A bag of marbles is hanging motionless on a spring scale. What prevents the bag from falling?​

Physics
1 answer:
Tanya [424]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The vector sum of all forces acting on it is zero, its at equilibrium.

Explanation:

The bag of marbles hanging on a spring scale applies its weight downwards, which was counterbalanced by the reaction from the spring scale (obeying the Newton's third law of motion). And since no external forces are applied to the system, thus the equilibrium of the system.

If the weight of the bag is greater than the reaction from the spring scale, the scale breaks and the system would not be balanced.

What volume In liters is a cube 20cm on a side? If the cube is filled with water what is the mass of the water?
frez [133]
1 liter = 1000 cm^3
20cm * 20cm * 20cm = 8000 cm^3
8000/1000 = 8 liters

Since 1ml of water = 1 cm^3 = 1 grams
8 liters = 8000 grams = 8 kilograms

Which of the following is not a reason fluorescent lamps are advantageous over incandescent lamps?
cricket20 [7]

Answer;

B. Fluorescent lamps operate at a higher temperature than incandescent lamps.

Explanation;

-A fluorescent lamp, is a type of electric light (lamp) that uses ultraviolet emitted by mercury vapor to excite a phosphor, which emits visible light.

-A fluorescent lamp produces less heat, thus, it is much more efficient. A fluorescent bulb can produce between 50 and 100 lumens per watt. This makes fluorescent bulbs four to six times more efficient than incandescent bulbs.

-Fluorescent lamps operate best around room temperature. At much lower or higher temperatures, efficacy decreases.
