Explanation:

The direction of the force of gravity through the body is downward, towards the centre of the earth and through the COG. This line of gravity is important to understand and visualise when determining a person's ability to successfully maintain Balance.

Which of the following is the most appropriate description of an electric current?

Olenka [21]

Electric current is the flow of charge due to the potential difference between two terminals per unit time. It is denoted by I and its unit is amp. It can be mathematically expressed as I=Q/t.

At a playground, a child slides down a slide that makes a 42° angle with the horizontal direction. The coefficient of kinetic fr

kumpel [21]

Answer:

$a = 5.1\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given,

The angle of the slide= $42^\circ$

The mass of the child is= m

coefficient of friction = 0.20

when she slides down now apply Newton's law

$ma =mg \sin\theta - f$

$ma = mg\sin \theta -\mu mg \cos \theta$

therefore the acceleration

$a=g \sin\theta -\mu gcos\theta$

$a=g[\sin \theta -\mu \cos \theta]$

$a=9.8\times [\sin 42^\circ -0.2\times \cos 42^\circ]$

$a = 5.1\ m/s^2$

hence, the magnitude of acceleration during her sliding is equal to $a = 5.1\ m/s^2$

Fighter jet starting from airbase A flies 300 km east , then 350 km at 30° west of north and then 150km north to arrive finally

Tems11 [23]

A jet fighter flies from the airbase A 300 km East to the point M. Then 350 km at 30° West of North.
It means : at 60° North of West. So the distance from the final point to the line AM is :
350 · cos 60° = 350 · 0.866 = 303.1 km
Let`s assume that there is a line N on AM.
AN = 125 km and NM = 175 km.
And finally jet fighter flies 150 km North to arrive at airbase B.
NB = 303.1 + 150 = 453.1 km
Then we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
d ( AB ) = √(453.1² + 125²) = √(205,299.61 + 15,625) = 470 km
Also foe a direction: cos α = 125 / 470 = 0.266
α = cos^(-1) 0.266 = 74.6°
90° - 74.6° = 15.4°
Answer: The distance between the airbase A and B is 470 km.
Direction is : 15.4° East from the North.

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

All substances have characteristic physical and chemical properties. Physical properties are those that can be observed with the senses without changing the identity of the substance. Chemical properties describe how a substance can be changed into a new substance. Physical and chemical properties, such as color, density, boiling point, solubility, conductivity, and flammability, A. are always different between substances. B. depend on the amount of the substance. C. do not depend on the amount of the substance. D. have the same values for all substances.
