Answer:

hi here is your answer and this is a very important question.

Explanation:

A lever is a rigid bar with three parts: the fixed point around which the bar pivots is the fulcrum: the effort arm (in-lever arm) is the part of the lever to which force is applied; the resistance arm (out-lever arm) is the part that bears the load to be moved.

the system shown above is released from rest. if friction is negligible, the acceleration of the 4.0 kg block sliding on the tab

JulsSmile [24]

The acceleration of the first block (4 kg) is -9.8 m/s².

The given parameters:

Mass of the first block, m₁ = 4.0 kg
Mass of the second block, m₂ = 2.0 kg

The net force on the system of the two blocks is calculated as follows;

$m_2 g - T = m_1 a$

where;

T is the tension in the connecting string due weight of the first block

$m_2 g - m_1 g = m_1 a\\\\a = \frac{m_2 g - m_1g}{m_1} \\\\a = \frac{g(m_2 - m_1)}{m_1} \\\\a = \frac{9.8(2-4)}{2} \\\\a = -9.8 \ m/s^2$

Thus, the acceleration of the first block (4 kg) is -9.8 m/s².

Which of the following has the greatest amount of kinetic energy a)slice of pizza b)a person at the top of the stairs c)wind d)a

Talja [164]

Answer:

c)wind

Explanation:

Wind from the given choices will have the greatest amount of kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to motion of a body. It is different from the energy at rest in a body.

Wind is air in motion.
Wind energy is a form of kinetic energy in motion.

A book on a table, a slice of pizza and a person at the top of the stairs are all at rest and will possess potential energy.

Nuclear chain reactions within power plants do NOT produce bomb-like explosions primarily because the ________.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer: D. Density of uranium within nuclear fuel rods is insufficient to become explosive

Explanation: Nuclear power plants use the same fuel as nuclear bombs, i.e. radioactive Uranium-235 isotope. However, in a nuclear power plant, the energy is released more slowly unlike in a nuclear bomb. The energy released is through nuclear fission, and radioactive decay occurs at the same rate as in nuclear bombs. therefore, option A, B and C are incorrect.

The primary reason why nuclear chain reactions within power plants do NOT produce bomb-like explosions is because the uranium fuel rods used in electricity generation is not sufficiently enriched in Uranium-235 to produce a nuclear detonation. This is the same idea in option D which is the correct option.

Formula for the distance (d) is given by d = rate*time. For example if you are traveling at 60 mph for 3 hours the distance trav

babunello [35]

Explanation:

Distance covered by the particle is given by:

Distance (d) = rate (v) × time (t)

Speed of Mary, v₁ = 50 mph

Speed of Jim, v₂ = 60 mph

It is assumed that, Mary and Jim leave at the same time. After one hour, Jim is 10 miles ahead.

Distance travelled by Jim, d₁ = (60t + 10)

Distance travelled by Mary, d₂ = 50t

The distance between Mary and Jim is greater than or equal to 100 miles.

$60t+10-50t\ge100$

$10t\ge90$

$t\ge9\ h$

So, Jim takes is 9 hours more than Mary to cover same distance. Hence, this is the required solution.
