Refer to the diagram shown below.

When an athlete is in motion, he/she exerts a vertical force (the person's weight, W) on the ground. The ground exerts an equal and opposite force, N, the normal reaction on the athlete, so that W = N.

At the same time, the ground exerts a horizontal force, F, o n the athlete so that he/she does not slip.
The magnitude of the horizontal force is
F = μN = μW
where μ = the dynamic coefficient of friction.

Answer:
The horizontal force is μW,
where
W = the weight of the athlete and,
μ = the dynamic coefficient of friction.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>This term shows the </u><u>mass of the space shuttle</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

We know that the mass of the Earth is 5.972 × 10^24 kg. Similarly the sum of mass of earth and the mass of shuttle must be a greater number as compared to the number given. It simply means that the mass of earth is itself 5.972 × 10^24 kg and the value given is 3 × 105 kg so it is obvious that if was the sum then it must be greater than the mass of earth. Therefore we can say that this not the mass of earth, neither the sum of mass of earth and shuttle, but this is only the mass of space shuttle which is the last multiple choice.

The earth's magnetic field, with a magnetic dipole moment of 8.0×1022Am2, is generated by currents within the molten iron of the

Fed [463]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the magnetic dipole moment in terms of the current and the surface area, as well as the current density, as a function of the current over the area.

Part A) By definition we know that magnetic dipole moment is

$m = IS$

Where,

I = Current

S = Area

$m = IA \rightarrow m= I( \pi r^2)$

Replacing with our values we have that,

$8*10^{22} = I \pi(\frac{3000*10^3}{2})^2$

Re-arrange to find I,

$I = 1.1317*10^{10} A$

Part B) To find the Current density we need to find the cross sectional area of the Wire:

$A = \pi r^2 \\A = \pi (\frac{1000*10^3}{2})^2\\A = 7.854*10^{11}m^2$

Finally the current density is simply J

$J = \frac{I}{A}\\J = \frac{1.1317*10^{10}}{7.854*10^{11}}\\J = 0.0144A/m^2$

PART C) Finally to make the comparison with the given values we have to cross-sectional area would be

$A = \pi (10-3)^2 \\A = 49\pi$

Therefore the current density would be

$J = \frac{I}{A}\\J = \frac{30A}{49\pi}\\J = 9.549*10^5 A/m^2$

Comparing the two values we can see that the 2mm wire has a higher current density.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

$a_{acceleriation}=-4cm/s^{2}\\ or\\ a_{acceleriation}=-0.04m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Given data

velocity v₀=20 cm/s at time t=3s

velocity vf=0 at time t=8 s

To find

Average Acceleration at time=3s to 8s

Solution

As we know that acceleration is first derivative of velocity with respect to time

$a_{acceleriation} =\frac{dv_{velocity}}{dt_{time}}\\a_{acceleriation} =\frac{v_{f}-v_{o} }{dt}\\ a_{acceleriation} =\frac{0-20cm/s }{8s-3s}\\ a_{acceleriation}=-4cm/s^{2}\\ or\\ a_{acceleriation}=-0.04m/s^{2}$
