The fundamental force responsible for the cohesion of the water molecules leaving the faucet is the electromagnetic force.
Electromagnetic forces act on particles that are electrically charged. Water molecules are polar, which means that they have a positively charged end and a negatively charged end. This polarity arises from the fact that oxygen pulls the electrons in the molecule towards itself and attains a negative charge, while the hydrogen atoms in the molecules are left with a positive charge.

A 5⁢kg object is released from rest near the surface of a planet such that its gravitational field is considered to be constant.
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The gravitational force exerted on the object is 75 N (answer D)

Explanation:

Hi there!

The gravitational force is calculated as follows:

F = m · g

Where:

F = force of gravity.

m = mass of the object.

g = acceleration due to gravity (unknown).

For a falling object moving in a straight line, its height at a given time can be calculated using the following equation:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

y = position at time t.

y0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference at the point where the object is released so that y0 = 0. Let´s also consider the downward direction as negative.

Then, after 2 seconds, the height of the object will be -30 m:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

-30 m = 0 m + 0 m/s · 2 s + 1/2 · g · (2 s)²

-30 m = 1/2 · g · 4 s²

-30 m = 2 s ² · g

-30 m/2 s² = g

g = -15 m/s²

Then, the magnitude of the gravitational force will be:

F = m · g

F = 5 kg · 15 m/s²

F = 75 N

The gravitational force exerted on the object is 75 N (answer D)

Have a nice day!

A chair of mass 12.0 kg is sitting on the horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force F
Tanya [424]

Answer: Normal force, N = 141.64 Newton

Explanation:

All the forces acting on the system and described in free body diagram  are:

1) gravitational pull in downward direction  

2) Normal force in upward direction

3) External force of 40 N acting at an angle of 37° with the horizontal can be resolved in two rectangular components:

  i) F Cos 37° along the horizontal plane  in forward direction and

  ii) F Sin 37° along the vertical plane in downward direction

Applying the Newton's second law, net forces in the vertical plane are:

Net force, f = N - (mg + F Sin 37°)

As there is no acceleration in the vertical plane hence, net force f = 0.

So,

N - (mg + F Sin 37°) = 0

Adding (mg + F Sin 37°) both the sides in above equation, we get

N = mg + F Sin 37°

N = 12 \times 9.8 + 40 \times 0.601      because (Sin 37° = 0.601)

N = 117.6 + 24.04

N = 141.64 Newton

Consider a star that is a sphere with a radius of 6.32 108 m and an average surface temperature of 5350 K. Determine the amount
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The value is  \Delta s  = 8.537 *10^{25 } \ J/K

Explanation:

From the we are told that

   The radius of the sphere is r =  6.32 *10^{8} \  m

   The temperature is T_x  =  5350 \  K

    The average temperature of the rest of the universe is  T_r  =  2.73 \  K

Generally the change in entropy of the entire universe per second is mathematically represented as

         \Delta s  =  s_r - s_x

Here s_r is the entropy of the rest of the universe which is mathematically represented as

          s_r =  \frac{Q}{T_r}

Here Q is the quantity of heat radiated by the star which is mathematically represented as

           Q =  4 \pi *  r^2 *  \sigma * T^4_x

Here \sigma is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant with value  

           \sigma =  5.67 * 10^{-8 }W\cdot  m^{-2} \cdot  K^{-4}.

=>         Q =  4 \pi *  (6.32*10^{8})^2 *  5.67 * 10^{-8 }  * 5350 ^4

=>         Q =  2.332 *10^{26} \  J

So

      s_r =  \frac{2.332 *10^{26}}{2.73}

=>   s_r =  8.5415 *10^{25}\  J/K

Here s_x is the entropy of the rest of the universe which is mathematically represented as

      s_x =  \frac{Q}{T_x}

=>   s_x =  \frac{2.332 *10^{26} }{5350}

=>   s_x =  4.359 *10^{22} \  J/K

So

      \Delta s  = 8.5415 *10^{25}  - 4.359 *10^{22}

=>   \Delta s  = 8.537 *10^{25 } \ J/K

A thin layer of oil with index of refraction no = 1.47 is floating above the water. The index of refraction of water is nw = 1.3
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

A thin layer of oil with index of refraction ng = 1.47 is floating above the water. The index of refraction of water is nw = 1.3. The index of refraction of air is na= 1. A light with wavelength λ = 775 nm goes in from the air to oil and water.

 Part (a) Express the wavelength of the light in the oil,  λ₀, in terms of  λ  and n⁰ (b) Express the minimum thickness of the film that will result in destructive interference, t min, in terms of  λ o

(c) Express tmin in terms of  λ  and no.

(d) Solve for the numerical value of tmin in nm.

Explanation:

n₀ = 1.47

refraction of water = 1.3

refraction of air = 1

wavelength λ = 775 nm

(a) wavelength of light in water ⇒  λ₀ = λ / n₀

(b) minimum thickness of the film that will result in destructive interference

t(min) = λ₀ / 2

(c) the express t(min)

t =  λ /2n₀

(d) the thickness is

t = 775 / 2(1.47)

= 263.61 nm

A wire of 1mm diameter and 1m long fixed at one end is stretched by 0.01mm when a lend of 10 kg is attached to its free end.calc
Otrada [13]

Answer:

E = 1.25×10¹³ N/m²

Explanation:

Young's modulus is defined as:

E = stress / strain

E = (F / A) / (dL / L)

E = (F L) / (A dL)

Given:

F = 10 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 98 N

L = 1 m

dL = 10⁻⁵ m

A = π/4 (0.001 m)² = 7.85×10⁻⁷ m²

Solve:

E = (98 N × 1 m) / (7.85×10⁻⁷ m² × 10⁻⁵ m)

E = 1.25×10¹³ N/m²

Round as needed.
