Answer: 9.6kg

Explanation:

According to research, a person with compromised strength in his finger can apply a normal force of 6N to either side of a pinch held object like a notebook.

Since the person is holding onto to the book vertically, the force applied on both sides of the book slightly is 6 + 6 = 12N.

If the coefficient of friction of the surface between the finger and the book cover is given as 0.80.

From the relationship,

F = uR, u is the frictional force, R is the slight resultant force exerted on both side of the book.

Therefore,

F = 0.8 × 12 = 9.6N

The max mass of book this person can hold onto vertically before it slip off his finger will be derived from the formula

F = Mg

If we take acceleration due to gravity as 10m/s², and make M the subject of formula, we have

M = F/g = 9.6/10 = 0.96kg.

Answer: The mass of the heaviest book the person can hold is 0.0157 kilogram

Explanation:

From Force F = Coefficient of friction * length

Note, average length of human fingers is 7.6inches = 0.19304 meters

F= 0.8 *0.19304

F= 0.1544 N

But F = mass m * acceleration g

Mass m = F/g

m = 0.1544/9.81

m = 0.0157 kg

Imagine that an electron in an excited state in a nitrogen molecule decays to its ground state, emitting a photon with a frequen
mash [69]
Since energy cannot be created nor destroyed, the change in energy of the electron must be equal to the energy of the emitted photon.

The energy of the emitted photon is given by:
E=hf
where
h is the Planck constant
f is the photon frequency
Substituting f=8.88 \cdot 10^{14}Hz, we find
E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js)(8.88 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=5.86 \cdot 10^{-19} J

This is the energy given to the emitted photon; it means this is also equal to the energy lost by the electron in the transition, so the variation of energy of the electron will have a negative sign (because the electron is losing energy by decaying from an excited state, with higher energy, to the ground state, with lower energy)
\Delta E= -5.86 \cdot 10^{-19} J

(a) The object moves with uniform velocity from A to B.

(b) The object moves with constant velocity from B to C.

(c) The object moves with increasing velocity from C to D.

<h3>Velocity of the object from point A to B</h3>

V(A to B) = (6 - 0)/(4 - 0) = 1.5 m/s

<h3>Velocity of the object from point B to C</h3>

V(B to C) = (6 - 6)/(11 - 4) = 0 m/s

<h3>Velocity of the object from point C to D</h3>

V(C to D) = (7 - 6)/(12 - 11) = 1 m/s

final velocity = 1 + 1.5 m/s = 2.5 m/s

Thus, we can conclude the following;

The object moves with uniform velocity from A to B.

The object moves with constant velocity from B to C.

The object moves with increasing velocity from C to D.

Plz help me! <br><br> How do electromagnetic fields work?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Electromagnetic field, a property of space caused by the motion of an electric charge. A stationary charge will produce only an electric field in the surrounding space. If the charge is moving, a magnetic field is also produced. An electric field can be produced also by a changing magnetic field.

A proton moving at 8.00 106 m/s through a magnetic field of magnitude 1.72 T experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 7.20 10-1
gladu [14]

Answer:

19.1 deg

Explanation:

v = speed of the proton = 8 x 10⁶ m/s

B = magnitude of the magnetic field = 1.72 T

q = magnitude of charge on the proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

F = magnitude of magnetic force on the proton = 7.20 x 10⁻¹³ N

θ = Angle between proton's velocity and magnetic field

magnitude of magnetic force on the proton is given as

F = q v B Sinθ

7.20 x 10⁻¹³ = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (8 x 10⁶) (1.72) Sinθ

Sinθ = 0.327

θ = 19.1 deg
