Answer:
F equals 3 N and the object remains stationary. (second option in the list)
Explanation:
For sure to cancel acting forces, F must be 3N pointing up. But with regards to the object stationary or not, the question is tricky. We could have a ZERO net force applied, and the object moving at constant speed, which could still verify Newton's Laws. But considering the first answer option that refers to vertical motion upward where the object could be gaining potential energy, the most accurate response is that the force F has to be 3 N pointing up to make the object in equilibrium, and no motion in the vertical axis.
Answer: F equals 3 N and the object remains stationary.
Explanation:
A small compass is held horizontally, the center of its needle has a distance of 0.270 m directly north
of a long wire that is perpendicular to the Earth's surface. When there is no current in the wire, the
compass needle points due north, which is the direction of the horizontal component of the Earth's
magnetic field at that location. This component is parallel to the Earth's surface. When the current in
the wire is 26.3 A, the needle points 22.9∘ east of north.
(a) Does the current in the wire flow toward or away from the Earth's surface? ( 2 marks)
(b) What is the magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field at the location of
the compass? (3 marks)
Answer:
Explanation:
The needle is showing north south direction . when current starts flowing in the wire which is held vertical to the ground , it deflects towards east .
a )
Therefore a magnetic field towards east has been created . It is possible only if current flows towards the surface in the vertical wire .
b )
magnetic field created at the magnetic needle B = 10⁻⁷ x 2I / d where I is current and d is distance .
B = 10⁻⁷ x 2 x 26.3 / .27
= 194.81 x 10⁻⁷ T
angle of deflection of solenoid = 22.9°
Tan 22.9 = B /H
.422 = 194.81 x 10⁻⁷ / H
H = 461.63 x 10⁻⁷ T
= .46 x 10⁻⁴ T .
A) The current in the wire flows towards the Earth's surface
B) The magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is : 0.46 x 10⁻⁴ T
A) The compass needle held horizontally points in a North-south direction of the earth and also deflects eastwards when current is allowed to flow through it. The deflection of the needle indicates the presence/generation of a magnetic field on the earth surface. which is facilitated by the flow of the current in the wire towards the Earth's surface
B) Determine The magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field
B ( magnetic field ) = 10⁻⁷ * 2I / d ---- ( 1 )
where : l = 26.3 A, d = 0.27 m
Back to equation ( 1 )
B = 10⁻⁷ * 2 * 26.3 / 0.27
= 194.81 * 10⁻⁷ T
Final step : Calculate the magnitude of horizontal component ( H )
Tan ∅ = B / H ---- ( 2 )
where : ∅ ( angle of deflection ) = 22.9°
∴ H = B / Tan ( 22.9° )
= ( 194.81 * 10⁻⁷ ) / 0.422
= 0.46 x 10⁻⁴ T
Hence we can conclude that The current in the wire flows towards the Earth's surface and The magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is : 0.46 x 10⁻⁴ T

A Navy Seal of mass 80 kg parachuted directly down into an enemy harbor. At one point while she was falling, the resistive force that air exerted on her was 520 N upward. What can you determine about her motion at this point in time
Answer:
The Navy Seal is accelerating downwards at the rate of 3.3 m/s²
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the Navy Seal, m = 80 kg
the upward resistive force on her, F = 520 N
Her net downward force is given by;
[tex]F_{net} = F_{down} - F_{up}\\\\F_{net} = (80*9.8) - 520\\\\F_{net} = 264 \ N[/tex]
Her downward acceleration at this time is given by;
F = ma
a = F / m
a = 264 / 80
a = 3.3 m/s²
Therefore, the Navy Seal is accelerating downwards at the rate of 3.3 m/s²

