Aircraft sometimes acquire small static charges. Suppose a supersonic jet has a 0.55 μC charge and flies due west at a speed of
Illusion [34]

Answer:

3.014 x 10⁻⁸ N

Explanation:

q = magnitude of charge on the supersonic jet = 0.55 μC = 0.55 x 10⁻⁶ C

v = speed of the jet = 685 m/s

B = magnitude of magnetic field in the region = 8 x 10⁻⁵ T

θ = angle between the magnetic field and direction of motion = 90

magnitude of the magnetic force is given as

F = q v B Sinθ

F = (0.55 x 10⁻⁶) (685) (8 x 10⁻⁵) Sin90

F = 3.014 x 10⁻⁸ N

100 POINTS FOR CORRECT ANSWER/EXPLANATION
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

6 N

Explanation:

Let's start with the small block m on top.  There are four forces:

Weight force mg pulling down, normal force N₁ pushing up, tension force T pulling right, and friction force N₁μ pushing left (opposing the direction of motion).

Now let's look at the large block M on bottom.  There are seven forces:

Normal force N₁ pushing down (opposite and equal from block m),

Friction force N₁μ pushing right (opposite and equal from block m),

Weight force Mg pulling down,

Tension force T pulling right,

Applied force F pulling left,

Normal force N₂ pushing up,

and friction force N₂μ pushing right (opposing the direction of motion).

So you've correctly identified the free body diagrams.

Now apply Newton's second law.  Sum of forces in the y direction for block m:

∑F = ma

N₁ − mg = 0

N₁ = mg

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

T − N₁μ = 0

T = N₁μ

T = mgμ

Sum of forces in the y direction for block M:

∑F = ma

-N₁ − Mg + N₂ = 0

N₂ = N₁ + Mg

N₂ = mg + Mg

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

N₁μ + T − F + N₂μ = 0

F = N₁μ + T + N₂μ

F = mgμ + mgμ + (mg + Mg)μ

F = gμ(3m + M)

Since M = 2m:

F = 5gμm

Plug in values:

F = 5 (10 m/s²) (0.400) (0.300 kg)

F = 6 N

If the maximum tension in the simulation is 10.0 N, what is the linear mass density (m/L) of the string
vovikov84 [41]

Complete Question

The speed of a transverse wave on a string of length L and mass m under T is given by the formula

     v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}

If the maximum tension in the simulation is 10.0 N, what is the linear mass density (m/L) of the string

Answer:

(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Speed of a transverse wave given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}

Maximum Tension is T=10.0N

Generally making (m/l) subject from the equation mathematically we have

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}

v^2=\frac{T}{(m/l)}

(m/l)=\frac{T}{V^2}

(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}

Therefore the Linear mass in terms of Velocity is given by

(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}

Which is an example of a trace fossil?
hodyreva [135]

Answer: The correct answer is A). Animal burrow because burrow fossils represent the preserved byproducts of behavior rather than physical remains, they are considered a kind of trace fossil. One common kind of burrow fossil is known as Skolithos, and the similar Trypanites, Ophiomorpha and Diplocraterion.
