The standard acceleration (at sea level and 45◦ latitude) due to gravity is 9.806 65 m/s2. What is the force needed to hold a ma

a) Remember Newton's second Law:

F = m*a

This means that the forces that is being exerted over an object is equal to the mass of the object times the acceleration that it has.

In this case, in order to hold the mass you need a force with the same magnitude but opposite direction to the gravitational force. The magnitude of this force would be the mass of the object times the gravitactional  acceleration:

F = 2kg*9.80665m/s² = 19.6133 N

b) Using again Newton's second Law, we can issolate mass from that equation:

m = F/a

Then, the mass that a force of 1N can support is equal to:

m = 1N/9.80665m/s² = 0.102 kg

How many top quark lifetimes have there been in the history of the universe (i.e., what is the age of the universe divided by th
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

1.0\cdot 10^{41} times

Explanation:

First of all, we need to write both the age of the universe and the lifetime of the top quark in scientific notation.

Age of the universe:

T=100,000,000,000,000,000s = 1.0\cdot 10^{17} s (1 followed by 17 zeroes)

Lifetime of the top quark:

\tau = 0.000000000000000000000001s = 1.0\cdot 10^{-24} s (we moved the decimal point 24 places to the right)

Therefore, to answer the question, we have to calculate the ratio between the age of the universe and the lifetime of the top quark:

r = \frac{T}{\tau}=\frac{1.0\cdot 10^{17} s}{1.0\cdot 10^{-24} s}=1.0\cdot 10^{41}

An air-track glider undergoes a perfectly inelastic collision with an identical glider that is initially at rest. what fraction
DiKsa [7]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The initial KE (kinetic energy) of the system is
KE₁ = (1/2)mu²

After an inelastic collision, the two masses stick together.
Conservation of momentum requires that
m*u = 2m*v
Therefore
v = u/2

The final KE is
KE₂ = (1/2)(2m)v²
       = m(u/2)²
       = (1/4)mu²
      = (1/2) KE₁

The loss in KE is
KE₁ - KE₂ = (1/2) KE₁.

Conservation of energy requires that the loss in KE be accounted for as thermal energy.

A glass optical fiber is used to transport a light ray across a long distance. The fiber has an index of refraction of 1.540 and
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

73.13°

Explanation:

According to snell's law,

n1sinθi = n2sinθr

n1/n2 = sinθr/sinθi

Critical angle is the angle of incidence at the denser medium when the angle of incidence at the less dense medium is 90°

This means i=C and r = 90°

The Snell's law formula will become

n1/n2 = sinC/sin90°

n2/n1 = 1/sinC

Where n1 is the refractive index of the less dense medium = 1.473

n2 is the refractive index of the denser medium = 1.540

Substituting the values in the formula,

1.540/1.473 = 1/sinC

1.045 = 1/sinC

SinC = 1/1.045

SinC = 0.957

C = sin^-1(0.957)

C = 73.13°

An erect object is placed on the central axis of a thin lens, further from the lens than the magnitude of its focal length. The
Zolol [24]

Answer:

the image is virtual and erect and the lens divergent; therefore the correct answer is C

Explanation:

In a thin lens the magnification given by

      m = h '/ h = - q / p

where h ’is the height of the image, h is the height of the object, q is the distance to the image and p is the distance to the object.

It indicates that the object is straight and is placed at a distance p> f

analyze the situation tells us that the magnification is positive so the distance to the image must be negative, that is, that the image is on the same side as the object.

Consequently the lens must be divergent

The magnification value is

          0.4 = h ’/ h

          h ’= 0.4 h

therefore the erect images

therefore the image is virtual and erect and the lens divergent; therefore the correct answer is C
