Answer:

a) Tension Force

Explanation:

Since the platform suspended by the strings so here weight of the platform is counter-balanced by the force due to strings.

Here all the molecules of string has tendency to connect with each other so that the internal force between the molecules will help them to bound with each other.

Since we know that this force between the molecules are electromagnetic force due to electron sharing between each other

So this force is known as tension force between the molecules.

So here correct answer force the suspension bridges, cables will exert internal tensile force to counter-balance the weight of the platform.

So correct answer will be

Tension force

Hello There!

If i remember correctly, it is tension force.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)

A 30 g horizontal metal bar, 13 cm long, is free to slide up and down between two tall, vertical metal rods that are 13 cm apart

natita [175]

Answer:

Terminal speed, v = 6901.07 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the horizontal bar, m = 30 g = 0.03 kg

Length of the bar, l = 13 cm = 0.13 m

Magnetic field, $B=5.5\times 10^{-2}\ T$

Resistance, R = 1.2 ohms

We need to find the terminal speed oat which the bar falls. When terminal speed is reached,

Force of gravity = magnetic force

$mg=ilB$ ..................(1)

i is the current flowing

l is the length of the rod

Due to the motion in rods, an emf is induced in the coil which is given by :

$E=Blv$ , v is the speed of the bar

$iR=Blv$

$i=\dfrac{Blv}{R}$

Equation (1) becomes,

$mg=\dfrac{B^2l^2v}{R}$

$v=\dfrac{mgR}{B^2l^2}$

$v=\dfrac{0.03\times 9.8\times 1.2}{(5.5\times 10^{-2})^2(0.13)^2}$

v = 6901.07 m/s

So, the terminal speed at which the bar falls is 6901.07 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

The density of gold is 19.3. G/cm(3). If a nugget of iron pyrite and nugget of gold each have a mass of 50 g, what can you concl

tangare [24]

The pyrite will be bigger, because its density is much lower.

I <em>do</em> know that the gold's volume will be 2.5906 (With a bunch more numbers after it)

50 divided by 19.3 = 2.5906

Waves are observed passing under a dock. Wave crests are 8.0 meters apart. The time for a complete wave to pass by

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Option D

2 m/s

Explanation:

The speed is given by distance/time

The complete wave has a distance of 8 m (This is the wavelength)

Time taken for complete wave is 4 s

Therefore, velocity= 8 m/ 4 s= 2 m/s

The amplitude is the distance between crest and trough hence 9 m- 6 m= 3 m

Frequency is 1/period and in this case period is 4 s hence frequency= 1/4= 0.25 Hz

Essentially, what we wanted is velocity

Q.01 When charging a secondary cell, energy is stored within a dielectric material using an electric field. True or False

Nitella [24]

True, when charging a secondary cell, energy can be stored within a dielectric material using an electric field.

<h3>Relationship between dielectric material and electric field</h3>

The electric field in a capacitor separates the negative and positive charges in the dielectric material, this causes an attractive force between each plate and the dielectric.

The dielectric material can store electric energy due to its polarization in the presence of external electric field, which causes the positive charge to store on one electrode and negative charge on the other.

Thus, when charging a secondary cell, energy can be stored within a dielectric material using an electric field.
