A 60 kg person sits in a chair. How much does the earth pull on the person? (Acceleration due to gravity is -10m/s2) F = mxa → F

= (60kg) x (-10m/s2) → F= -600N or 600N in the downward direction

Answer:

<em>600N(downwards)</em>

Explanations

<em>600N(downwards)</em>

Mas of the person = 60kg

Acceleration due to gravity = -10m/s²

To get the earths pull on the person, we will use the Newton second law of motion;

Force = mass * acceleration;

Force = 60 * -10

Force- -600N

<em>Hence the earth gravitational pull on the person is 600N(downwards). It is downwards due to the negative sign.</em>

A light wave travels through space at a speed of 3 x 108 m/s. If the wavelength of some light wave is 2 x10-3 m, what is the fre
kifflom [539]

Here is your answer

b) \huge 1.5× {10}^{11} Hz

REASON :

We know that

Velocity= Frequency× Wavelength

So,

Frequency= Velocity/wavelength

Here,

V= 3× 10^8 m/s

Wavelength= 2×10^-3 m

Hence,

Frequency= 3×10^8/2×10^-3

= 3/2 × 10^11

= 1.5× 10^11 Hz

A proton is released in a uniform electric field, and it experiences an electric force of 2.04×10−14 N toward the south.
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Part A:

E=127500N/C\\E=1.275*10^{5} N/C

Part B:

Option B (Towards the South)

Explanation:

Part A:

Magnitude if electric field E:

E=Force/charge

Force=2.04×10−14 N

Charge=1.6×10−19 C

E=\frac{2.04*10^{-14}}{1.6*10^{-19}} \\E=127500N/C\\E=1.275*10^{5} N/C

Part B:

Option B (Towards the South)

As electron is experiencing the force towards south,it means the direction of the electric field is towards the south because direction of field lines is from positive to negative, so proton is moving towards south it means negative charge is in south to which proton is attracted. So electric field is towards South.

Identify two potential improvements to the opal extraction process and explain how these improvements could minimize harm to the
Orlov [11]

Answer

• Improving the environmental performances

• Developing Green Mining technology

Explanation

The effect to the environment caused by opal mining are; impact on soils and geology, clearing of native vegetation disrupting flora and fauna, change in land use and effects of air quality.

Opal mining is currently examining environmental impacts and adopting measures that mitigate the impacts making the process less destructive to the environment.

With the current commitment to sustainability, opal companies are investing funds for Green Mining as a positive way to impact the environment before and after mining.

What is the direction of the centripetal force when applied to an object?
mihalych1998 [28]
For an object moving in a path that's a circle or a part of one,
the centripetal force acts in the direction toward the center of
the circle.  That direction is perpendicular to the way the object
is moving.

Help me answer these, please. I GIVE CROWNS!! PLEASE!!
bija089 [108]

Answer: 1- A diagram showing the forces acting on the object.

2- The force vector describes a specific amount of force and its direction. You need both value and direction to have a vector.

3- A vector quantity has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude. You can tell if a quantity is a vector by whether or not it has a direction associated with it.

4- I don’t know

5- When two forces acting on an object are equal in size but act in opposite directions, we say that they are balanced forces

6- By applying an unbalanced force, you can change the motion of an object. Unbalanced forces can make an object at rest start moving, make a moving object stop, or change the direction and speed of the object.

7- If the forces on an object are unbalanced, this is what happens: a stationary object starts to move in the direction of the resultant force.

8- Imbalance or unequal force

9- The result is no motion. Balanced forces can cancel each other out. Any time there is a balanced force, the object does not move.

10- net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object.
