Answer:

The work done to get you safely away from the test is  2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the rope, L = 70 ft

mass per unit length of the rope, μ = 2 lb/ft

your mass, W = 120 lbs

mass of the 70 ft rope  = 2 lb/ft x 70 ft

                                         = 140 lbs.

Total mass to be pulled to the helicopter, M = 120 lbs  + 140 lbs  

                                                                       = 260 lbs

The work done is calculated from work-energy theorem as follows;

W = Mgh

where;

g is acceleration due gravity = 32.17 ft/s²

h is height the total mass is raised = length of the rope = 70 ft

W = 260 Lb x 32.17 ft/s²  x 70 ft

W = 585494 lb.ft²/s²

1 lb.ft²/s² = 0.0421 J

W = 585494 lb.ft²/s²  = 2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Therefore, the work done to get you safely away from the test is  2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Which one of the following is radical?<br>a.NH4+<br>b.CUSO4<br>c.CH4<br>d.NH3​
klio [65]

Answer:

The unit that is a radical among the options is;

a. NH₄⁺

Explanation:

A radical is an atom, group of atoms molecule or ion that contains an electron that is unpaired. The presence of the unpaired electrons make radical very reactive as such most radicals enter into reactions with other species or with themselves to form new compounds making them not last long.

Radicals are also known as free radicals. Examples of radicals includes; Ammonium ion, NH₄⁺

Nitrate ion NO₃⁻ (From a salt)

Hydroxide ion OH⁻ (From a base)

Sulphate ion SO₄²⁺ (From an acid)

All of which are formed in aqueous solution of acids, salts and bases.

A toroid having a square cross section, 5.49 cm on a side, and an inner radius of 18.1 cm has 450 turns and carries a current of
joja [24]

Answer:

(a) 4.27 x 10^-4 Telsa

(b) 3.28 x 10^-4 Telsa

Explanation:

side of square, a = 5.49 cm

inner radius, r = 18.1 cm = 0.181 m

number of turns,N = 450

current, i = 0.859 A

(a)

The magnetic field due to a solenoid due to inner radius is

B = \frac{\mu_{0}Ni}{2\pi r_{inner}}

B = \frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 450\times 0.859}{2\pi \times 0.181}

B = 4.27 x 10^-4 Telsa

(b)

The outer radius is R = 18.1 + 5.49 = 23.59 cm = 0.236 m

The magnetic field due to the outer radius is

B = \frac{\mu_{0}Ni}{2\pi r_{outer}}

B = \frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 450\times 0.859}{2\pi \times 0.236}

B = 3.28 x 10^-4 Tesla

which of the following statements best explains how consumers determine growth in technological areas
Mrac [35]
If these were the missing choices:

a)      Consumers fill out questionnaires concerning their need for new products.

b)      Consumers vote for politicians who decide which kind of research to support

c)       Consumers decide what to buy and what not to buy

d)      Consumers influence the decisions of private foundations by deciding where to donate money.


My answer would be: c)       <span>Consumers decide what to buy and what not to buy</span>

Every growth is based on the demand of the people. If a good or service is needed then its demand will increase. If a good or service is not needed then its demand will decrease until such time that said good or service will be eliminated.
