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

Answer:

Tension of 132N

Explanation:

We need to apply Summatory of Force to find the tension in the hand.

We define te tensión in the hand as $F_2$ and the Tension in fence post as $F_1$ , then

$\sum F = 24(9.8)$

$F_1 + F_2= 24(9.8)$

We apply summatory of moments then

$F_2*1.25 = F_1*1.6$

Where the Force 2 is 1.25m from the center of summatory,

We can note that,

$1.6 m - 0.35m=1.25m$

We have two equation and two incognites, then replacing (1) in (2)

$1.6(235.2 -F_2) = 1.25F_2$

$376.32 = F2(1.6+1.25)$

$F_2= \frac{376.32}{2.85}$

$F_2 =132 N$

Un lector de DVD, la velocidad de giro es de 5400 rpm. determina el valor velocidad angular en rad/s,la frecuencia y el periodo

zubka84 [21]

Responder:

A) ω = 565.56 rad / seg

B) f = 90Hz

C) 0.011111s

Explicación:

Dado que:

Velocidad = 5400 rpm (revolución por minuto)

La velocidad angular (ω) = 2πf

Donde f = frecuencia

ω = 5400 rev / minuto

1 minuto = 60 segundos

2πrad = I revolución

Por lo tanto,

ω = 5400 * (rev / min) * (1 min / 60s) * (2πrad / 1 rev)

ω = (5400 * 2πrad) / 60 s

ω = 10800πrad / 60 s

ω = 180πrad / seg

ω = 565.56 rad / seg

SI)

Dado que :

ω = 2πf

donde f = frecuencia, ω = velocidad angular en rad / s

f = ω / 2π

f = 565.56 / 2π

f = 90.011669

f = 90 Hz

C) Periodo (T)

Recordar T = 1 / f

Por lo tanto,

T = 1/90

T = 0.0111111s

An uniform electric field of magnitude E = 100 N/C is oriented along the positive y-axis. What is the magnitude of the flux of t

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The magnitude of the flux of electric field through a square of surface area is zero.

Explanation:

$E=100 NC^{-1}\\\\A=2 m^2\\\\Electic\,\,flux\,\,flux\,\,is\,\,given\,\,as:\\\\\phi_E=E.A\,cos\,\theta$

It is given that square box is parallel to yz-plane which has normal vector perpendicular to plane in x-direction. Angle between normal vector of area and electric field is 90°. Substituting in (1)

$\phi_E=E.A\,cos\,(90^o)\\\\\phi_E=0$
