John is carrying a shovelful of snow. The center of mass of the 3.00 kg of snow he is holding is 15.0 cm from the end of the sho

vel. He is pushing down on the opposite end of the shovel with one hand and holding it up 30.0 cm from that end with his other hand. Ignore the mass of the shovel. Sarah says that his hand pushing down on the shovel must be exerting a greater force than the hand pushing up. James says it is just the reverse. Which one, if either, is correct?

Answer:

James is correct here as the force of hand pushing upwards is always more than the force of hand pushing down

Explanation:

Here we know that one hand is pushing up at some distance midway while other hand is balancing the weight by applying a force downwards

so here we can say

Upwards force = downwards Force + weight of snow

while if we find the other force which is acting downwards

then for that force we can say that net torque must be balanced

so here we have

F_{down} L_1 = W_{snow} L_2

so here we have

F_{down} = \frac{L_2}{L_1} (W_{snow})

so here we can say that upward force by which we push up is always more than the downwards force

butalik [34]
<h2>Velocity at maximum height is zero.</h2><h2>Acceleration at maximum height is 9.81 m/s² downward.</h2><h2>Acceleration when it just hits the ground is 9.81 m/s² downward.</h2>

Explanation:

For a ball thrown vertically upward, the velocity at maximum height is zero.

Acceleration is a constant for a ball thrown vertically upward, its is acceleration due to gravity.

Acceleration at maximum height is 9.81 m/s² downward.

Acceleration when it just hits the ground is 9.81 m/s² downward.

Describe what a planetesimal is. Is it related to a protoplanet?
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

A planetesimal is an object formed from dust, rock, and other materials. The word has its roots in the concept infinitesimal, which indicates an object too small to see or measure. Planetesimals can be anywhere in size from several meters to hundreds of kilometers.

Protoplanets are thought to form out of kilometer-sized planetesimals that gravitationally perturb each other's orbits and collide, gradually coalescing into the dominant planets.

Heat in the amount of 100 kJ is transferred directly from a hot reservoir at 1320 K to a cold reservoir at 600 K. Calculate the
Zinaida [17]

Answer:0.0909 kJ/K

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of hot Reservoir T_h=1320 K

Temperature of cold Reservoir T_l=600 K

Heat of 100 kJ is transferred form hot reservoir to cold reservoir

Hot Reservoir is Rejecting heat therefore Q_1=-100 kJ

Heat is added to Reservoir therefore Q_2=100 kJ

Entropy change for system

\Delta s=\frac{Q_1}{T_1}+\frac{Q_2}{T_2}

\Delta s=\frac{-100}{1320}+\frac{100}{600}

\Delta s=-0.0757+0.1666=0.0909 kJ/K

As entropy change is Positive therefore entropy Principle is satisfied

How does density affect refraction
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

please give me brainlist and follow

Explanation:

The angle and wavelength at which the light enters a substance and the density of that substance determine how much the light is refracted. ... When light passes from a more dense to a less dense substance, (for example passing from water into air), the light is refracted (or bent) away from the normal.

A transverse wave on a rope is given by y(x,t)= (0.750cm)cos(π[(0.400cm−1)x+(250s−1)t]). part a part complete find the amplitude
Pani-rosa [81]
The amplitude of a wave corresponds to its maximum oscillation of the wave itself. 
In our problem, the equation of the wave is
y(x,t)= (0.750cm)cos(\pi [(0.400cm-1)x+(250s-1)t])
We can see that the maximum value of y(x,t) is reached when the cosine is equal to 1. When this condition occurs,
y(x,t)=0.750 cm
and therefore this value corresponds to the amplitude of the wave.
