Scientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. Calculations indicate that the en

tire structure would sink by a certain amount for every additional floor that is added. If the maximum permissible limit for depression of the structure is 20 centimeters, how many floors can be safely added to the building?

1st find the slope of the line:
(11-5)/(8.2-2.3) = 6/5.9 = 1.01

Find the equation of the line:

y - 5 = 1.01(x - 2.3)
y - 5 = 1.01x - 2.323
y = 1.01x + 2.667

Now set x to 20
y = 1.01(20) + 2.667
y = 20.2 + 2.667
y = 22.867 floors ~ 23 floors

A disk is spinning about its center with a constant angular speed at first. Let the turntable spin faster and faster, with const
hoa [83]

Answer:

4 (please see the attached file)

Explanation:

While the angular speed (counterclockwise) remained constant, the angular acceleration was just zero.

So, the only force acting on the bug (parallel to the surface) was the centripetal force, producing a centripetal acceleration directed towards the center of the disk.

When the turntable started to spin faster and faster, this caused a change in the angular speed, represented by the appearance of an angular acceleration α.

This acceleration is related with the tangential acceleration, by this expression:

at = α*r

This acceleration, tangent to the disk (aiming in the same direction of the movement, which is counterclockwise, as showed in the pictures) adds vectorially with the centripetal force, giving a resultant like the one showed in the sketch Nº 4.

Assume that you stay on the earth's surface. what is the ratio of the sun's gravitational force on you to the earth's gravitatio
Pachacha [2.7K]
First, let's determine the gravitational force of the Earth exerted on you. Suppose your weight is about 60 kg. 

F = Gm₁m₂/d²
where
m₁ = 5.972×10²⁴ kg (mass of earth)
m₂ = 60 kg
d = 6,371,000 m (radius of Earth)
G = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²

F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(5.972×10²⁴ kg)/(6,371,000 m )²
F = 589.18 N

Next, we find the gravitational force exerted by the Sun by replacing,
m₁ = 1.989 × 10³⁰<span> kg
Distance between centers of sun and earth = 149.6</span>×10⁹ m
Thus,
d = 149.6×10⁹ m - 6,371,000 m = 1.496×10¹¹ m

Thus,
F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(1.989 × 10³⁰ kg)/(1.496×10¹¹ m)²
F = 0.356  N

Ratio = 0.356  N/589.18 N
<em>Ratio = 6.04</em>

In general it is best to conceptualize vectors as arrows in space, and then to make calculations with them using their component
Dimas [21]

(1) A - B

(2) B - C

(3) - A + B - C

(4) 3A - 2C

(5) - 2A + 3B - C

(6) 2A - 3 (B - C)

Answer:

(1)  (3,-5,-4)

(2) (-5, 4, 0)

(3) (-6, 4, 3)

(4) (-3, -2, -11)

(5) (-11, 14, 8)

(6) (17, -12, -6)

Explanation:

A⃗ =(1,0,−3)

B⃗ =(−2,5,1)

C⃗ =(3,1,1)

Vector additions and subtraction are done on a component by component basis, that is, only data from component î can be added to or subtracted from another Vector's component î. And so on for components j and k.

1) (A - B) = (1,0,−3) - (−2,5,1) = (1-(-2), 0-5, -3-1) = (3,-5,-4)

2)  (B - C) = (−2,5,1) - (3,1,1) = (-2-3, 5-1, 1-1) = (-5, 4, 0)

3) -A + B - C = -(1,0,−3) + (−2,5,1) - (3,1,1) = (-1-2-3, 0+5-1, 3+1-1) = (-6, 4, 3)

4) 3A - 2C = 3(1,0,−3) - 2(3,1,1) = (3,0,-9) - (6,2,2) = (3-6, 0-2, -9-2) = (-3, -2, -11)

5) -2A + 3B - C = -2(1,0,−3) + 3(−2,5,1) - (3,1,1) = (-2,0,6) + (-6,15,3) - (3,1,1) = (-2-6-3, 0+15-1, 6+3-1) = (-11, 14, 8)

6) 2A - 3 (B - C) = 2(1,0,−3) - 3[(−2,5,1) - (3,1,1)] = (2,0,-6) - 3(-5,4,0) = (2+15, 0-12, -6-0) = (17, -12, -6)
