Answer:

500 N

Explanation:

Because even if he lift one foot his weight will be same as the pressure applied on the scale will be the same and will not change it is not that the scale measures each foot separately

Two blocks of masses m and M are connected by a string and pass over a frictionless pulley. Mass m hangs vertically, and mass M

horsena [70]

Answer:

$sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = \frac{m}{M}$

$sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = 1$

Explanation:

Force of friction on M mass so that it will move down the inclined plane is given as

$F_f = \mu Mgcos\theta$

now if it is moving down the inclined plane at constant speed

so we will have

$Mgsin\theta - T - \mu mgcos\theta = 0$

on other side the mass "m" will go up at constant speed

so we have

$T - mg = 0$

so we have

$Mgsin\theta = \mu Mgcos\theta + mg$

so we have

$sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = \frac{m}{M}$

for special case when m = M

then we have

$sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = 1$

Calculate the current flowing if a charge of 36 kilocoulombs flows in 1 hour.

o-na [289]

Answer:

Current = 10 Amperes.

Explanation:

Given the following dat;

Quantity of charge, Q = 36 kilocoulombs (KC) = 36 * 1000 = 36000C

Time = 1 hour to seconds = 60*60 = 3600 seconds

To find the current;

Quantity of charge = current * time

Substituting in the equation

36000 = current * 3600

Current = 36000/3600

Current = 10 Amperes.

What color would a yellow cloth appear to have if illuminated with sunlight?

den301095 [7]

The colour we see is a measure of the wavelengths of light nor absorbed by the cloth. We would call the colour of the cloth blue if it absorbed longer wavelengths of yellow/orange/red. Sunlight contains all the visible wavelengths. Whatever is not absorbed is reflected.

Consider two ideal gases, A & B, at the same temperature. The rms speed of the molecules of gas A is twice that of gas B. Ho

uysha [10]

Answer:

option (d)

Explanation:

The relation between the rms velocity and the molecular mass is given by

v proportional to \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}} keeping the temperature constant

So for two gases

$\frac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}}$