If a car is traveling at an average speed of 70 kilometers per hour how long does it take the car to travel 14 kilometers
Answer:
Explanation:
O.20 hour A
If a car is traveling at an average speed of 70 kilometers per hour, 0.2 hours it takes the car to travel 14 kilometers.
What is average speed?By multiplying the distance that an item travels in one unit by the amount of time it takes to go that distance, one may determine the speed of the object. The speed of the item on this voyage, denoted by the letter "s," is equal to s = D/T if "D" is indeed the distance traveled in certain time "T."
Understanding average speed will help you better comprehend the pace of a travel. On a travel, the pace could occasionally change. Knowing the average speed then becomes crucial to getting an idea of how quickly the route will be finished.
Distance covered = average speed × Time travelled
14=70× Time travelled
Time travelled = 0.2 hours
Therefore, 0.2 hours it takes the car to travel 14 kilometers.

A velocity selector uses a fixed electric field of magnitude E and the magnetic field is varied to select particles of various energies. If the electric field strength is 2.2 x 104 N/C, what should be the value of the magnetic field (in tesla) to select protons of velocity 6.4 x 105 m/s
Answer:
The value is [tex]B = 0.034 \ T [/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The electric field strength is [tex]E = 2.2*10^{4} \ N/C[/tex]
The velocity is [tex]v = 6.4 *10^{5} \ m/s[/tex]
Generally the magnetic field is mathematically represented as
[tex]B = \frac{E}{v}[/tex]

=> [tex]B = 0.034 \ T [/tex]
Two equal forces act on two different objects, one of which has a mass ten times as large as the other. The larger object will have _________ acceleration that the less massive object.
Answer:
The larger object will have smaller acceleration that the less massive object.
Explanation:
Generally force is mathematically represented as
[tex]F = ma[/tex]
=> [tex]m = \frac{F}{a }[/tex]
at constant force we have
[tex]m \ \alpha \ \frac{1}{a}[/tex]
So if m is increasing a will be decreasing which means the object with the larger mass will have less acceleration
A lamp of mass m hangs from a spring scale which is attached to the ceiling of an elevator. When the elevator is stopped at the fortieth floor, the scale reads mg. What does it read as the elevator slows down to stop at the ground floor?
a. more than mg
b. mg
c. less than mg
d. zero
e. can't tell
Answer:
The correct answer is (a)
Explanation:
A spring scale measures the weight of an object not the mass because according to hooke's law the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the load or force attached/applied to it. The force of gravity acting on the mass of any substance as it goes up actually reduces and increases as it comes down.
If F = ma, as a increases, F will also increase and vice versa
Where F = force
m = mass
a = acceleration (due to gravity in this case)
From the above explanation, it can be deduced that the scale will read more than mg as it gets to the ground because of an increase in the force of gravity (which also increases a) as it approaches the ground.
While making some observations at the top of the 66 m tall Astronomy tower, Ron
accidently knocks a 0.5 kg stone over the edge. How long will a student at the bottom
have to get out of the way before being hit?
Analysing the question:
Since the stone was dropped, there was no initial velocity applied on it and hence it's initial velocity of the stone is 0 m/s
We are given:
height of the tower (h) = 66 m
mass of the stone (m) = 0.5 kg
initial velocity of the stone (u) = 0 m/s
time taken by the stone to reach the ground (t) = t seconds
acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²
** Neglecting air resistance**
Finding the time taken by the stone to reach the ground:
from the second equation of motion
h = ut + 1/2at²
replacing the variables
66 = (0)(t) + 1/2 (10)(t)²
66 = 5t²
t² = 13.2
t = 3.6 seconds
I initially wanted to subtract the height of the student from the height of the tower since the time i calculated is the time taken by the stone to reach the ground and that means that the stone has already hit the student before 3.6 seconds
but since we were NOT given the height of a student, the person who posed this question wants the time taken by the stone to reach the ground and that is what we solved
A coin rests on a record 0.15 m from its center. The record turns on a turntable that rotates at variable speed. The coefficient of static friction between the coin and the record is 0.30.
Required:
What is the maximum coin speed at which it does not slip?
Answer:
0.66m/sExplanation:
We are expected to solve for the velocity with no slip condition
we know that the expression that relate coefficient of friction and velocity is given as
μs = v^2/rg
Given
coefficient of friction μs = 0.3
radius r= 0.15
assume g=9.81m/s^2
substituting into the expression we have
0.3= v^2/0.15*9.81
v^2=0.3*0.15*9.81
v^2=0.44145
v=√0.44145
v=0.66
therefore the velocity is 0.66m/s

