The Earth's magnetic field lines appear to emanate perpendicularly from the poles and go round along the Earth from the  South Pole to the North Pole. Therefore, the Earth's magnetic field is generally not parallel to the ground at every location. It is parallel to the earth at the equator near the earth's surface.

The Earth's magnetic field, also known as the geomagnetic field, is a magnetic field that extends from the Earth's interior into space, where it interacts with the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emanating from the Sun.

The magnetic field  varies in strength over the earth's surface. It is strongest at the poles and weakest at the equator.

Answer:

a) We kindly invite you to see the explanation and the image attached below.

b) The acceleration of the masses is 4.203 meters per square second.

c) The tension force in the cord is 28.02 newtons.

d) The system will take approximately 0.845 seconds to cover a distance of 1.5 meters.

e) The final speed of the system is 3.551 meters per second.

Explanation:

a) At first we assume that pulley and cord are both ideal, that is, masses are negligible and include the free body diagrams of each mass and the pulley in the image attached below.

b) Both masses are connected to each other by the same cord, the direction of acceleration will be dominated by the mass of greater mass (mass A) and both masses have the same magnitude of acceleration. By the 2nd Newton's Law, we create the following equation of equilibrium:

Mass A

\Sigma F = T - m_{A}\cdot g = -m_{A}\cdot a (1)

Mass B

\Sigma F = T - m_{B}\cdot g = m_{B}\cdot a (2)

Where:

T - Tension force in the cord, measured in newtons.

m_{A}, m_{B} - Masses of blocks A and B, measured in kilograms.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

a - Net acceleration of the each block, measured in meters per square second.

By subtracting (2) by (1), we get an expression for the acceleration of each mass:

m_{B}\cdot a +m_{A}\cdot a = T-m_{B}\cdot g -T + m_{A}\cdot g

(m_{B}+m_{A})\cdot a = (m_{A}-m_{B})\cdot g

a = \frac{m_{A}-m_{B}}{m_{B}+m_{A}} \cdot g

If we know that m_{A} = 5\,kg, m_{B} = 2\,kg and g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then the acceleration of the masses is:

a = \left(\frac{5\,kg-2\,kg}{5\,kg+2\,kg}\right) \cdot\left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)

a = 4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The acceleration of the masses is 4.203 meters per square second.

c) From (2) we get the following expression for the tension force in the cord:

T = m_{B}\cdot (a+g)

If we know that m_{B} = 2\,kg, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and a = 4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then the tension force in the cord:

T = (2\,kg)\cdot \left(4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}+9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}  \right)

T = 28.02\,N

The tension force in the cord is 28.02 newtons.

d) Given that system starts from rest and net acceleration is constant, we determine the time taken by the block to cover a distance of 1.5 meters through the following kinematic formula:

\Delta y  = \frac{1}{2}\cdot a\cdot t^{2} (3)

Where:

a - Net acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

\Delta y - Covered distance, measured in meters.

If we know that a = 4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and \Delta y = 1.5\,m, then the time taken by the system is:

t = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot \Delta y}{a} }

t = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot (1.5\,m)}{4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} } }

t \approx 0.845\,s

The system will take approximately 0.845 seconds to cover a distance of 1.5 meters.

e) The final speed of the system is calculated by the following formula:

v = a\cdot t (4)

Where v is the final speed of the system, measured in meters per second.

If we know that a = 4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and t \approx 0.845\,s, then the final speed of the system is:

v = \left(4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.845\,s)

v = 3.551\,\frac{m}{s}

The final speed of the system is 3.551 meters per second.

A fireperson is 50 m from a burning building and directs a stream of water from a fire hose at an angle of 300 above the horizon
notsponge [240]

Answer:

We can think the water stream as a solid object that is fired.

The distance between the fireperson and the building is 50m. (i consider that the position of the fireperson is our position = 0)

The angle is 30 above the horizontal. (yo wrote 300, but this has no sense because 300° implies that he is pointing to the ground).

The initial speed of the stream is 40m/s.

First, using the fact that:

x = R*cos(θ)

y = R*sin(θ)

in this case R = 40m/s and θ = 30°

We can use the above relation to find the components of the velocity:

Vx = 40m/s*cos(30°) = 34.64m/s

Vy = 20m/s.

First step:

We want to find the time needed to the stream to hit the buildin.

The horizontal speed is 34.64m/s and the distance to the wall is 50m

So we want that:

34.64m/s*t = 50m

t = 50m/(34.64m/s) = 1.44 seconds.

Now we need to calculate the height of the stream at t = 1.44s

Second step:

The only force acting on the water is the gravitational one, so the acceleration of the stream is:

a(t) = -g.

g = -9.8m/s^2

For the speed, we integrate over time and we get:

v(t) = -g*t + v0

where v0 is the initial speed: v0 = 20m/s.

The velocity equation is:

v(t) = -g*t + 20m/s.

For the position, we integrate again over time:

p(t) = -(1/2)*g*t^2 + 20m/s*t + p0

p0 is the initial height of the stream, this data is not known.

Now, the height at the time t = 1.44s is

p(1.44s) = -5.9m/s^2*(1.44s)^2 + 20m/s*1.44s + po

             = 16.57m + p0

So the height at wich the stream hits the building is 16.57 meters above the initial height of the fire hose.

While at the county fair, you decide to ride the Ferris wheel. Having eaten too many candy apples and elephant ears, you find th
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

radius = 15 m

Time T = 23 s

a) Speed (v) = \dfrac{2 \pi r}{T}

v = \dfrac{2\times \pi \times 15}{23}

v = 4.10 m/s

b) The magnitude of the acceleration is:

a = \dfrac{v^2}{r} \\ \\ a = \dfrac{(4.10)^2}{15}

a = 1.12 m/s²

c) True weight = mg

Apparent weight = normal force

From the top;

the normal force = upward direction,

weight is downward as well as the acceleration.

true weight - normal force = ma  

apparent weight =mg - ma  

\dfrac{apparent \ weight}{true \  weight} = \dfrac{(mg - ma)}{(mg)}

=1- \dfrac{1.12}{9.8}

= 0.886 m/s²

d)

From the bottom;

acceleration is upward, so:

apparent weight - true weight = ma

apparent weight = true weight + ma

\dfrac{apparent \ weight }{true \ weight} =\dfrac{ mg + ma}{mg}

\dfrac{apparent \ weight }{true \ weight} =1+ \dfrac{a}{g} \\ \\ = 1 + \dfrac{1.12}{9.8}

= 1 + \dfrac{1.12}{9.8} \\ \\

= 1.114 m/s²
