Answer:

Using g = 9.8: 1.02 kg, Using g = 10: 1 kg

Explanation:

E = mgh

20 = m(9.8)(3 - 1)

20 = 9.8m(2)

20 = 19.6m

m = 1.02 kg

I'm now assuming you may be using a g constant of 10, thus the close integer result, in which case the mass would be exactly 1 kilogram.

A group of hikers hear an echo 3.3 s after they shout. The temperature is 20◦C.
romanna [79]

Answer:

560 m

Explanation:

The speed of sound in air is approximately:

v ≈ v₀ + 0.6T

where v₀ is the speed of sound at 0°C (273 K) in m/s, and T is the temperature in Celsius.

The speed of sound at 20°C at that altitude is:

v ≈ 327 + 0.6(20)

v ≈ 339 m/s

The sound travels from the hikers to the mountain and back again, so it travels twice the distance.

339 m/s = 2d / 3.3 s

2d = 1118.7 m

d = 559.35 m

Rounding, the mountain is approximately 560 m away.

umka21 [38]

Answer:T=1316.21 N

Explanation:

The tension has two components: Vertical and Horizontal. The

horizontal component is ma, the vertical component is mg. Using

Pythagoras theorem, we can find the tension as:

T=((ma)^2 (mg)^2)^(1/2)

So

T=((129*2.84)^2 (129*9.8)^2)^(1/2)

T=1316.21 N

Georgia [21]

Answer:

Two charged objects have a repulsive force of 0.080 N. If the charge of both of the objects is doubled, then what is the new force? Explanation: Electrostatic force is directly related to the charge of each object. So if the charge of both objects is doubled, then the force will become four times greater.

Explanation:

hope this helps
