A man attempts to pick up his suitcase of weight w_s by pulling straight up on the handle. (Part A figure) However, he is unable

to lift the suitcase from the floor. Which statement about the magnitude of the normal force n acting on the suitcase is true during the time that the man pulls upward on the suitcase?
A. The magnitude of the normal force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the suitcase.
B. The magnitude of the normal force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the suitcase minus the magnitude of the force of the pull.
C. The magnitude of the normal force is equal to the sum of the magnitude of the force of the pull and the magnitude of the suitcase's weight.
D. The magnitude of the normal force is greater than the magnitude of the weight of the suitcase

Now assume that the man of weight w_m is tired and decides to sit on his suitcase. (Part B figure) Which statement about the magnitude of the normal force n acting on the suitcase is true during the time that the man is sitting on the suitcase?

Answer:

Part A. The magnitude of the normal force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the suitcase minus the magnitude of the force of the pull.

Part B. The magnitude of normal force acting on the suitcase is equal to the sum of the weight of the suitcase and the man.

Explanation:

Part A. This is because when the man pulls on the suit upwards, he exerts a force in the upward direction. This takes part of the force of weight of the suitcase and decreases the force the suitcase is exerting on the ground. Thus, the normal force (force exerted by suitcase on the ground) also decreases by the same force as the pull.

Part B. The statements for this part were not given in the question, but the answer reflects what is going to happen in that scenario. Since the man sits on the suitcase, the total weight acting on the ground through the suitcase is that of the suitcase plus the man. Since this force (acting on the ground) is normal force, the statement given in the answer is correct.

Suppose that a sound source is emitting waves uniformly in all directions. If you move to a point twice as far away from the sou
Helen [10]

Answer:

<em>d. unchanged.</em>

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is dependent on the speed of the wave and the wavelength of the wave. The frequency is characteristic for a wave, and does not change with distance. This is unlike the amplitude which determines the intensity, which decreases with distance.

In a wave, the velocity of propagation of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency. The speed of sound does not change with distance, except when entering from one medium to another, and we can see from

v = fλ

that the frequency is tied to the wave, and does not change throughout the waveform.

where v is the speed of the sound wave

f is the frequency

λ is the wavelength of the sound wave.

Compared to the resistivity of a 0.4-meter length of 1-millimeter-diameter copper wire at 0 degrees Celsius, the resistivity of
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Resistivity of both wires are same

Explanation:

Length of one wire,l_1=0.4 m

Diameter,d_1=1mm

Radius,r_1=\frac{d_1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}mm=0.5\times 10^{-3} m

1mm=10^{-3} m

l_2=0.8 m

d_2=1mm

r_2=0.5\times 10^{-3} m

Temperature in each case is same.

Area of each wire,A_1=A_2=A=\pi r^2=\pi (0.5\times 10^{-3})^2m^2

Resistivity is the property of material due to which it offers resistance to the flow of current.

Resistivity of material depends upon the temperature and material by which it is made.

It does not depends upon the length of object.

Therefore, the resistivity of both wires of different length  are same.

An astronomer observes that the wavelength of light from a distant star is shifted toward the red part of the visible spectrum.
balandron [24]

Answer:

The distance between the earth and the star is increasing.

Explanation:

When we observe an object and its electromagnetic radiation has been displaced to blue, it means that it is getting closer to us, causing the light waves it emits to get closer together and its wavelength to decrease towards blue, this is knowm as blueshift.

On the contrary, when an object is rapidly moving away from us, the light waves or electromagnetic radiation it emits have been stretched from their normal wavelength to a longer wavelength, towards the red part of the spectrum. This is known as redshift.

This phenomenon of changes in wavelength and frequency due to movement (whether the source approaches or moves away) is described by the Doppler effect.

So for this case because the light we perceive from the star has moved to the red part of the visible spectrum, we can conclude that it is moving away from the earth, and that the distance between the star and the earth is increasing.

A particular material has an index of refraction of 1.25. What percent of the speed of light in a vacuum is the speed of light i
beks73 [17]

Answer:

80% (Eighty percent)

Explanation:

The material has a refractive index (n) of 1.25

Speed of light in a vacuum (c) is 2.99792458 x 10⁸  m/s

We can find the speed of light in the material (v) using the relationship

n = c/v, similarly

v = c/n

therefore v = 2.99792458 x 10⁸  m/s ÷ (1.25) = 239 833 966 m/s

v = 239 833 966 m/s

Therefore the percentage of the speed of light in a vacuum that is the speed of light in the material can be calculated as

(v/c) × 100 = (1/n) × 100 = (1/1.25) × 100 = 0.8 × 100 = 80%

Therefore speed of light in the material (v) is eighty percent of the speed of light in the vacuum (c)

Two hockey players skating on essentially frictionless ice collide head-on. Madeleine, of mass 65.0 kg, is moving at 6.00 m/s to
xeze [42]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Madeleine, m_1=65\ kg

Initial speed of Madeleine, u_1=6\ m/s (due east)

Final speed of Madeleine, v_1=-3\ m/s (due west)

Mass of Buffy, m_2=55\ kg

Final speed of Buffy, v_2=3.5\ m/s (due east)

Let u_1 is the Buffy's velocity just before the collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

65\times 6+55\times u_2=65\times (-3)+55\times 3.5

u_2=-7.13\ m/s

So, the initial speed of the Buffy just before the collision is 7.13 m/s and it is moving due west. Hence, this is the required solution.
