Answer:

An object in equilibrium has a net force of zero

Static equilibrium describes an object at rest having equal and balanced forces acting upon it.

Dynamic equilibrium describes an object in motion having equal and balanced forces acting upon it.

Explanation:

An object is said to be in equilibrium when a net force of zero is acting on it. When this condition occurs, the object will have zero acceleration, according to Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

where F is the net force, m the mass of the object, a the acceleration. Since F=0, then a=0. As a result, we have two possible situations:

- If the object was at rest, then it will keep its state of rest. In this case, we talk about static equilibrium.

- If the object was moving, it will keep moving with constant velocity. In this case, we talk about dynamic equilibrium.

If they are metallic spheres they are connected to earth and a charged body approaches

non- metallic (insulating) spheres in this case are charged by rubbing

Explanation:

For fillers, there are two fundamental methods, depending on the type of material.

If they are metallic spheres, they are connected to earth and a charged body approaches, this induces a charge of opposite sign and of equal magnitude, then it removes the contact to earth and the sphere is charged.

If the non- metallic (insulating) spheres in this case are charged by rubbing with some material or touching with another charged material, in this case the sphere takes half the charge and when separated each sphere has half the charge and with equal sign.

Springfield's "classic rock" radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 102.1 mhz. what is the length of the radio wave in meter

Mila [183]

The frequency of the radio wave is:
$f=102.1 MHz = 102.1 \cdot 10^6 Hz$

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is related to its frequency by the relationship
$\lambda= \frac{c}{f}$
where c is the speed of light and f the frequency. Plugging numbers into the equation, we find
$\lambda= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{102.1 \cdot 10^6 Hz}= 2.94 m$
and this is the wavelength of the radio waves in the problem.

block of mass 0.5kg on a horizontal surface is attached to a horizontal spring of negligible mass and spring constant 50N/m . Th

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of the block is 0.5kg

m = 0.5kg.

The spring constant is 50N/m

k =50N/m.

When the spring is stretch to 0.3m

e=0.3m

The spring oscillates from -0.3 to 0.3m

Therefore, amplitude is A=0.3m

Magnitude of acceleration and the direction of the force

The angular frequency (ω) is given as

ω = √(k/m)

ω = √(50/0.5)

ω = √100

ω = 10rad/s

The acceleration of a SHM is given as

a = -ω²A

a = -10²×0.3

a = -30m/s²

Since we need the magnitude of the acceleration,

Then, a = 30m/s²

To know the direction of net force let apply newtons second law

ΣFnet = ma

Fnet = 0.5 × -30

Fnet = -15N

Fnet = -15•i N

The net force is directed to the negative direction of the x -axis

A block of size 20m x 10 mx 5 m exerts a force of 30N. Calculate the

Orlov [11]

Answer:

We know that force applied per unit area is called pressure.

Pressure = Force/ Area

When force is constant than pressure is inversely proportional to area.

1- Calculating the area of three face:

A1 = 20m x 10 m =200 Square meter

A2 = 10 mx 5 m = 50 Square meter

A3 = 20m x 5 m = 100 Square meter

Therefore A1 is maximum and A2 is minimum.

2- Calculate pressure:

P = F/ A1 = 30 / 200 = 0.15 Nm⁻² ( minimum pressure)

P = F / A2 = 30 / 50 = 0.6 Nm⁻² ( maximum pressure)

Hence greater the area less will be the pressure and vice versa.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Wycleff is on block 1, Lilly is on block 4, Emilia is on block 12, and Quincy is on block 17.

Explanation:

Wycleff was at block 1 and heard a low pitch sound the whole time, so the police car must have been moving away from him.

Lilly observed was in block 4 change in pitch first. So the car must have passed her first.

Emilia was at block 12 observed a Doppler effect after Lilly. So the car passed her after passing Lilly

Quincy was at block 17 so she heard a high pitch sound the whole time, so the police car must have been moving toward him.
