Find your mass if a scale on earth reads 650 N when you stand on it.
netineya [11]

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

Acceleration of gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

                                           Weight on Earth = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)

Divide each side by  (9.8 m/s²):          Mass = (weight) / (9.8 m/s²)

                                                            Mass = (650 N) / (9.8 m/s²)

                                                           Mass = 66.33 kg  (rounded)

Suppose you are measuring the height of a small child. What will determine the number if significant digits you record?
slega [8]

The number of significant digits of any measurement is determined by the instrument used for such measurement. For example, in this case, we have the height of a small child being measured. We can use a simple ruler for this, and we see that a ruler has ten divisions for 1 cm. This means that the ruler cannot measure beyond the size of 0.1 cm or 1 mm. Hence, when we report the height of the small child, we report it to one significant digit after the decimal place. As an example, if we measure a child's height to be 90 full cm divisions and 8 smaller divisions, we report it as 90.8 cm but not 90.83 or 90.86 cm.

3. What conclusion can you make about the electric field strength between two parallel plates? Explain your answer referencing P
KIM [24]

Answer:

From the relation above we can conclude that the  as the distance between the two plate increases the electric field strength decreases

Explanation:

I cannot  find any attached photo, but we can proceed anyways theoretically.

The electric field strength (E) at any point in an electric field is the force experienced by a unit positive charge (Q) at that point

i.e

E=\frac{F}{Q}

But the force F

F= \frac{kQ1Q2}{r^2}

But the electric field intensity due to a point charge Q at a distance r meters away is given by

E= \frac{\frac{kQ1Q2}{r^2}}{Q} \\\\\E= \frac{Q1}{4\pi er^2 }

<em>From the relation above we can conclude that the  as the distance between the two plate increases the electric field strength decreases</em>

A car initially traveling at 24 m/s slams on the brakes and moves forward 196 m before coming to a complete halt. What was the m
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

-1.47 m/s^2

Explanation:

We can use the following SUVAT equation to solve the problem:

v^2 - u^2 = 2ad

where

v = 0 is the final velocity of the car

u = 24 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d = 196 m is the displacement of the car before coming to a stop

Solving the equation for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-(24)^2}{2(196)}=-1.47 m/s^2
