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.

Answer:

circuit sketched in first attached image.

Second attached image is for calculating the equivalent output resistance

Explanation:

For calculating the output voltage with regarding the first image.

Vout = Vin \frac{R_{2}}{R_{2}+R_{1}}

Vout = 5 \frac{2000}{5000}[/[tex][tex]Vout = 5 \frac{2000}{5000}\\Vout = 5 \frac{2}{5} = 2 V

For the calculus of the equivalent output resistance we apply thevenin, the voltage source is short and current sources are open circuit, resulting in the second image.

so.

R_{out} = R_{2} || R_{1}\\R_{out} = 2000||3000 = \frac{2000*3000}{2000+3000} = 1200

Taking into account the %5 tolerance, with the minimal bound for Voltage and resistance.  

if the -5% is applied to both resistors the Voltage is still 5V because the quotient  has 5% / 5% so it cancels. to be more logic it applies the 5% just to one resistor, the resistor in this case we choose 2k but the essential is to show that the resistors usually don't have the same value. applying to the 2k resistor we have:

Vout = 5 \frac{1900}{4900}\\Vout = 5 \frac{19}{49} = 1.93 V

Vout = 5 \frac{2100}{5100}\\Vout = 5 \frac{21}{51} = 2.05 V

R_{out} = R_{2} || R_{1}\\R_{out} = 1900||2850= \frac{1900*2850}{1900+2850} = 1140

R_{out} = R_{2} || R_{1}\\R_{out} = 2100||3150 = \frac{2100*3150 }{2100+3150 } = 1260

so.

V_{out} = {1.93,2.05}V\\R_{1} = {1900,2100}\\R_{2} = {2850,3150}\\R_{out} = {1140,1260}

A system contains a perfectly elastic spring, with an unstretched length of 20 cm and a spring constant of 4 N/cm.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

a) When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is

0.18 J

b) When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated using the following equation:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = stretched lenght.

Let´s calculate the elastic potential energy of the spring when it is stretched 3 cm (0.03 m).

First, let´s convert the spring constant units into N/m:

4 N/cm · 100 cm/m = 400 N/m

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.03 m)²

EPE = 0.18 J

When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.18 J

b) Now let´s calculate the elastic potential energy when the spring is stretched 0.06 m:

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.06 m)²

EPE = 0.72 J

When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J

A toroidal solenoid has an inner radius of 12.0 cm and an outer radius of 15.0 cm . It carries a current of 1.50 A . Part A How
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The number of turns is  N  = 1750 \ turns

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The inner radius is r_i =  12.0 \  cm  =  0.12 \  m

   The outer radius is  r_o =  15.0 \  cm  =  0.15 \  m

   The current it carries is I =  1.50 \  A

    The magnetic field is  B  =   3.75 mT = 3.75 *10^{-3} \  T

   The distance from the center is d =  14.0 \ cm  =  0.14 \  m

Generally the number of turns is mathematically represented as

    N  =  \frac{2 *  \pi  * d  *  B}{ \mu_o *  r_o }

Generally  \mu_o is the permeability of free space with value  

    \mu_o  =  4\pi * 10^{-7} \ N/A^2

So

  N  =  \frac{2 *  3.142   * 0.14 *  3.75 *10^{-3} }{ 4\pi * 10^{-7}  * 0.15  }

  N  = 1750 \ turns

About 65 million years ago an asteroid struck Earth in the area of the Yucatán Peninsula and wiped out the dinosaurs and many ot
9966 [12]

Answer:

2.44156\times 10^{13}\ m^3

29010.53917 m

Explanation:

\rho = Density of asteroid = 2 g/cm³

V = Volume

d = Diameter = 10 km

r = Radius = \dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{10}{2}=5\ km

v = Velocity = 11 km/s

H_v = Heat vaporization of water = 2.26\times 10^6\ J/kg

\Delta T = Change in temperature = 100-20

Mass is given by

m=\rho V\\\Rightarrow m=\rho\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\Rightarrow m=2000\dfrac{4}{3}\times \pi\times 5000^3\\\Rightarrow m=1.0472\times 10^{15}\ kg

The kinetic energy is

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}1.0472\times 10^{15}\times 11000^2\\\Rightarrow K=6.33556\times 10^{22}\ J

Heat is given by

Q=mc\Delta T+mH_v\\\Rightarrow 6.33556\times 10^{22}=m\times (4186\times (100-20)+2.26\times 10^6)\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{ 6.33556\times 10^{22}}{4186\times (100-20)+2.26\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow m=2.44156\times 10^{16}\ kg

Mass of water is 2.44156\times 10^{16}\ kg

Volume is \dfrac{2.44156\times 10^{16}}{10^3}=2.44156\times 10^{13}\ m^3

Amount of water is 2.44156\times 10^{13}\ m^3

If it were a cube

h=V^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow h=(2.44156\times 10^{13})^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow h=29010.53917\ m

The height of the water would be 29010.53917 m
