The correct answer is 15 N.

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of a machine is calculated as,

M.A = Output Force/ Input Force

Given, mechanical advantage=2

Output force = 30 N

Substituting the values,

$2=\frac{30}{I.F}$

Input force = 15 N

∴ The input force must be 15 N.

From reliable sources in the internet, the half-live of carbon-14 is given to be 5,730 years. In a span of 10,000 to 12,000 years, there are almost or little more than 2 half-lives. Thus, there should be
A(t) = A(0)(1/2)^t
where t is the number of half-lives, in this case 2. Thus, only about 1/4 of the original amount will be left.

Alexandra [31]

The concept required to solve this problem is associated with potential energy. Recall that potential energy is defined as the product between mass, gravity, and change in height. Mathematically it can be described as

$U = mg\Delta h$

Here,

$\Delta h$ = Change in height

m = mass of super heroine

g = Acceleration due to gravity

The change in height will be,

$\Delta h = h_f - h_i$

The final position of the heroin is below the ground level,

$h_f = -16.1m$

The initial height will be the zero point of our system of reference,

$\Delta h = -16.1m-0m$

$\Delta h = -16.1m$

Replacing all this values we have,

$U = mg\Delta h$

$U = (68.1kg)(9.8m/s^2)(-16.1m)$

$U = -10744.81J$

Since the final position of the heroine is located below the ground, there will net loss of gravitational potential energy of 10744.81J

How much heat is released as a 5.89 kg block of aluminum cools from 462 °C to 315 °C. The specific heat capacity of aluminum is

s2008m [1.1K]

Mass, m = 5890g
Change in temperature, θ = Final_temperature - Initial_temperature
= 315 - 462°C
= -147°C

Specific heat capacity of aluminum, c = 0.900 J/(g*K)
=mcθ
=5890g x 0.900 J/(g*K) x -147°C
=-779,247j

Answer would be C.

A helicopter lifts a 72 kg astronaut 15 m vertically from the ocean by means of a cable. The acceleration of the astronaut is g/

NemiM [27]

Answer:

a) $F_H=776.952\ N$

b) $F_g=706.32\ N$

c) $v=5.4249\ m.s^{-1}$

d) $KE=1059.48\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the astronaut, $m=72\ kg$

vertical displacement of the astronaut, $h=15\ m$

acceleration of the astronaut while the lift, $a=\frac{g}{10} =0.981\ m.s^{-2}$

a)

<u>Now the force of lift by the helicopter:</u>

Here the lift force is the resultant of the force of gravity being overcome by the force of helicopter.

$F_H-F_g=m.a$

where:

$F_H=$ force by the helicopter

$F_g=$ force of gravity

$F_H=72\times 0.981+72\times9.81$

$F_H=776.952\ N$

b)

The gravitational force on the astronaut:

$F_g=m.g$

$F_g=72\times 9.81$

$F_g=706.32\ N$

d)

Since the astronaut has been picked from an ocean we assume her initial velocity to be zero, $u=0\ m.s^{-1}$

using equation of motion:

$v^2=u^2+2a.h$

$v^2=0^2+2\times 0.981\times 15$

$v=5.4249\ m.s^{-1}$

c)

Hence the kinetic energy:

$KE=\frac{1}{2} m.v^2$

$KE=0.5\times 72\times 5.4249^2$

$KE=1059.48\ J$

a light bulb has a resistance of 360 . what is the current in the bulb when it has a potential difference of 120 v across it? 0.

xenn [34]

Presume we are looking for the current:

V = IR

120 = I*360

120/360 = I

1/3 = I

I = 1/3 = 0.333..

Current ≈ 0.33 Ampere.
