Refer to the diagram shown below.

m = the mass of the medal
T =  the tension in the string
g = 9.8 m/s²

Part (a)
The inertial force, F, tends to move the medal away from the windshield when the vehicle accelerates to the right.

Answer: The medal leans away from the windshield.

Part (b)
For force balance,
T cos(15°) = mg
0.9659 T = 9.8m
T = 10.1457m N

Also,
F = Tsin(15°) = 10.1457m*0.2588 = 2.6257m N
The inertial force is equal to the accelerating force, therefore
the acceleration, a, is given by
(2.6257m N) = (m kg)*(a m/s²)
a = 2.6257 m/s²

Answer: 2.626 m/s²

1.Which statement is true when two objects are 20 miles apart but one is much bigger?
Paha777 [63]

1. C.  Gravitational attraction exists between the two objects.

Explanation:

Gravitational attraction is always exerted between two objects which have mass, and its magnitude is given by:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 the masses of the two objects, and r the separation between them. Since the two objects have for sure non-zero masses m1 and m2, even if they are 20 miles apart, the value of the gravitational attraction F is non-zero, so the correct answer is C.


2. D.  Two atoms come together to form a molecule.

Explanation:

this outcome is actually caused by the electrostatic forces between the two atoms, not by gravitational force. In fact, gravitational force becomes relevant only when the masses of the two objects involved are large enough: this is the case for planets, stars, galaxies, and objects in the universe. However, two atoms have very small masses, so the gravitational force between them is really negligible. On this smaller scales, the electrostatic force is much stronger than the gravitational force, so the electrostatic force is the real responsible for the formation of bonds between atoms.

An ac series circuit has an impedance of 60 Ohm and
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Power factor of the AC series circuit is cos\phi=0.5

Explanation:

It is given that,

Impedance of the AC series circuit, Z = 60 ohms

Resistance of the AC series circuit, R = 30 ohms

We need to find the power factor of the circuit. It is given by :

cos\phi=\dfrac{R}{Z}

cos\phi=\dfrac{30}{60}

cos\phi=\dfrac{1}{2}

cos\phi=0.5

So, the power factor of the ac series circuit is cos\phi=0.5. Hence, this is the required solution.
