Answer:

To calculate the pesticide required, you perform 55mg/kg multiplied by 0.02kg, which results in 1.1 mg of pesticides

Explanation:

(Options are missing)

Given that the typical weight of a cockroach is 0.02kg

And the requirement is 55mg for every 1 kg of roaches

The pesticide quantity needed for a 0.02kg roach is calculated as 55mg/kg times 0.02kg

Thus, the amount = 55mg/kg multiplied by 0.02 kg

Amount = 55mg/kg times 0.02 kg

Amount = 1.1mg

<pconsequently the="" required="" pesticide="" quantity="" is="">

The radius of the earth's orbit around the sun (assumed to be circular) is 1.50 108 km, and the earth travels around this orbit
kicyunya [3294]

(a) 29,905 m/s

The speed of Earth's orbit around the Sun can be obtained by dividing the total distance of the orbit by the duration of the orbital period:

v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}

where

r=1.50 \cdot 10^8 km = 1.50 \cdot 10^{11} m represents the radius of the orbit

T=365 d \cdot 24 h/d \cdot 60 min/h \cdot 60 s/min =3.15 \cdot 10^7 s is the period taken for a complete orbit by Earth

By plugging values into this formula, we can calculate the orbital speed:

v=\frac{2\pi (1.50\cdot 10^{11} m)}{(3.15\cdot 10^7 s)}=29,905 m/s

(b) 5.96\cdot 10^{-3} m/s^2

The centripetal acceleration that Earth experiences as it is drawn toward the sun is called radial acceleration:

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

where

v = 29,905 m/s is the orbital speed

r=1.50 \cdot 10^8 km = 1.50 \cdot 10^{11} m is the radius of the orbit

By inserting into the relevant equation, we can derive:

a=\frac{(29,905 m/s)^2}{(1.50\cdot 10^{11} m)}=5.96\cdot 10^{-3} m/s^2

(c) 6,801 m/s

For the planet Uranus, we can determine:

r=2.87 \cdot 10^9 km = 2.87 \cdot 10^{12} m is the radius of its orbit

T=84.02 y \cdot 365 d/y \cdot 24 h/d \cdot 60 min/h \cdot 60 s/min =2.65 \cdot 10^9 s is the time it takes for one complete orbit

Thus, the orbital speed is calculated as:

v=\frac{2\pi (2.87\cdot 10^{12} m)}{(2.65\cdot 10^9 s)}=6,801 m/s

(d) 1.61\cdot 10^{-5} m/s^2

For Uranus, with v = 6,801 m/s marking the orbital speed

r=2.87 \cdot 10^9 km = 2.87 \cdot 10^{12} m is the orbital radius

Thus, the radial acceleration can be expressed as:

a=\frac{(6,801 m/s)^2}{(2.87\cdot 10^{12} m)}=1.61\cdot 10^{-5} m/s^2

Two objects are placed in thermal contact and are allowed to come to equilibrium in isolation. The heat capacity of Object A is
kicyunya [3294]
Heat capacity of A is three times that of B

and the initial temperature for A is twice that of B

with TA = 2 TB

Let T denote the final temperature of the system.

The heat lost by A equals the heat gained by B:

mass of A x specific heat of A x (TA - T) = mass of B x specific heat of B x ( T - TB)

which simplifies to heat capacity of A x ( TA - T) = heat capacity of B x ( T - TB)

resulting in 3 x heat capacity of B x ( TA - T) = heat capacity of B x ( T - TB).

This leads us to the equation: 3 TA - 3 T = T - TB

which rearranges to yield 6 TB + TB = 4 T

thus giving us T = 1.75 TB

All forces on the bullets cancel so that the net force on a bullet is zero, which means the bullet has zero acceleration and is
Sav [3153]
With all forces acting on the bullets balanced, the resultant force on a bullet becomes zero, leading to zero acceleration and establishing a state identified as constant velocity. The bullet maintains a steady velocity. Since acceleration signifies the change in velocity over time, having no acceleration indicates a constant velocity.

Simone is walking her dog on a leash. The dog is pulling with a force of 32 N to the right and Simone is pulling backward with a
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Conclusion:

The total net force acting on the objects is 16 N, directed towards the right.

Clarification:

It is stated that,

The force exerted by the dog, F_1 = 32\ N (to the right)

The force exerted by Simone, F_2 = -16\ N (backward)

Here, assume the backward direction is negative and the right direction is positive.

The net force will move in the direction where the larger force is present. The net force can be calculated as:

F=F_1+F_2

F=32+(-16)

F = 16 N

Thus, the net force amounts to 16 N, acting towards the right.
