In a game of tug of war, team one pulls to the right with a force of 500 newtons and team two pulls to the left with a force of

600 newtons. What is the net force?

Answer:

Explanation:

There is no set way to do this. All you have to do is define left and right. Left will be minus and right will be the opposite --- plus.

That is completely arbitrary. It could be the other way around. It does not matter.

Left is minus so: - 600 N   is the force going left.

Right plus so: + 500 N

Now just add.

Net Force = +500 - 600

Net Force = - 100 N

So the Net Force is - 100 N going to the left.

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9. 8 m/s2. What is the weight of a 75 kg person on Earth? 9. 8 N 75 N 85 N 735 N.
Illusion [34]

The weight of a 75 kg person on Earth, which has an acceleration due to gravity of 9.8m/s², is 735N.

CALCULATE WEIGHT:

Weight is a force, hence, measured in Newton. It is a function of an object's mass in relation to gravity.

Weight of an object can be calculated using the following formula:

W = mg

Where;

  • W = weight (N)
  • m = mass (kg)
  • g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

The weight of the person in this question can be calculated as follows:

W = 75 × 9.8

W = 735N

Therefore, the weight of a 75 kg person on Earth, which has an acceleration due to gravity of 9.8m/s², is 735N.

A particular interaction force does work wint inside a system. the potential energy of the interaction is u. which equation rela
larisa86 [58]

ΔU = -Wint

Consdier the work of of interaction is W =m*g*h - equation -1

and the Potential energy U.

Final Potential energy Uf =0 , And the Initial Potential Energy Ui =m*g*h

<span>Now we will write the equation for a Change in Potential energy ΔU,</span>

ΔU = Uf - Ui

= 0-m*g*h

<span>  ΔU = -m*g*h --Equation 2</span>

Now compare the both equation

<span>Wint = -ΔU</span>

we can rewrite the above equation

ΔU = -W.

<span>So our Answer is ΔU = -W. .</span>

The Balmer series in hydrogen atom produces only infrared emission. O True O False
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

As we know that, the Balmer series gives the n values as,

n_{i}=2.

[tex]n_{f}=3,4,5,.....\infty.

Now the value of wavelength can be calculated as,

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R(\frac{1}{n_{i} }-\frac{1}{n_{f} } )z^{2}.

Here, R=109677 cm^{-1}.

And n_{f}=3.

Now,

\frac{1}{\lambda}=109677 cm^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}).

Therefore,

\lambda=\frac{6}{109677} cm\\\lambda=547\times 10^{-9} m\\ \lambda=547 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of Balmer series lies in visible region which is 547 nm.

A pulley lifts a 72-N load with a force of 24-N. The input distance is 2m and the output distance is 0.5m. What is the efficienc
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done on the lever ( input energy ) = force applied x input distance

= 24 N x 2m = 48 J

Work done by the lever ( output energy ) = load x output distance

= 72 N x 0.5m = 36 J

efficiency = output energy / input energy

= 36 J  / 48 J

= 3 / 4 = .75

In percentage terms efficiency = 75 % .
