Given that a car is in the road, there is only movement in the x-direction. There is no movement in the y-direction.
Looking at the y-direction for the normal force:
F = N - mg
0 = N - mg, (no movement in y-dir.)
N = mg
N = (990)(9.8)
N = 9702 newtons
The normal force exerted on the car by the road is 9702 newtons.
Answer:
A = 2 cm
, λ = 8 cm
Explanation:
The amplitude of a wave is the maximum height it has, in this case the height is measured by the vertical ruler,
We are told the balance point is in the reading of 5 cm, that the maximum reading is 3 cm and the Minimum reading is 7 cm. Therefore, the distance from the ends of the ridge to the point of equilibrium is
d = 7-5 = 2 cm
d = 5-3 = 2 cm
A = 2 cm
The wavelength is the minimum horizontal distance for which the wave is repeated, that is measured by the horizontal ruler.
The initial reading for 4 cm and the final reading for 8 cm, this distance corresponds to a crest of the wave, the complete wave is formed by two crests whereby the wavelength is twice this value
Δx = 8-4 = 4 cm
λ = 2 Δx
λ = 8 cm
E mass number of any given atom depends solely on the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The mass number of any atom can be determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons. (Mathematically this is stated as Mass Number = Protons + Neutrons). For instance, a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons will have a mass number of 12AMU. However, a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 8 Neutrons will have a mass number of 14AMU. They are both Carbon atoms, however they each have a different mass number. Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, and therefore, different mass numbers, are called isotopes. Isotopic symbols are used to indicate isotopes of the same elements. In the following isotopic symbols the lower number is the atomic number…it is the number of protons. The upper number is the mass number, it represents to sum of the protons and neutrons in the atoms nucleus.
To establish the age of a rock or a fossil, researchers use some type of clock to determine the date it was formed. Geologists commonly use radiometric dating methods, based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon, as reliable clocks to date ancient events.
