How much (in newtons) does a 10.0Kg bag of grass seed weigh

1 answer:

3 0

Weight is equal to the mass of the object times the acceleration due to gravity (which is 9.8 $m/s^{2}$ on earth)

So W=mg
W=10.0 × 9.8 = 98

So the weight is 98N.

A 45 N girl sits on a bench 0.6 meters off the ground. How much work is done on the bench?

ycow [4]

Answer: 27 joules

Explanation:

Work is done when force is applied on the bench over a distance. it is measured in joules.

Workdone = force x distance

= 45 N x 0.6 metres

= 27 joules

Thus, 27 joules of work is done on the bench.

A box slides down a ramp inclined at 24◦ to the horizontal with an acceleration of 1.7 m/s 2 . The acceleration of gravity is 9.

Answer:

Explanation:

In friction, the coefficient of friction formula is expressed as;

$\mu = \frac{F_f}{R}$

Ff is the frictional force = Wsinθ

R is the reaction = Wcosθ

Substitute inti the equation;

$\mu = \frac{Wsin \theta}{W cos\theta} \\\mu = \frac{sin \theta}{cos\theta} \\\mu = tan \theta$

Given

θ = 24°

$\mu = tan 24^0\\\mu = 0.445\\$

Hence the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is 0.445

What allows the bimetallic coil to turn on or off a heating or cooling system? The two metals contract the same amount. The ther

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The two metals expand differently.

Explanation:

The bimetallic strip has two metal strips positioned like a bridge, these strips connect the electrical circuit to the heating system. When these strips are linear or "down" they allow the electricity to move through the circuit to the heating system to turn the heat on. When the strips are "up" the disconnect the electricity flow, thus turning the heating system off, thus the room becomes cool/cold.

Equations to use: v= λ ∙ f v=d/t

Margarita [4]

b. 460.8 m/s

Explanation:

The relationship between the speed of the wave along the string, the length of the string and the frequency of the note is

$f=\frac{v}{2L}$

where v is the speed of the wave, L is the length of the string and f is the frequency. Re-arranging the equation and substituting the data of the problem (L=0.90 m and f=256 Hz), we can find v:

$v=2Lf=2(0.90 m)(256 Hz)=460.8 m/s$

c. 18,000 m

Explanation:

The relationship between speed of the wave, distance travelled and time taken is

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

v = 6,000 m/s is the speed of the wave

d = ? is the distance travelled

t = 3 s is the time taken

Re-arranging the formula and substituting the numbers into it, we find:

$d=vt=(6,000 m/s)(3 s)=18,000 m$
