Answer:

Since this is a linear equation

y = m x + b     or

U = m F + b     is a linear equation

when ΔF = (212 - 32) = 180

and ΔU = (60 - (-15)) = 75

m = 75 / 180 = 2.4 if converting F to U and a = .417

U = .417 F + b

If F = 32 then U = -15 and

-15 = .417 * 32 + b

b = -15 - 13.3 = -28.3 and our equation becomes

U = .417 F - 28.3

Check: let F = 212

U = .417 * 212 - 28.3 = 60          as it should

The three forces shown act on a particle. what is the direction of the resultant of these three forces?
melisa1 [442]
Missing figure: http://d2vlcm61l7u1fs.cloudfront.net/media/f5d/f5d9d0bc-e05f-4cd8-9277-da7cdda3aebf/phpJK1JgJ.png

Solution:
We need to find the magnitude of the resultant on both x- and y-axis.

x-axis) The resultant on the x-axis is
F_x = 65 N\cdot cos 30^{\circ} - 30 N - 20 N\cdot sin 20^{\circ} = 19.45 N
in the positive direction.

y-axis) The resultant on the y-axis is
F_y = 65 N \cdot sin 30^{\circ} - 20 N \cdot cos 20^{\circ} = 13.70 N
in the positive direction.

Both Fx and Fy are positive, so the resultant is in the first quadrant. We can find the angle and so the direction using
\tan \alpha =  \frac{F_y}{F_x} = \frac{13.70 N}{19.45 N}=0.7
from which we find 
\alpha=35^{\circ}

When there are more coils added to the wire of an electromagnet what happens to
fiasKO [112]

In technical terms, every coil of wire increases the "magnetic flux density" (strength) of your magnet.

So it's A (magnetic field increase)

what did classical physics predict would happen to the light given of by an object as its tempurtare increased
alexgriva [62]
When the temperature of an object that is giving off light is increased, the particles in the object will move at a faster rate and there will be increased vibration of these molecules. This will makes the object to emit more light and to shine more brightly.
