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.

A spaceship is travelling at 20,000.0 m/s. After 5.0 seconds, the rocket thrusters are turned on. At the 55.0 second mark, the s
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

80 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval it takes for the velocity to change from u to v

For the rocket in this problem,

u = 20,000 m/s

v = 24,000 m/s

t = 55.0 - 5.0 = 50.0 s

Substituting,

a=\frac{24000-20000}{50}=80 m/s^2

Juan and Kuri are on a carousel. Juan is closer to the center of the carousel than Kuri. Which statement describes their tangent
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Juan and Kuri complete one revolution in the same time, but Juan travels a shorter distance and has a lower speed.

Explanation:

Since Juan is closer to the center and Kuri is away from the center so we can say that Juan will move smaller distance in one complete revolution

As we know that the distance moved in one revolution is given as

d = 2\pi r

also the time period of revolution for both will remain same as they move with the time period of carousel

Now we can say that the speed is given as

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

so Juan will have less tangential speed. so correct answer will be

Juan and Kuri complete one revolution in the same time, but Juan travels a shorter distance and has a lower speed.

Two identical horizontal sheets of glass have a thin film of air of thickness t between them. The glass has refractive index 1.4
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm

the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm

Explanation:

From the question; the path difference is Δx = 2t  (since the condition of the phase difference in the maxima and minima gets interchanged)

Now for constructive interference;

Δx= (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)

replacing ;

Δx = 2t   ; we have:

2t = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)

Given that thickness t = 700 nm

Then

2× 700 = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)     --- equation (1)

For thickness t = 980 nm that is next to constructive interference

2× 980 = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)     ----- equation (2)

Equating the difference of equation (2) and equation (1); we have:'

λ = (2 × 980) - ( 2× 700 )

λ = 1960 - 1400

λ = 560 nm

Thus;  the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm

b)  

For the smallest thickness t_{min} ; \ \ \ m =0

∴ 2t_{min} =\frac{\lambda}{2}

t_{min} =\frac{\lambda}{4}

t_{min} =\frac{560}{4}

t_{min} =140 \ \  nm

Thus, the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm

An air-track cart with mass m1=0.28kg and initial speed v0=0.75m/s collides with and sticks to a second cart that is at rest ini
arsen [322]
Kinetic energy is calculated through the equation,

   KE = 0.5mv²

At initial conditions,

  m₁:  KE = 0.5(0.28 kg)(0.75 m/s)² = 0.07875 J

  m₂ : KE = 0.5(0.45 kg)(0 m/s)² = 0 J

Due to the momentum balance,

   m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)(V)

Substituting the known values,

   (0.29 kg)(0.75 m/s) + (0.43 kg)(0 m/s) = (0.28 kg + 0.43 kg)(V)

   V = 0.2977 m/s

The kinetic energy is,
   KE = (0.5)(0.28 kg + 0.43 kg)(0.2977 m/s)²
   KE = 0.03146 J

The difference between the kinetic energies is 0.0473 J.
