A block is held at rest against a wall by a force of magnitude F exerted at an angle theta from the horizontal, as shown in the

figure above. Let Fg be the gravitational force exerted by Earth on the block, Fn be the normal force exerted by the wall on the block, an Ff be the frictional force exerted by the wall on the brick. Which of the following statements about the magnitude of the forces on the block must be true? Select two answers.
A.) F = Fg / Sin(theta)
B.) Fcos(theta) = Fn
C.) Fsin(theta) = Fg + or - Ff
D.) F = Fg + Fn + or - Ff

Answers:

B.) F cos\theta=F_{n}

C.) F sin\theta=F_{g} \pm F_{f}

Explanation:

The image attached shows the way the force F is acting on the block. Now, if we draw a free body diagram of the situation and write the equations for the Net Force in X and Y, we will have the following:

Net Force in X:

-F_{n}+F cos\theta=0 (1)

Where:

F_{n} is the Normal force

F is the magnitude of the force exerted on the block

\theta is the angle

Net Force in Y:

F sin\theta \pm F_{f}-F_{g}=0 (2)

Where:

F_{f} is the Friction force (it is expresed with the \pm sign because this force may be up or down, we cannot know because the block is at rest)

F_{g} is the gravity force

Rewrittin (1):

F cos\theta=F_{n} (3) This is according to option B

Rewritting (2):

F sin\theta=F_{g}\pm F_{f} (3) This is according to option C

At what altitude above the earth's surface would the acceleration due to gravity be 4.9 m/s^2? Assume the mean radius of the ear
Mandarinka [93]
We apply the gravity calculation expressed in the formula: g=GM/r2 
where G is the gravitational constant, m is the mass and r is the radius
r=√GM/g
(1)       Radius = √6.674e-11*5.972e24/8             = 7058 kms    Earth radius or surface of earth from center of earth= 6400 kmsSo r= 658 kms from surface of earth.
Gravity 8m/s2 will be at 658 kms from surface of earth.
(2) half gravity= 9.8/2= 4.9 m/s2     Radius=√6.674e-11*5.972e24/4.9                 = 9019 kms        Half Gravity will exist at 9019-6400= 2619 kms from surface of earth.

An overhead electric power line carries a maximum current of 125 A. What is the magnitude of the maximum magnetic field at a poi
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

B= 55.6×10^(-7) Tesla

Explanation:

B= μoI/(2πr)

B:  magnetic field strength

μo: permeability of free space and is equal to  4π×10^(-7) T.m/A

r: distance from the wire

I : current in the wire

B= (4π×10^(-7)×125)/(2π×4.5)

B= 55.6×10^(-7) Tesla

Why were the rings of Uranus not observed directly from telescopes on the ground on Earth? How were they discovered?
leonid [27]

Answer:Explained below.

Explanation:

Uranus rings is made up of jet black, coal-like particles in small bands, making them difficult  to perceive from Earth.This indicates that they are probably composed of a mixture of the ice and a dark material. The nature of  material is dismal, but it might be some organic compounds greatly darkened by the charged particle irradiation from the Uranian magnetosphere. Rings were discovered by using a infrared telescope throughout  the occultation of a star as Uranus passed in front of it. The light from the star dimmed many times before it was obstructed by the disk of Uranus and subsequently, showing the presence of various distinct rings.
