Answer:

407 steps

Explanation:

From the question,

P = mgh/t........... Equation 1

Where P = power, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height, t = time.

Make h the subject of the equation

h = Pt/mg............. Equation 2

Given: P = 746 W, t = 1 minute = 60 seconds, m = 70 kg.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

h = 746(60)/(70×9.8)

h = 44760/686

h = 65.25 m

h = 6525 cm

number of steps = 6525/16

number of steps = 407 steps

Which of these discoveries contradict components of Dalton’s atomic theory? Check all of the boxes that apply. Atoms contain sma
EastWind [94]

Explanation:

According to Dalton's atomic theory, all the atoms are individual, all the atoms of the same element are identical in properties and mass, the compound is formed from two or more kinds of the atoms, all the matter is made up of small atoms and the chemical reaction is a rearrangement of the atoms.

The discoveries which contradicts the components of Dalton's atomic theory from the given discoveries are:

Nuclear reactions can change an atom of one element into an atom of another element.

Atoms of a given element can have different numbers of neutrons.

Atoms contain smaller particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Utility poles are to be set every 30 meters. How many poles will be set in one mile if one was set at the beginning of the mile)
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

53

Explanation:

Because there are 1609.34 meters in a mile. 1609.34÷30=53.64 but because you put one at the beginning of the mile it will stay 53 and not round up to 54

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

27 °C

Explanation:

BY the statement of the question it is clear that it is about an ideal gas - and hence if change in KE is about zero - then there will be no change of temperature.

So, answer is 27 °C

qwelly [4]

Explanation:

   Force                     Description

1. F_g         It is also known as the weight of an object. It is the force that is exerted on an object due to its mass

2. F_p         It is force which is exerted by a push or a pull on an object. It is also known as applied force.

3. F_f          It is known as resistive force. It opposes the motion of an object.

4. F_n        It is the force which is at a right angle to the surface or                              perpendicular to the surface.

A 6-in-wide polyamide F-1 flat belt is used to connect a 2-in-diameter pulley to drive a larger pulley with an angular velocity
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

a) Fc = 4.15 N, Fi = 435.65 N, (F1)a = 640 N, and F2  = 239.6 N,

b) Ha = 1863.75 N, nfs = 1 , length = 11.8 mm

Explanation:

Given that:

γ= 9.5 kN/m³ = 9500N/m3

b = 6 inches = 0.1524 m

t = 0.0013 mm

d = 2 inches  = 0.0508 m

n = 1750 rpm

H_{nom}=2hp=1491.4W

L = 9 ft = 2.7432 m

Ks = 1.25

g = 9.81 m/s²

a)

w=\gamma b t = 9500* 0.1524*0.0013=1.88N/m

V=\frac{\pi d n}{60} =\pi *0.0508*1750/60=4.65 m/s

F_c=\frac{wV^2}{g}=1.88*4.65^2/9.81=4.15N

(F_1)_a=bF_aC_pC_v=0.1524*6000*0.7*1=640N

T=\frac{H_{nom}n_dK_s}{2\pi n}= \frac{1491*1.25*1}{2*\pi*1750/60}=10.17Nm

F_2=(F_1)_a-\frac{2T}{D}= 640-\frac{2*10.17}{0.0508} =239.6N

F_i=\frac{(F_1)_a+F_2}{2} -F_c=435.65N

b)

H_a=1491*1.25=1863.75W

n_f_s=\frac{H_a}{H_{nom}K_S }=1

dip = \frac{L^2w}{8F_i} =\frac{2.7432*1.88}{435.65}=11.8mm
