Application - You have two objects that you want to push the same distance (5 meters) across the floor. The objects have differe

nt masses. The first object is a dresser (40 kg) and the second object is a kitchen chair (11.5 kg). Which object will take more force to push the the 5 meters across the floor? Why?

I see you're in Middle School, so I've got a hunch that they want you
to say "the dresser because it has more mass".  But that's a poor
answer, to a poor question.

The fact is that there's no way to tell.

The force it takes to move either object across the floor does NOT really
depend on just its mass.  It depends on both the object's mass AND the
friction between the object and the floor.  And THAT depends on the shape
of the feet where they touch the floor, and what kind of material the feet and
the floor are made of.

So it seems to me that we really don't have enough information to answer
the question with.

But again, I suspect that the answer they want is "the dresser because
it has more mass".

You will now examine the relationship between the number of field lines through a surface and the tangle betwcen A and E) angle
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a. cosθ b. E.A

Explanation:

a.The electric flux, Φ passing through a given area is directly proportional to the number of electric field , E, the area it passes through A and the cosine of the angle between E and A. So, if we have a surface, S of surface area A and an area vector dA normal to the surface S and electric field lines of field strength E passing through it, the component of the electric field in the direction of the area vector produces the electric flux through the area. If θ the angle between the electric field E and the area vector dA is zero ,that is θ = 0, the flux through the area is maximum. If  θ = 90 (perpendicular) the flux is zero. If θ = 180 the flux is negative. Also, as A or E increase or decrease, the electric flux increases or decreases respectively. From our trigonometric functions, we know that 0 ≤ cos θ ≤ 1 for  90 ≤ θ ≤ 0 and -1 ≤ cos θ ≤ 0 for 180 ≤ θ ≤ 90. Since these satisfy the limiting conditions for the values of our electric flux, then cos θ is the required trigonometric function. In the attachment, there is a graph which shows the relationship between electric flux and the angle between the electric field lines and the area. It is a cosine function  

b. From above, we have established that our electric flux, Ф = EAcosθ. Since this is the expression for the dot product of two vectors E and A where E is the number of electric field lines passing through the surface and A is the area of the surface and θ the angle between them, we write the electric flux as Ф = E.A

Where are bar magnets the strongest?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The magnetic field is strongest at the center and weakest between the two poles just outside the bar magnet. The magnetic field lines are densest at the center and least dense between the two poles just outside the bar magnet.

5 What is the angular displacement at the end of the 25-mm-diameter shaft and the linear displacement of point A of Figure P5.5
Anvisha [2.4K]

5 What is the angular displacement at the end of the 25-mm-diameter shaft and the linear displacement of point A of Figure P5.5

<h3>What is displacement ?</h3>

A displacement is a vector in geometry and mechanics that has a length equal to the shortest distance between a point P's initial and final positions. It calculates the length and angle of the net motion, or total motion, in a straight line from the starting point to the destination of the point trajectory. The translation that links the starting point and the ending point can be used to spot a displacement.

The final location xf of a point relative to its beginning position xi, or a relative position (derived from the motion), is another way to express a displacement. The difference between the end and beginning positions can be used to define the equivalent displacement vector

Consider a railroad bridge over a highway. A train passing over the bridge dislodges a loose bolt from the bridge, which proceed
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The railroad tracks are 13 m above the windshield (12 m without intermediate rounding).

Explanation:

First, let´s calculate the time it took the driver to travel the 27 m to the point of impact.

The equation for the position of the car is:

x = v · t

Where

x = position at time t

v = velocity

t = time

x = v · t

27 m = 17 m/s · t

27 m / 17 m/s = t

t = 1.6 s

Now let´s calculate the distance traveled by the bolt in that time. Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference at the height of the windshield:

The position of the bolt will be:

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

Where

y = height of the bolt at time t

y0 = initial height of the bolt

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the windshield, at time 1.6 s the height of the bolt will be 0 m (impact on the windshield). Then, we can calculate the initial height of the bolt which is the height of the railroad tracks above the windshield:

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = y0 -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (1.6 s)²

y0 = 13 m
