Answer:

The reading will be the same.

Explanation:

Mass does not depend upon anything and it remains the same anywhere. What changes is the weight of the body because it depends upon gravity and is different at different places.

You happen to know that the coefficient of static friction between your patio table and the ground is 0.42. You decide you want
Deffense [45]

Answer:

If the force applied is larger than 185.2 N, yes.

Explanation:

In order to move the table, the pushing force must be larger than the frictional force. The frictional force is given by:

F_f = \mu mg

where

\mu=0.42 is the coefficient of static friction

m=45 kg is the mass of the table

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration

Substituting,

F_f=(0.42)(45 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=185.2 N

So, we are able to move the table if we push with a force larger than 185.2 N.

If you have 80g of a radioactive substance whose half life is 2 days, how long will it take for the substance to decay to the po
Ber [7]

Answer:

6 days.

Explanation:

From radioactivity, The expression for half life is given as,

R/R' = 2⁽ᵃ/ᵇ)................... Equation 1

Where R = original mass of the radioactive substance, R' = Remaining mass of the radioactive substance after decay, a = Total time taken to decay, b = half life.

Given: R = 80 g, R' = 10 g, b = 2 days.

Substitute into equation 1

80/10 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾

8 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾

2³ = 2⁽ᵃ/²)

Equating the base and solving for a

3 = a/2

a = 2×3

a = 6 days.

David is investigating the properties of soil using the sample shown.
xenn [34]

Although the sample is not shown in this question, we can conclude that it would be reasonably easy for David to provide evidence of the color, consistency, temperature, and texture of the soil.

<h3 />

<h3>What are these properties an example of?</h3>

These are all examples of the physical properties of a sample. Since we cannot see the sample that David is using, it would be safest to assume that he would have no trouble providing evidence as to the physical properties of the soil, the:

  • Color
  • Consistency
  • Temperature
  • Texture

are all examples of this.

Therefore, we can confirm that David can provide evidence of the color, consistency, temperature, and texture of the soil.
