Benjamin Franklin has convinced his hapless assistant Mike Piepan to participate in an experiment on electiricty. Ben has set up

lightning rod, the rod of which extends into his laboratory. MIke is suspended from the ceiling by an insulating rope. To one side of Mike is the end of end of the lightning rod, on the other side is a metal rod that is "grounded" (i.e. conducts electricity into the Earth, especially a "charge dump"). A bolt of lightning strikes the rod, giving it an enormous quantity of excess negative charge. Assuming tht no charge leaps through the air in the lab, explain in as much details as possible, what you think will happen to poor Mr. Piepan?

Answer:

Mike will receive an electric shock

Explanation:

Human body is a conductor of electricity. When lightning strikes rod and give it negative charge, the rod will dissipate its charge as soon as it comes in contact with earth via conduting material. Mike will receive a severe electric shock as negatice charge pass through his body to other rod and to the ground.His body will feel numb. He may also get unconscious.

A man pushes his child in a grocery cart. The total mass of the cart and child is 30.0 kg. If the force resisting the carts moti
-BARSIC- [3]

The force applied by the man is 60 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's second law, which states that:

\sum F = ma (1)

where

\sum F is the net force acting on the child+cart

m is the mass of the child+cart system

a is their acceleration

In this problem, we have:

m = 30.0 kg is the mass

a=1.50 m/s^2

And there are two forces acting on the child+cart system:

  • The forward force of pushing, F
  • The force resisting the cart motion, R = 15.0 N

Therefore we can write the net force as

\sum F = F -R

where R is negative since its direction is opposite to the motion

So eq.(1) can be rewritten as

F-R=ma

And solving for F,

F=ma+R=(30.0)(1.50)+15.0=60 N

An inline skater skates on a circular track 120.0 m in diameter at a tangential speed of 9.20 m/s. If the skater’s mass is 68.5
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

The centripetal force acting on the skater is <u>48.32 N.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of circular track is, R=120.0\ m

Tangential speed of the skater is, v=9.20\ m/s

Mass of the skater is, m=68.5\ kg

We are asked to find the centripetal force acting on the skater.

We know that, when an object is under circular motion, the force acting on the object is directly proportional to the mass and square of tangential speed and inversely proportional to the radius of the circular path. This force is called centripetal force.

Centripetal force acting on the skater is given as:

F_c=\frac{mv^2}{R}

Now, plug in the given values of the known quantities and solve for centripetal force, F_c. This gives,

F_c=\frac{68.5\times (9.20)^2}{120.0}\\\\F_c=\frac{68.5\times 84.64}{120}\\\\F_c=\frac{5797.84}{120}\\\\F_c=48.32\ N

Therefore, the centripetal force acting on the skater is 48.32 N.

This problem explores the behavior of charge on conductors. We take as an example a long conducting rod suspended by insulating
Olegator [25]

Answer:

rod end A is strongly attracted towards the balls

rod end B is weakly repelled by the ball as it is at a greater distance

Explanation:

When the ball with a negative charge approaches the A end of the neutral bar, the charge of the same sign will repel and as they move they move to the left end, leaving the rod with a positive charge at the A end and a negative charge of equal value at end B.

Therefore rod end A is strongly attracted towards the balls and

rod end B is weakly repelled by the ball as it is at a greater distance

A force of 6.0 N pulls a box 0.40 m along a frictionless plane that is inclined at 36°. What work is being done by the pulling f
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Expression of work done is

W = Fd cos\theta

Work done to move the sled is given as 1.94 J

Explanation:

As we know that the formula of work done is given as

W = Fd cos\theta

here we know that

F = 6 N

d = 0.4 m

\theta = 36 degree

so we will have

W = 6 \times 0.4 cos36

W = 1.94 J

A single crystal of aluminum is oriented for a tensile test such that its slip plane normal makes angle of 28.1 with the tensil
NISA [10]

Answer:

we have to find out the critical resolved shear stress. As it it given in the question

Ф = 28.1°and the possible values for λ are 62.4°, 72.0° and 81.1°.

a) Slip will occur in the direction where cosФ cosλ are maximum. Cosine for all possible λ values are given as follows.

cos(62.4°) = 0.46

cos(72.0°) = 0.31

cos(81.1°) = 0.15

Thus, the slip direction is at the angle of 62.4° along the tensile axis.

b) now the critical resolved shear stress can be find out by the following equation.

τ_{crss} = σ_{Y} ( cosФ cosλ)_{max}

now by putting values,

     = (1.95MPa)[ cos(28.1) cos(62.4)] = 0.80 MPa (114 Psi) 7.23
