A stubborn, 100 kgkg mule sits down and refuses to move. To drag the mule to the barn, the exasperated farmer ties a rope around

the mule and pulls with his maximum force of 800 NN . The coefficients of friction between the mule and the ground are μsμsmu_s = 0.80 and μk=0.5μk=0.5.
Is the farmer able to move the mule?

Answer:

No, the farmer is not able to move the mule.

Explanation:

Mass =100 kg

Force=F=800 N

The coefficient between the mule and the ground=\mu_s=0.8

\mu_k=0.5

Static friction force,f=\mu N

Normal force=N=mg

Static friction force,f=\mu_s mg=0.8\times 100\times 9.8=784 N

Using g=9.8m/s^2

F<f

Static friction force is greater than applied force.

Therefore , the farmer is not able to move the mule.

A circuit is supplied with 60 VDC and contains two series resistors with values of 100 and 400 . What is the total current in th
scoundrel [369]

When resistors are connected in series, they act like
a single resistor whose resistance is their sum. 

100 ohms and 400 ohms, connected in series, look like
a single resistor of 500 ohms.

           Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

                        = (60 volts) / (500 ohms) = 0.12 A.

Current is measured by connecting a meter in series
with an energized component.  In other words, a break
is made in the circuit, the meter is connected in the break,
and the current to be measured literally flows through the meter.</span>

For the meter stick shown in figure 10-4, the force F1 10.0 N acts at 10.0 cm. What is the magnitude of torque due to F1 about a
Phantasy [73]

Torque is equal position vector times (r) times force vector (F).  Since F= 10 N and r = 0.1 m, so the torque is equal to (10 N) x ( 0.1 m) = 1Nm. The direction of the torque would be into the screen, clockwise rotation.

Ancient Greek philosophers spent lots of time thinking about science and imaging explanations for the natural world. What part o
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Testing

Explanation:

Ancient Greek philosophers lived with the ideology to simply contemplate life. This means that their whole life revolved around thinking and questioning everything. This would include creative thinking, because they would sometimes come up with theories which require creativeness. They would often debate with their friends as to why their theory should be accepted or what their opinions were on the matter. More often than not, they argued a lot, and many philosophers went against some powerful people in the community and some were even sentenced to death.

The main process they didn't/couldn't do was the testing. They could never test certain theories because they did not have the means to.

A 250 GeV beam of protons is fired over a distance of 1 km. If the initial size of the wave packet is 1 mm, find its final size
Margarita [4]

Answer:

The final size is approximately equal to the initial size due to a very small relative increase of 1.055\times 10^{- 7} in its size

Solution:

As per the question:

The energy of the proton beam, E = 250 GeV =250\times 10^{9}\times 1.6\times 10^{- 19} = 4\times 10^{- 8} J

Distance covered by photon, d = 1 km = 1000 m

Mass of proton, m_{p} = 1.67\times 10^{- 27} kg

The initial size of the wave packet, \Delta t_{o} = 1 mm = 1\times 10^{- 3} m

Now,

This is relativistic in nature

The rest mass energy associated with the proton is given by:

E = m_{p}c^{2}

E = 1.67\times 10^{- 27}\times (3\times 10^{8})^{2} = 1.503\times 10^{- 10} J

This energy of proton is \simeq 250 GeV

Thus the speed of the proton, v\simeq c

Now, the time taken to cover 1 km = 1000 m of the distance:

T = \frac{1000}{v}

T = \frac{1000}{c} = \frac{1000}{3\times 10^{8}} = 3.34\times 10^{- 6} s

Now, in accordance to the dispersion factor;

\frac{\delta t_{o}}{\Delta t_{o}} = \frac{ht_{o}}{2\pi m_{p}\Delta t_{o}^{2}}

\frac{\delta t_{o}}{\Delta t_{o}} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}\times 3.34\times 10^{- 6}}{2\pi 1.67\times 10^{- 27}\times (10^{- 3})^{2} = 1.055\times 10^{- 7}

Thus the increase in wave packet's width is relatively quite small.

Hence, we can say that:

\Delta t_{o} = \Delta t

where

\Delta t = final width
