Answer: attractive

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of Gravitation, the gravitational force $F$ exerted between two bodies of masses $m1$ and $m2$ and separated by a distance $r$ is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance:

$F=G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{r^2}$

Where:

$G$ is the Gravitational Constant

$m1$ and $m2$ are the masses of the objects

$r$ is the distance between the objects

It should be noted: this force is a central force and is attractive.

When the electron is moving in the plane of the page in the direction indicated by the arrow, the force on the electron is direc

Serga [27]

Answer: F

Out of the page.

Explanation:

For an electron with a charge of -e, the magnitude of the force on it is F = BeV

Where

F = force on the electron

e = charge ( electrons )

V = velocity

B = magnetic field

F is the force acting on all the electrons in a wire which gives rise to the F = BIL

Where

I = current

L = length of the wire

The force F is always at the right angle to the particle's velocity and its direction can be found using the left hand rule.

When the electron is moving in the plane of the page in the direction indicated by the arrow, the force on the electron is directed out of the page.

Consider a spring mass system (mass m1, spring constant k) with period T1. Now consider a spring mass system with the same sprin

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Assuming that both mass here move horizontally on a frictionless surface, and that this spring follows Hooke's Law, then the mass of $m_2$ would be four times that of $m_1$ .

Explanation:

In general, if the mass in a spring-mass system moves horizontally on a frictionless surface, and that the spring follows Hooke's Law, then

$\displaystyle \frac{m_2}{m_1} = \left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^2$ .

Here's how this statement can be concluded from the equations for a simple harmonic motion (SHM.)

In an SHM, if the period is $T$ , then the angular velocity of the SHM would be

$\displaystyle \omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$ .

Assume that the mass starts with a zero displacement and a positive velocity. If $A$ represent the amplitude of the SHM, then the displacement of the mass at time $t$ would be:

$\mathbf{x}(t) = A\sin(\omega\cdot t)$ .

The velocity of the mass at time $t$ would be:

$\mathbf{v}(t) = A\,\omega \, \cos(\omega\, t)$ .

The acceleration of the mass at time $t$ would be:

$\mathbf{a}(t) = -A\,\omega^2\, \sin(\omega \, t)$ .

Let $m$ represent the size of the mass attached to the spring. By Newton's Second Law, the net force on the mass at time $t$ would be:

$\mathbf{F}(t) = m\, \mathbf{a}(t) = -m\, A\, \omega^2 \, \cos(\omega\cdot t)$ ,

Since it is assumed that the mass here moves on a horizontal frictionless surface, only the spring could supply the net force on the mass. Therefore, the force that the spring exerts on the mass will be equal to the net force on the mass. If the spring satisfies Hooke's Law, then the spring constant $k$ will be equal to:

$\begin{aligned} k &= -\frac{\mathbf{F}(t)}{\mathbf{x}(t)} \\ &= \frac{m\, A\, \omega^2\, \cos(\omega\cdot t)}{A \cos(\omega \cdot t)} \\ &= m \, \omega^2\end{aligned}$ .

Since $\displaystyle \omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$ , it can be concluded that:

$\begin{aligned} k &= m \, \omega^2 = m \left(\frac{2\pi}{T}\right)^2\end{aligned}$ .

For the first mass $m_1$ , if the time period is $T_1$ , then the spring constant would be:

$\displaystyle k = m_1\, \left(\frac{2\pi}{T_1}\right)^2$ .

Similarly, for the second mass $m_2$ , if the time period is $T_2$ , then the spring constant would be:

$\displaystyle k = m_2\, \left(\frac{2\pi}{T_2}\right)^2$ .

Since the two springs are the same, the two spring constants should be equal to each other. That is:

$\displaystyle m_1\, \left(\frac{2\pi}{T_1}\right)^2 = k = m_2\, \left(\frac{2\pi}{T_2}\right)^2$ .

Simplify to obtain:

$\displaystyle \frac{m_2}{m_1} = \left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^2$ .

alekssr [168]

Jack------------ force of 92.5 n eastward-------Fjack(X)=92.5 n Fjack(Y)=0

<span>jill ------------------------------- force of 89.9 n northeast
Fjill(X)=cos45*89.9=63.57 n
</span>Fjill(Y)=sin45*89.9=63.57 n<span>

</span>jane -----------------------------force of 163 n southeast
Fjane(X)=cos45*163=115.26 n
Fjane(X)=-sin45*163=-115.26 n

Ftotal (X)=92.5+63.57+115.26=271.33 n
Ftotal (Y)=0+63.57-115.26=-51.69 n

Fotal=((271.33)^2+(-115.26)^2) ^0.5=294.80 n southeast

the magnitude of the net force the people exert on the donkey. is 294.80 n southeast
