Answer:

Explanation:

given equation

aA + bB + C = 0

Putting the given values

a(6i-8j) +b (-8i-3j) +(26i-19j) = 0

i ( 6a - 8b ) - j ( 8a + 3 b ) = - 26 i + 19 j

comparing the coefficients of i and j

6a - 8b = -26

8a + 3b = -19.

multiplying first equation by 4 and second equation by 3

24a - 32 b = - 104

24a + 9b = -57

9b + 32b = -57 + 104

41 b = 47

b = 1.41

6 a - 8 x 1.41 = -26

6a = -14.72

a = - 2.45

An automatic coffee maker uses a resistive heating element to boil the 2.4 kg of water that was poured into it at 21 °C. The cur

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Explanation:

The expression for the calculation of the enthalpy change of a process is shown below as:-

$\Delta H=m\times C\times \Delta T$

Where,

$\Delta H$

is the enthalpy change

m is the mass

C is the specific heat capacity

$\Delta T$

is the temperature change

Thus, given that:-

Mass of water = 2.4 kg

Specific heat = 4.18 J/g°C

$\Delta T=100-21\ ^0C=79\ ^0C$

So,

$\Delta H=2.4\times 4.18\times 79\ J=792.52\ kJ$

Heat Supplied $Q=VIt$

where $i=current$

$V=Voltage$

$8.5\times 120\times t=2.4\times 4186\times 79$

$t=778.10 s$

A balloon drifts 140m toward the west in 45s ; then the wind suddenly changes and the balloon flies 90m toward the east in the n

Bogdan [553]

Answer: 140 m

Explanation:

Let's begin by stating clear that motiont is the change of position of a body at a certain time. So, during this motion, the balloon will have a trajectory and a displacement, being both different:

The trajectory is the path followed by the body, the distance it travelled (is a scalar quantity).

The displacement is the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position (is a vector quantity).

So, according to this, the distance the balloon traveled during the first 45 s (its trajectory) is 140 m.

But, if we talk about displacement, we have to draw a straight line between the initial position of the balloon (point 0) to its final position (point 90 m). Being its displacement 95 m.

An object of mass M is dropped near the surface of Earth such that the gravitational field provides a constant downward force on

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The answer is: c. It does not move

Explanation:

Because the gravitational force is characterized by being an internal force within the Earth-particle system, in this case, the object of mass M. And since in this system there is no external force in the system, it can be concluded that the center of mass of the system will not move.

A small box of mass m1 is sitting on a board of mass m2 and length L (Figure 1) . The board rests on a frictionless horizontal s

chubhunter [2.5K]

Explanation:

Whole system will accelerate under the action of applied force. The box will experience the force against the friction and when this force exceeds then the box will move. so

Ff = μs×m1×g

m1×a = μs×m1×g

a = μs×g

The applied force is given by

F = (m1 + m2)×a so

F = μs×g×(m1+m2)
