4 0

Answer: 0.169 (3 s.f.)

Explanation:

Force = 76 N

Spring constant = 450 N/m

Extension/displacement = x

Hooke's law states that: F = kx

Therefore, 76 = 450 X x

76/450 = x

0.169 (3 s.f.) = x

A man is standing on the edge of a 20.0 m high cliff. He throws a rock horizontally with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s.

kherson [118]

Answer:

a. The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground

b. The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff

Explanation:

Horizontal motion occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v from a height h above the ground. When it happens, the object moves through a curved path determined by gravity until it hits the ground.

The time taken by the object to hit the ground is calculated by:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

The range is defined as the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object and it can be calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle d=v.t$

The man is standing on the edge of the h=20 m cliff and throws a rock with a horizontal speed of v=10 m/s.

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20}{9.8}}$

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{4.0816}$

t = 2.02 s

The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground

The range is calculated now:

$\displaystyle d=10\cdot 2.02$

d = 20.2 m

The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff

If the resistance of dry skin is 200 times larger than the resistance of wet skin, how do the maximum voltages without shock com

Lelu [443]

Answer:

B) The voltage on dry skin needs to be 200 times larger than the voltage on wet skin.

Explanation:

This is the complete question

A person will feel a shock when a current of greater than approximately 100μ A flows between his index finger and thumb. If the resistance of dry skin is 200 times larger than the resistance of wet skin, how do the maximum voltages without shock compare in each scenario?

A) The voltage on dry skin needs to be 200 times smaller than the voltage on wet skin.

B) The voltage on dry skin needs to be 200 times larger than the voltage on wet skin.

C) The voltage on dry skin is the same as the voltage on wet skin.

D) The voltage on dry skin needs to be 40,000 times larger than the voltage on wet skin.

Ohm's law states that electric current is proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.

the equation is written as

V = IR

Where V is the voltage

I is the current

R is the resistance

for this case, the current I is 100μ A = 100 x 10^16 A

resistance of wet skin = R

resistance of dry skin = 200R

for the wet skin, voltage will be

V = IR = $100*10^{-6} R$

for dry skin, voltage will be

V = IR = $100*10^{-6}*200R = 0.02R$

Comparing both voltages

$0.02R$ ÷ $100*10^{-6} R$ = 200

this means that the voltage on the wet skin should be 200 times lesser than the voltage on the dry skin or the voltage on the dry skin should be 200 times more than the voltage on the wet skin.

Electrical power companies sell electrical energy

mixer [17]

Heat used by electric heater :

Q = m • c • ∆T

Q = (75 kg)(4200 J/kg°C)(43°C - 15°C)

Q = 8.82 × 10⁶ J

Cost of electrical energy :

Cost = (8.82 × 10⁶ J)/(3.6 × 10⁶ J) • ($ 0.15)

Cost = $ 0.3675

Jupiter's moon Io has a radius of 1.82 ✕ 106 m and a measured gravitational field of 1.80 m/s2. What is its mass (in kg)?

AveGali [126]

Answer:

8.94*10^22 kg

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of Lo, M = ?

Radius of Lo, r = 1.82*10^6 m

Acceleration on Lo, g = 1.80 m/s²

Gravitational constant, G = 6.67*10^-11

Using the formula

g = GM/r²

Solution is attached below

Answer is 8.94*10^22 kg

What to do if vehicle struck by lightning

agasfer [191]

Lighting flows around the outside of a truck, and the majority of the current flows from the cars metal cage into the ground below. It's not very safe to be in a car or truck during bad weather.
