Answer:

D) 19.8 lbs

Explanation:

1kg in household measurement is equal to 35.274 ounces. 35.274*9=317.466 ounces.

1kg is also equal to 2.205 lbs. 9*2.205=19.8416

9 kg is also equal to 9000 grams, but grams are not a part of the household measurement system

a) 9000 grams. b) 9000 ounces. c) 19.8 ounces. d) 19.8 pounds.

This leaves us with 19.8lbs

Why do we experience a high tide twice a day?

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Coastal areas experience two low tides and two high tides every lunar day, or 24 hours and 50 minutes. The two tidal bulges caused by inertia and gravity will rotate around the Earth as the moons position changes. These bulges represent high tides while the flat sides indicate low tides.

Over the course of 1 day, the position of the moon does not change very much compared to the rotation of the earth. As the earth rotates below the moon, one point on the earth will go through all levels of tide as the day passes by. Strongly attracted, middling, weakly attracted, and then middleagain. From our perspective it looks like "high, low, high, low." Or equivalently you can think about how the points below the moon and opposite the moon will be high tide, and as the earth rotates, those areas will change.

What is it called when something doesn’t flow easy

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

That something is called having a high viscosity.

Explanation:

The measure expressing a "resistance to flow" is called viscosity. Viscosity relates to internal friction forces in a fluid causing it to flow with more or less difficulty. Highly viscous stuff is perceived "thick" or "sticky."

A stuntman with a mass of 80.5 kg swings across a moat from a rope that is 11.5 m. At the bottom of the swing the stuntman's spe

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

No
5.49 m/s

Explanation:

The net force required to accelerate the stuntman in a circular arc of radius 11.5 m will be ...

F = mv²/r . . . . where this m is the mass being accelerated, v is the tangential velocity, and r is the radius.

Here, the net force needs to be ...

F = (80.5 kg)(8.45 m/s)²/(11.5 m) . . . . . where this m is meters

≈ 499.8175 kg·m/s² = 499.8 N

Gravity exerts a force on the stuntman of ...

F = mg = (80.5 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 788.9 kg·m/s² = 788.9 N

Then the tension required in the rope/vine is ...

499.8 N+788.9 N= 1288.7 N

This is more than the capacity of the rope, so we do not expect the stuntman to make it across the moat.

_____

The allowed net force for centripetal acceleration is ...

1000 N -788.9 N = 211.1 N

Then the allowed velocity is ...

211.1 = 80.5v²/11.5

30.16 = v² . . . . multiply by 11.5/80.5

5.49 = v . . . . . . take the square root

The maximum speed the stuntman can have is 5.49 m/s.

_____

<em>Comment on crossing the moat</em>

The kinetic energy at the bottom of the swing translates to potential energy at the end of the swing. At the lower speed, the stuntman cannot rise as high, so will traverse a shorter arc. At 8.45 m/s, the moat could be about 16.8 m wide; at 5.49 m/s, it can only be about 11.5 m wide.

A boy throws a snowball straight up in the air with an initial speed of 4.50 ft/s from a position 4.00 ft above the ground. The

IgorC [24]

Answer:

a) 0.658 seconds

b) 0.96 inches

Explanation:

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=4.5-32.1\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-4.5}{-32.1}=t\\\Rightarrow t=0.14 \s$

Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 0.14 seconds

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=4.5\times 0.14+\frac{1}{2}\times -32.1\times 0.14^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.315\ ft$

The highest point reached by the snowball above its release point is 0.315 ft

Total height the snowball will fall is 4+0.315 = 4.315 ft

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 4.315=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 32.1\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{4.315\times 2}{32.1}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.518\ s$

The snowball will reach the bank at 0.14+0.518 = 0.658 seconds after it has been thrown

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+32.1\times 0.518\\\Rightarrow v=16.62\ ft/s$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-16.62^2}{2\times -100\times 3.28}\\\Rightarrow s=0.42\ ft$

The snowball goes 0.5-0.42 = 0.08 ft = 0.96 inches
