Answer:

Explanation:

This is an application of Newton's second Law.

Formula

F = m * a

F = 300 N

m = 100 kg

a = ?

F = m * a

300N = 100 kg * a Divide by 100

300N/100kg = a

a = 3 m/sec^2

Round your answers to one decimal place.this parallel circuit has two resistors at 15 and 40 ohms. what is the total resistance?

lubasha [3.4K]

1) The equivalent resistance of two resistors in parallel is given by:
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}$
so in our problem we have
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{15 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{40 \Omega}=0.092 \Omega^{-1}$
and the equivalent resistance is
$R_{eq} = \frac{1}{0.092 \Omega^{-1}}=10.9 \Omega$

2) If we have a battery of 12 V connected to the circuit, the current in the circuit will be given by Ohm's law, therefore:
$I= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}= \frac{12 V}{10.9 \Omega}=1.1 A$

Radio wave radiation falls in the wavelength region of 10.0 to 1000 meters. What is the energy of radio wave radiation that has

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of radiation $\lambda =784\ m$

We know Energy of wave with wavelength $\lambda$ is given by

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }$

where h=Planck's constant

c=velocity of light

$\lambda$ =wavelength of wave

$E=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{784}$

$E=2.53\times 10^{-28}\ J$

Hence the energy of the wave with wavelength 784 m is $2.53\times 10^{-28}\ J$

A bullet fired horizontally over level ground hits the ground in 0.5 second. If it had been fired with twice the speed in the sa

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

In 0.5 seconds.

Explanation:

The time would be the same because it only depends on the height and the vertical component of the initial velocity. This is of course because each direction must be treated independently. Since between both cases only the horizontal speed changes, the height is the same and the vertical component of the initial velocity is null for both, the time to fall is the same.

a shopper pushes a cart 40.0m south down one aisle and then turns 90.0 degrees and moves 15.0m. He then makes another 90.0 degre

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The displacement is the distnce of the shopper from the starting point.

Sum of movement along the vertical = 40-20 = 20m

Movement along the horizontal (x direction) = 15.0m

Displacement will be gotten using the pythagoras theorem.

d = √20²+ 15²

d = √400+225

d = √625

d = 25.0m

Hence the shoppers total displacement is 25.0m
