A scientist measures the number of flies in a room over time. The results are

Calculate the force it would take to accelerate a 250 kg motorcycle at a rate of 5 m/s2

Sphinxa [80]

Force = mass x acceleration

Mass is given to be 250kg

Acceleration is given to be 5m/s^2

Force = 250kg x 5m/s^2 = 1,250 kgm/s^2 = 1,250 Newtons

Charge flows from low potential to high potential.<br> O True<br> or<br> O False

inn [45]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Think of the electric potential in terms of potential energy. If you imagine a place with high elevation (A) and another one at sea level (B), a ball will roll from high potential to low potential (A-->B).

Everything in our universe wants to reach a lower state of energy if no external force is acted upon it. Every object tends to slow down (friction), a radioactive element dissipates energy (an unstable element releases energy to get to a stable state), water in the clouds comes down to the ground (rain experiencing difference in potential energy).

Electric potential is exactly the same, you just can't see it! It flows from higher voltage (which is a synonym for electric potential) to lower voltage.

A demented scientist creates a new temperature scale, the "Z scale." He decides to call the boiling point of nitrogen 0°Z and th

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

A) $Z = 0.577 C +112.931$

$Z = 0.577*(100) +112.931=170.631 Z$

B) $C=\frac{Z-112.931}{0.577}= \frac{100-112.931}{0.577}=-22.41 C$

C) $K = C +273.15$

$K = -22.41 +273.15 =250.739 K$

Explanation:

For this case we want to create a function like this:

$Z = a C + b$

Where Z represent the degrees for the Z scale C the Celsius grades and tha valus a and b parameters for the model.

The boiling point of nitrogen is -195,8 °C

The melting point of iron is 1538 °C

We know the following equivalences:

-195.8 °C = 0 °Z

1538 °C = 1000 °Z

Let's say that one point its (1538C, 1000 Z) and other one is (-195.8 C, 0Z)

So then we can calculate the slope for the linear model like this:

$a = \frac{z_2 -z_1}{c_2 -c_1}= \frac{1000 Z- 0Z}{1538C -(-195.8 C)}=\frac{1000 Z}{1733.8 C}=0.577 \frac{Z}{C}$

And now for the slope we can use one point let's use for example (-195.8C, 0Z), and we have this:

$0 = 0.577 (-195.8) + b$

And if we solve for b we got:

$b = 0.577*195.8 =112.931 Z$

So then our lineal model would be:

$Z = 0.577 C +112.931$

Part A

The boiling point of water is 100C so we just need to replace in the model and see what we got:

$Z = 0.577*(100) +112.931=170.631 Z$

Part B

For this case we have Z =100 and we want to solve for C, so we can do this:

$Z-112.931 = 0.577 C$

$C=\frac{Z-112.931}{0.577}= \frac{100-112.931}{0.577}=-22.41 C$

Part C

For this case we know that $K = C +273.15$

And we can use the result from part B to solve for K like this:

$K = -22.41 +273.15 =250.739 K$

Why is the unit of momentum called derived unit

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

the SI unit of momentum is :- kg.ms-1

and we know that,

kinetic energy = 1/2 mv2

E=p2/2m

p=(2Em)1/2

so the derived units are (J.kg)1/2

What do you call the theory that says gravitational attraction caused bits of matter to collapse, begin spinning, and eventually

Semenov [28]

The nebular hypothesis is the name of the theory where gravitational attraction caused bits of matter to collapse, eventually forming a solar system.
Hope this helps :)
