because friction drags it to the opposite direction and it were the girls mass that was overcoming friction but i think it is newtons 2nd law of motion
