<span>A large wheel would be easier...a smaller wheel would require more revolutions to accomplish the same direction shift that a larger wheel would...and this would be ergonomically better also...it would alleviate having to make so many turns to accomplish the same direction.</span>

A friend throws a heavy ball toward you while you are standing on smooth ice. You can either catch the ball or deflect it back t
baherus [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

My speed after the interaction will depend upon the impulse the ball will make on me . Now impulse can be expressed as follows

Impulse = change in momentum

change in momentum in the ball will be maximum when the ball bounces back with the same velocity which can be shown as follows

change in momentum = mv - ( - mv ) = 2mv

So when ball is bounced back with same velocity , it suffers greatest impulse from my hand . In return ,  it reacts with the same impulse on my hand pushing me with greatest impulse according to third law of motion. this maximizes my speed after the interaction.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

The correct prediction will be:  

The temperature of the surface of the ball bearing when rubbed over glass will be the least.

The incorrect prediction:

The tennis ball over the linoleum floor will have no friction, as the temperatures will not change.

A negative charge of -0.550 μC exerts an upward 0.900-N force on an unknown charge that is located 0.300 m directly below the fi
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

a.   q2 = 16.4μC, positive charge

b.   F = 0.900N

c.   downward

Explanation:

a. In order to calculate the charge of the unknown charge you use the following formula, for the electric force between two charges:

F_e=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}            (1)

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2

r: distance between the charges = 0.300m

q1: charge 1 = -0.550 μC = 0.550*10^-6C

q2: charge 2 = ?

Fe: electric force = 0.900N

The force exerted in the second charge points upward, then, the sign of the second charge is positive because this charge is getting closer to the first one.

You solve the equation (1) for the second charge ans replace the values of the other parameters:

q_2=\frac{r^2F_e}{kq_1}=\frac{(0.300m)^2(0.900N)}{(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)(0.550*10^{-6}C)}\\\\q_2=1.64*10^{-5}C\\\\q_2=16.4*10^{-6}C=16.4*10\mu C

The values of the second charge is 1.64 μC

b. By the third Newton Law, you have that the force exerted in the second charge is equal to the force exerted by the first charge on the second one.

The force exerted on the first charge is 0.900N

c. The charges are attracting between them, then, the force exerted on the first charge is pointing downward.

A rectangular beam 10 cm wide, is subjected to a maximum shear force of 50000 N, the corresponding maximum shear stress being 3
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Shear stress is the ratio of shear force to area.

We have

       Shear stress = 3 N/mm² = 3 x 10⁶ N/m²

       Area = Area of rectangle = 10 x 10⁻² x d = 0.1d

       Shear force = 50000 N

Substituting

        \texttt{Shear stress}=\frac{\texttt{Shear force}}{\texttt{Area}}\\\\3\times 10^6=\frac{50000}{0.1d}\\\\d=0.1667m=16.67cm

Width of beam = 16.67 cm

Option B is the correct answer.
