Answer:

162 N

Explanation:

Since the handbag weighs 162 N, from Newton's third law of motion, we know that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Thus, it means the force by each student arms Carrying the bag will be 162 N.

Since both handles of the bag are at same inclined angle of 60°, then the force in each students arm will be equal and thus;

F_each arm = 162 N

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

488.6KN

Explanation:

Hello!

the first step to solve this problem we must find the pressure exerted at the bottom of the tank (P) which is the sum of the external air pressure (P1 = 92kPa), the pressure inside the tank (P2 = 100kPa) and the pressure due to the weight of the water (P3), taking into account the above we have the following equation

P=P1+P2+P3

to find the pressure at the bottom of the tank due to the weight of the water we use the following equation

$P3=\alpha gh$

where

α=density=1 g/cm^3=1000kg/M^3

H=height=14.1m

g=gravity=3.71m/s^2

solving

P3=(1000)(14.1)(3.71)=52311Pa=52.3kPa

P=P1+P2+P3

P=100kPa+92kPa+52.3kPa=244.3kPa

finally to solve the problem we remember that the pressure is the force exerted on the area

$P=\frac{F}{A} \\F=PA\\F=(244.3kPa)(2m^2)=488.6KN$

A body weighs less inside water

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Body weighs lesser in water because of the upward force (buoyant force) which acts on our body thereby reducing our actual weight. This is our apparent weight.

What is the length of a one-dimensional box in which an electron in the n=1 state has the same energy as a photon with a wavelen

Pie

Answer:

Length will be 0.491 nm

Explanation:

We have given wavelength of the photon $\lambda =800nm=800\times 10^{-9}m$

Plank's constant $h=6.6\times 10^{-34}J-s$

We know that energy of the photon is given by

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }=\frac{6.6\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{800\times \times 10^{-9}}=2.475\times 10^{-19}J$

We know that energy of photon is also given by

$E=\frac{n^2h^2}{8mL^2}=\frac{h^2}{8mL^2}$

$2.475\times 10^{-19}=\frac{(6.6\times 10^{-34})^2}{8\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times L^2}$

$L=0.491\times 10^{-9}m$

Driving home from school one day, you spot a ball rolling out into the street (Figure 5-21). You brake for 1.20 s, slowing your

frosja888 [35]

A ) v = v o + a t ( the acceleration will be negative )
9.50 = 16.0 + a * 1.2
a * 1.2 = -16.0 + 9.50
a * 1.2 = - 6.5
a = - 6.5 : 1.2
a = - 5.4167 m/s²
F = m * a = 950 kg * 5.4167 m/s²
F = 5,145.8 N ( the average force exerted on a car during braking )
b ) d = v o - a t² / 2
d = 16.0 * 1.2 - ( 5.4167 * 1.2² / 2 ) =
= 19.20 - 3.90 = 15.30 m

Based on the table, what would you predict the speed of sound through ice would most likely be?

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

4000m/s

Explanation:

It would be this because sound travels faster through a solid rather than a liquid.
