Answer:

The force due to friction is generally independent of the contact area between the two surfaces. This means that even if you have two heavy objects of the same mass, where one is half as long and twice as high as the other one, they still experience the same frictional force when you drag them over the ground.

An electron is moving at a speed of 4.8 × 10 6 m/s at an angle of 30.0° with respect to a uniform magnetic field of 9.2 × 10 –4

omeli [17]

Answer:

r = 5.94 10⁻² m

Explanation:

The magnetic force is given by the ratio

F =q v x B

The bold indicate vectors and the vector product determines that the force is perpendicular to the other two vectors, so the modulus of the velocity does not change, but its direction, therefore the acceleration in Newton's second law is centripetal

F = m a

The magnitude of the force is

F = q v B sin θ

The centripetal acceleration is

a = v² / r

Let's replace

q v B sin θ = m v² / r

r = m v / (q B sin θ)

Let's calculate

r = 9.11 10⁻³¹ 4.8 10⁶ / (1.60 10⁻¹⁹ 9.2 10⁻⁴ sin 30)

r = 5.94 10⁻² m

From a branch 35 m high, a 0.75 kg bird dives into a small fish tank containing

Bad White [126]

Answer:

ΔT = 1.22*10^-3 °C

Explanation:

First, you calculate the potential energy of the bird when it is at 35 m high. The potential energy is also the mechanical energy of the bird in this case.

$U=mgh$

m: mass of the bird = 0.75kg

g: gravitational constant = 9.8m/s^2

h: height = 35m

$U=(0.75kg)(9.8m/s^2)(35m)=257.25\ J$

All this energy is given to the water. You use the following formula in order to calculate the change in temperature:

$Q=mc\Delta T$

m: mass of the water = 50kg

c: specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg°C

Q is equal to U (potential energy of the bird) because the bird gives all its energy to water. By doing ΔT the subject of the formula you obtain:

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}=\frac{257.25J}{(50kg)(4186J/kg°C)}=1.22*10^{-3}\ \°C$

hence, the maximum rise in temperature is 0.00122 °C

How do atoms join together?

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Atoms can be joined together by chemical bonds.

Explanation:

When atoms form bonds, they can achieve a stable electron arrangement. To achieve a stable electron arrangement atoms can lose, gain or share electrons. There are many different types of bonds that hold atoms together.

A force of 50n is applied to an object at an angle of 50 degrees measured relative to the horizontal. Determine the horizontal a

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Fx = 32.14 [N]

Fy = 38.3 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must decompose the force vector, for this we will use the angle of 50 degrees measured from the horizontal component.

F = 50 [N]

Fx = 50*cos(50) = 32.14 [N]

Fy = 50*sin(50) = 38.3 [N]

We can verify this result using the Pythagorean theorem.

$F = \sqrt{(32.14)^{2}+ (38.3)^{2}} \\F = 50 [N]$
