Answer:

Teratogens

Explanation:

Teratogens are substances or other factors that can cause congenital abnormalities, which are also called birth defects. Usually these abnormalities arise in the third to eighth weeks of pregnancy, when the major organ systems are forming.

A tugboat tows a ship with a constant force of magnitude F1. The increase in the ship's speed during a 10 s interval is 3.0 km/h

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of F₁ is 3.7 times of F₂

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 10 sec

Speed = 3.0 km/h

Speed of second tugboat = 11 km/h

We need to calculate the speed

$v_{1}=\dfrac{3.0\times10^{3}}{3600}$

$v_{1}=0.833\ m/s$

The force F₁is constant acceleration is also a constant.

$F_{1}=ma_{1}$

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

$a_{1}=\dfrac{v}{t}$

$a_{1}=\dfrac{0.833}{10}$

$a_{1}=0.083\ m/s^2$

Similarly,

$F_{2}=ma_{2}$

For total force,

$F_{3}=F_{2}+F_{1}$

$ma_{3}=ma_{2}+ma_{1}$

The speed of second tugboat is

$v=\dfrac{11\times10^{3}}{3600}$

$v=3.05\ m/s$

We need to calculate total acceleration

$a_{3}=\dfrac{v}{t}$

$a_{3}=\dfrac{3.05}{10}$

$a_{3}=0.305\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the acceleration a₂

$0.305=a_{2}+0.083$

$a_{2}=0.305-0.083$

$a_{2}=0.222\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the factor of F₁ and F₂

Dividing force F₁ by F₂

$\dfrac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=\dfrac{m\times0.83}{m\times0.22}$

$\dfrac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=3.7$

$F_{1}=3.7F_{2}$

Hence, The magnitude of F₁ is 3.7 times of F₂

Lee pushes horizontally with a force of 75 n on a 36 kg mass for 10 m across a floor. calculate the amount of work lee did. answ

svlad2 [7]

To find work, you use the equation: W = Force X Distance X Cos (0 degrees)
Following the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy cannot be destroyed nor created.

So you would do 75 N x 10m x Cos (0 degrees)= 750 J

Why the efficiency of heat engine is always less than 100%

valina [46]

Answer:

because some waste heat is always produced produced in a heat engine.

Explanation:

the fraction of heat input that is converted to a net work output is a measure of the performance of the heat engine and is called the thermal efficiency.Since the machine does not contain a source of energy ,nor can it store energy ,from this conversation of energy the power output of machine can never be greater than its input,so efficiency can be less than 100%.
