DENIUS [597]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Net force = 800 – 650

= 150 N

150 = (800 ÷ 9.8) a  

a = 1470 ÷ 800

= 1.8375 m/s^2, downwards

on the surface of theearth ,the weight of a boy is 400N but on a mountainpeak his weight is 360N,Calculatethe value of ''g' on t
andreyandreev [35.5K]

The value of g at sea level is 9.81 ms^-2.

The boy's mass is constant wherever he is in the universe but his weight will depend on the strength gravity where he is.

By proportion its value on the mountain peak  is (360 /400) * 9.81

= 0.9 * 9.81 = 8.83  ms^-2  to nearest hundredth,  (answer).

Irina-Kira [14]
We simply asked to name three uses for mercury.
The most common and well-known use of mercury is the production of thermometers. It's property to stay liquid at room temperature makes it ideal for a temperature indicator. However, the use of mercury is thermometers has been phased out due to health hazards.
It is also used to form an amalgam which is the result of its combination with silver or gold. Mercury has been used to mine gold and silver. This application has also been phased out.
Today's use of mercury includes mercury-vapor lamps which are the bright lamps used in high-ways.

When an automobile moves with constant speed down a highway, most of the power developed by the engine is used to compensate for
uysha [10]

Answer:

F=5449 N

Explanation:

Work done is a product of force and displacement ie

Work done, W, = Force*Displacement

Power, P, is Work done/Time

P=\frac {W}{t}=\frac {FS}{t} where P is power, W is work done, F is force, S is displacement and t is time

In this case, F is the frictional force. Converting the power from hp to W, we multiply by 746 hence P=746*168=125328  W

Since displacement/time is velocity, then

P=FV where V is velocity in m/s

Making F the subject

F=\frac {P}{V}

F=\frac {125328}{23}=5449.043478  N

F=5449 N

A gun is fired on a day when the speed of sound is 335 m/s and an echo is heard 0.75 seconds later. How far away is the object t
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

v= 335 m/s

2∆t= 0.75 s

∆x= v.∆t → ∆x= 335×½×0.75 = 125.625 m
