15+3=18km/hour
Think about it like this. The boat is going 15 faster than the river, and the river is going 3 faster than the bank, so the boat is going 18 faster than the river bank

Answer: Brightness consistency

There are three types of perceptual consistency
Types of Perceptual Constancy: Shape, Size, and Brightness Size constancy
Since the moon and sun affect light, brightness consistency is occurring.
Brightness constancy is our visual ability to perceive objects as having the same level of brightness even though the level of lighting changes.

A 0.12 kg body undergoes simple harmonic motion of amplitude 8.5 cm and period 0.20 s. (a) What is themagnitude of the maximum f
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

a)F=698.83 N

b)K=8221.56 N/m

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m = 0.12 kg

Amplitude ,A= 8.5 cm

time period ,T = 0.2 s

We know that

T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}

{\omega}=\dfrac{2\pi }{0.2}\ rad/s

{\omega}=31.41\ rad/s

We know that

{\omega}^2=m\ K

K=Spring constant

K=\dfrac{\omega^2}{m}

K=\dfrac{31.41^2}{0.12}\ N/m

K=8221.56 N/m

The maximum force F

F= K A

F= 8221.56 x 0.085 N

F=698.83 N

a)F=698.83 N

b)K=8221.56 N/m

In boxing, the use of 16-ounce gloves rather than 12-ounce gloves reduces the chance of injury because the force is distributed
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Here we have assumed that increasing the mass of a glove will increase the surface area.

Injury is caused by the application of pressure at a point on the body. The application of pressure takes place via the area of the gloves. Pressure is given by

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

where

F = Force

A = Area to which the force is applied

So, a bigger glove will increase the surface area and reduce the pressure resulting in a lower chance of injury.

Hence, the statement is true.

The figure shows five electric charges. Four charges with the magnitude of the charge 2.0 nC form a square with the size a = 4.0
bearhunter [10]

Considering the four electric charges forming a square with magnitude of charge of 2.0 nC on each. :

A) Magnitude of the force on the 5.5 nC charge in the middle of the figure = 3.48 * 10^-4 N

B) Direction of the force on the 5.5 nC charge in the middle of the figure = Leftward ( negative x -axis )

Using the given data :

size of square = 4 cm

magnitudes of four charges = 2.0 nC

<u> a) </u><u>magnitude</u><u> of the force on the center charge </u>

Electric force between two point charges = F = \frac{1}{4\pi *E_{o} } \frac{q1q2}{r^2} ----- ( 1 )

where ; \frac{1}{4\pi E_{o} } = 9 * 10^9 Nm^2/C^2

step 1 ; find r ( distance between charges )

r² = ( 2 )² + ( 2 )² = 8 cm²  

back to equation 1

F = 9 * 10⁹ * \frac{2 * 10^{-9} *  (5.5 * 10^{-9})  }{8*10^{-4} } =  1.23 * 10^-4  N

∴ magnitude of the force on the center charge ( Fnet )= 4F cos 45°

        = 4 * ( 1.23 * 10^-4 ) * \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }  = 3.48 * 10^-4 N

b) The direction of the force at the center is along the negative x-axis ( leftward )
