Answer:

$\huge\boxed{196\:N}$

Explanation:

Mass and weight ain't the same thing. So, for calculating weight we would use Newton's 2nd Law of Motion i.e. Force = Mass × Acceleration.

According to question,

The mass is 20kg

Acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2

Putting the given values into the formula,

F = 20 × 9.8

F = 196N

So, the weight of the rock is 196 N

Hope it helps!<3

What is the average velocity of an arrow that travels 12 m [E] in 0.15 s?

sergij07 [2.7K]

Velocity is defined as Distance divided by Time.
In other words, V = D/T.

Now that we have our formula, we can solve.
Let's plug in the numbers we have.

We have 12m [East (direction not necessary when solving yet)] for our distance, and 0.15s as our time.

Divide the distance (12 /) by the time (0.15)
12 / 0.15 = 80.

Your velocity is 80 m/s [E]

I hope this helps!

Peer assessment is a unique educational model. Think back to how you felt about peer assessment at the beginning of the term, an

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

In the beginning, I was not familiar to assess assessments of the other students. Ifelt a little bit weird that is it possible to check assignments while having an instructor.I was also a bit frustrated, to be honest, that why do we have to assess thoseassessments. It was kind of extra burden for me. But after few weeks assessingmore assignments, my feeling had changed because I was learning lots of thingsthat were changing my perspectives. I was gaining extra knowledge from my peersin the form of assessments. Yes, I am comfortable with assessing assessments,because I got to learn many vocabularies and making structures of the sentencecorrectly by improving grammatically as I am not a native English speaker. Thus, inthis way, I was learning something new in each and every assessment.

A racecar was going 60 m/s when it quickly came to a full stop at a pitstop in 8.0 sec. What was the acceleration of the dragste

dezoksy [38]

You start by writing down your parameters;
u=60m/s
v=0
t=8s
So acceleration(a)=v-u/t
=0-60/8
=-60/8
=-7.5m/s
To the nearest hundredth will be
-7.5*100
=-750m/s

A 10-cm-long wire is pulled along a u-shaped conducting rail in a perpendicular magnetic field. the total resistance of the wire

Debora [2.8K]

In the above case we can say that power given by external agent to pull the rod must be equal to the power dissipated in the form of heat due to magnetic induction.

Part a)

when we pull the rod with constant speed then power required will be product of force and velocity

here we will have

$P = F.v$
