Find the weight of a 4.2 kg backpack, A) 41.16 N B) 0.42 kg C) 41.16 kg D) 0.42 N

Physics
1 answer:
Olin [163]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Although the weight is given and we are asked for the weight, the odd wording of the question implies that we are being asked for the gravitational force on the backpack.

If it is gravitational force that is being requested, then the correct answer is A) 41.16 Newtons.

If it is actual weight being asked for, then none of the answers are correct, as the weight of 4.2 kg is given in the question, and does not match any of the answers.

A motorcycle slows down uniformly from a speed of 21 m/s to rest in 6.0s. How far did it travel during this time?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

63 m

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the motorcycle is

v_i = 21 m/s

The final velocity is

v_f = 0

And the time taken is

t=6.0 s

Since the acceleration of the motorcycle is uniform, we can find the distance traveled by the motorcycle during this time by using the following SUVAT equation:

S=\frac{1}{2} (v_i +v_f) t

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

S=\frac{1}{2}( 21 m/s + 0)(6.0 s)=63 m

Cells are visualized using light microscopes and electron microscopes. Which statement about microscopes is false. Group of answ
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Light microscopes use light and glass objectives to illuminate and magnify objects

Explanation:

Light microscopes and electron microscopes are used to study cells. The electron microscope has many times more resolving power than the ordinary light microscope. A light microscope contains an objective lens and an eyepiece through which the final image is seen.

Both light and electron microscopes magnifies the image of the object. The magnifying power of an electron microscope is many times that of the light microscope.

An electric ceiling fan is rotating about a fixed axis with an initial angular velocity magnitude of 0.220 rev/s . The magnitude
matrenka [14]

Answer:

1) The fan's angular velocity after 0.208 seconds is approximately 2.585 rad/s

2) The number of revolutions the blade has travelled in 0.208 s is approximately 0.066 revolutions

3) The tangential speed of a point on the tip of the blade at time t = 0.208 s is approximately 1.034 m/s

4) The magnitude of the tangential acceleration of a point on the tip of the blade at time t = 0.208 seconds is approximately 2.312 m/s²

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial velocity of the fan, n = 0.220 rev/s

The magnitude of the angular acceleration = 0.920 rev/s²

The direction of the angular acceleration and the angular velocity = Clockwise

The diameter of the circle formed by the electric ceiling fan blades, D = 0.800 m

1) The initial angular velocity of the fan, ω₀ = 2·π × n = 2·π × 0.220 rev/s = 1.38230076758 rad/s

The angular acceleration of the fan, α = 2·π×0.920 rad/s² = 5.78053048261 rad/s²

The fan's angular velocity, 'ω', after a time t = 0.208 seconds has passed is given as follows;

ω = ω₀ + α·t

From which we have;

ω = 1.38230076758 rad/s + 5.78053048261 rad/s × 0.208 s = 2.58465110796 rad/s

The fan's angular velocity after 0.208 seconds is ω ≈ 2.585 rad/s

2) The number of revolutions the blade has travelled in the given time interval is given from the angle turned, 'θ', in the given time as follows;

θ = ω₀·t + 1/2·α·t²

θ = 1.38230076758 × 0.208 + 1/2 × 5.78053048261 × 0.208² = 0.41256299505 radians

2·π radians = 1 revolution

∴ 0.41256299505 radians = 0.41256299505 radian× 1 revolution/(2·π radian) = 0.06566144 revolution

The number of revolutions the blade has travelled in 0.208 s ≈ 0.066 revolutions

3) The tangential speed of a point on the tip of the blade at time t = 0.208 s is given as follows;

The tangential speed, v_t = ω × r = ω × D/2

At t = 0.208 s, ω = 2.58465110796 rad/s, therefore, we have;

v_t = ω × D/2 = 2.58465110796 × 0.800/2 = 1.0338604413

The tangential speed, v_t = 1.0338604413 m/s

The tangential speed ≈ 1.034 m/s

4)  The magnitude of the tangential acceleration of a point on the tip of the blade at time t = 0.208 seconds, 'a' is given as follows;

a = α × r = α × D/2

a = 5.78053048261 × 0.800/2 = 2.31221219304

The tangential acceleration, a ≈ 2.312 m/s²