The emf of the battery is 1.5 V. In Nichrome there are 9 × 1028 mobile electrons per m3, and the mobility of mobile electrons is 7 × 10−5 (m/s)/(N/C). Each thick wire has length 29 cm = 0.29 m and cross-sectional area 9 × 10−8 m2. The thin wire has length 6 cm = 0.06 m and cross-sectional area 1.3 × 10−8 m2. (The total length of the three wires is 64 cm.) In the steady state, calculate the number of electrons entering the thin wire every second. Do not make any approximations, and do not use Ohm's law or series-resistance equations.
Answer:
The number of electrons entering the thin wire every second is 1.75 x 10⁻³ mobile electrons / second
Explanation:
Given;
emf of the battery, V = 1.5 V
electron density, = 9 × 10²⁸ mobile electrons per m³
mobility of electron, u = 7 × 10⁻⁵ (m/s)/(N/C)
length of thin wire, L = 6 cm = 0.06 m
cross sectional area of the thin wire, A = 1.3 x 10⁻⁸ m²
The magnitude of the electric field in the thin wire is given by;
E = V/L
E = (1.5) / (0.06)
E = 25 N/C
the number of electrons entering the thin wire every second is given by;
[tex]e/s = mobility \ x \ Electric \ field\\\\number \ of \ electrons \ per \ second =\frac{7*10^{-5} (m/s)}{N/C} *25 (N/C)\\\\number \ of \ electrons \ per \ second = 1.75*10^{-3} \ m/s[/tex]
Therefore, the number of electrons entering the thin wire every second is 1.75 x 10⁻³ mobile electrons / second
The number of electrons entering the thin wire every second is 1.75 x 10⁻³ mobile electrons / second
Calculation of the number of electrons:Since
emf of the battery, V = 1.5 V
electron density, = 9 × 10²⁸ mobile electrons per m³
mobility of electron, u = 7 × 10⁻⁵ (m/s)/(N/C)
length of thin wire, L = 6 cm = 0.06 m
cross sectional area of the thin wire, A = 1.3 x 10⁻⁸ m²
So here the magnitude should be
E = V/L
E = (1.5) / (0.06)
E = 25 N/C
Now the number of electrons should be
= 7 × 10⁻⁵ *25
= 1.75 x 10⁻³ mobile
hence, The number of electrons entering the thin wire every second is 1.75 x 10⁻³ mobile electrons / second

A sharpshooter fires a 0.22 caliber rifle horizontally at 100 m/s at a target 75m away. How far does the
bullet drop by the time it reaches the target?
This question involves the concept of semi-projectile motion. It can be solved using the equations of motion in the horizontal and the vertical motion.
The bullet drops "2.76 m" by the time it reaches the target.
First, we will analyze the horizontal motion. We assume no air resistance, so the horizontal motion will be uniform. Hence, using the equation of uniform motion here to find the total time to reach the target:
[tex]s = vt\\\\t = \frac{s}{v}[/tex]
where,
s = distance = 75 m
v = velocity = 100 m/s
t = time = ?
Therefore,
[tex]t = \frac{75\ m}{100\ m/s}[/tex]
t = 0.75 s
Now, we will analyze the vertical motion of the bullet. We will use the second equation of motion in the vertical direction to find the height dropped by the bullet.
[tex]h = v_it+\frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]
where,
h = height dropped = ?
vi = initial vertical speed = 0 m/s
t = time interval = 0.75 s
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
therefore,
[tex]h = (0\ m/s)(0.75\ s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.81\ m/s^2)(0.75\ s)^2[/tex]
h = 2.76 m

. Suppose you walk 18.0 m straight west and then 25.0 m straight north. How far are you from your starting point? What is your displacement vector? What is the direction of your displacement? Assume the +x-axis is to the east.
Answer:
Explanation:
The total distance is how far you walk from the starting point.
Distance through west = 18.0m
Distance through north = 25.0m
Total distance covered = 18.0+25.0m
Total distance covered = 43.0m
This means that I am 43.0m from the starting point
Displacement is the distance covered in a specified direction. The displacement will be gotten using the Pythagoras theorem as shown:
[tex]d^2 = 25^2 + 18^2\\d^2 = 625+324\\d^2 = 949\\d = \sqrt{949}\\ d = 30.81m[/tex]
The direction of your displacement is 30.81m
Direction is gotten according to the formula;
[tex]\theta = tan ^{-1}{\frac{y}{x} }\\\theta = tan ^{-1}{\frac{25}{-18} }\\\theta = tan ^{-1}-1.3889}\\\theta = -60.27^0\\\theta = 180-60.27\\\theta = 119.7^0[/tex]
Note that the direction to the west is negative, that is why the x is -18.0m
The distance from the starting point is 43 m, the displacement vector is 30.81 m and the direction of the displacement is 119.7 degrees.
Given-
Distance travel through the west is 18 m.
Distance travel through the north is 25 m.
Distance from starting point-
To know the total distance, add both the covered distance. Thus total distance x is,
[tex]x=18+25[/tex]
[tex]x=43[/tex]
Hence, the distance from the starting point is 43 m.
The displacement vector-
Displacement is calculated as the shortest distance between starting and final point. This shortest distance can be calculated using the Pythagoras theorem which states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse [tex]d[/tex] is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Therefore,
[tex]d^2=18^2+25^2[/tex]
[tex]d^2=324+625[/tex]
[tex]d^2=949[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{949}[/tex]
[tex]d=30.81[/tex]
The displacement vector is 30.81 m.
The Direction of displacement-The direction of displacement [tex]\theta[/tex] with these two sides can be calculated with the formula,
[tex]\theta=tan^{-1}\dfrac{25}{-18}[/tex]
Here due to the west direction(opposite side), the sign is taken negatively.
[tex]\theta=tan^{-1}(-1.389)[/tex]
[tex]\theta=-60.27^o[/tex]
For the other quarter,
[tex]\theta=180-60.27=119.7^o[/tex]
Hence, the distance from the starting point is 43 m, the displacement vector is 30.81 m and the direction of the displacement is 119.7 degrees.

[tex]\sum Fx = ma\\\\\sum Fx = 1061 - 915\\\\\sum Fx = 146N[/tex]
m is the mas of the sky diver = 93.4kg
a is the acceleration of the skydiver
From the formula above;
[tex]a = \frac{\sum Fx}{m}\\ \\a = \frac{146}{93.4}\\\\a = 1.563m/s^2[/tex]
Hence the acceleration of the sky diver is 1.563m/s²
Two students measured the length of the same stick, each using a different 30 cm ruler. One student reported a length of 22 cm, and the other reported a length of 8 cm. The most likely explanation for the difference in the reported values is that one —
A. *student improperly read the ruler
B. ruler was metal and the other ruler was plastic
C. student viewed the ruler from a different angle
D. ruler was constructed with nonstandard cm marks
Answer:
C. student viewed the ruler from a different angle
Explanation:
It is the problem of viewing the scale from different sides or angles. If we assume the actual length of the stick to be 22 cm. Then the first student measured the length by reading the values from 1 cm towards 22 cm on the scale. While, the second student measured the length of the stick by reading the values from the other side or the other angle of the scale, that is, from 30 cm mark towards 1 cm. And in that case the the length of the 22 cm long stick will appear as:
30 cm - 22 cm = 8 cm
Therefore, the second student read 8 cm on scale. So, the correct option is:
C. student viewed the ruler from a different angle
