Answer:

less than 20580 N

Explanation:

According to the newton's second law of motion

Force = mass * acceleration

(assuming gravitational acceleration =9.8 m/s2 )

acceleration = 30*9.8 = 294 m/s2

acting Force = 70 * 294

= 20580 N

Since the acceleration was less than 30g , acting force should also be less than 20580 N

A 1-meter-long wire consists of an inner copper core with a radius of 1.0 mm and an outer aluminum sheathe, which is 1.0 mm thic

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The total resistance of the wire is = $1.917\times10^{-3}$

Explanation:

Since the wires will both be in contact with the voltage source at the same time and the current flows along in their length-wise direction, the two wires will be considered to be in parallel.

Hence, for resistances in parallel, the total resistance, $R_{Total}$

$\frac{1}{R_{Total}} =\frac{1}{R_{cu} }+\frac{1}{R_{al}}$

Parameters given:

Length of wire = 1 m

Cross sectional area of copper $A_{cu}= \pi r^{2}= \pi \times (1\times 10^{-3} )^{2} =3.142\times10^{-6} m^{2}$

Cross sectional area of aluminium wire

$A_{al}= \pi( R^{2}-r^{2})\\\\ = \pi \times [ (2\times 10^{-3} )^{2}-(1\times 10^{-3} )^{2}] =9.42\times10^{-6} m^{2}\\$

Resistivity of copper $\rho _{cu}=1.7\times 10^{-8} \Omega .m$

Resistivity of Aluminium $\rho _{al}=2.8\times 10^{-8} \Omega .m$

Resistance of copper $R_{cu}= \frac{\rho_{cu} \times l}{A_{cu} } =\frac{1.7\times 10^{-8} \times 1}{3.142\times10^{-6} } =5.41\times 10^{-3}\Omega$

Resistance of aluminium $R_{al}= \frac{\rho_{al} \times l}{A_{al} } =\frac{2.8\times 10^{-8} \times 1}{9.42\times10^{-6} } =2.97\times 10^{-3}\Omega$

The total resistance of the wire can be obtained as follows;

$\frac{1}{R_{Total}} =\frac{1}{5.41\times10^{-3} }+\frac{1}{2.97\times10^{-3}}=521.52\frac{1}{\Omega}$

$R_{Total}= 1.917\times 10^{-3}\Omega$

∴ The total resistance of the wire = $1.917\times 10^{-3}\Omega$

If you drop an object, it accelerates downward at 9.8 m/s2 (in the absence of air resistance). If, instead, you throw it downwar

Korvikt [17]

If you drop an object, it accelerates downward at 9.8 m/s2 (in the absence of air resistance). If instead, you throw it downward, its downward acceleration after release is 9.8 m/s2.

Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity with respect to time changes. They are vector quantities and accelerations. The direction of the net force acting on an object determines the direction of its acceleration. Uniform acceleration, non-uniform acceleration, and average acceleration are the three different forms of accelerated motions.

A free-falling object experiences a downward acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s (on Earth). This specific designation is given to the numerical value for an object in free fall because it is such an essential value. The longer an object is in free fall, the faster it descends toward the ground due to gravity. In actuality, an object's velocity rises by 9.8 m/s2, so it reaches 9.8 m/s by the time it begins to fall.

A shaving or makeup mirror is designed to magnify your face by a factor of 1.40 when your face is placed 20.0cm in front of it

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

(a) convex mirror

(b) virtual and magnified

Explanation:

The having mirror is convex mirror.

distance of object, u = - 20 cm

magnification, m = 1.4

(a) As the image is magnified and virtual , so the mirror is convex in nature.

(b) The image is virtual and magnified.

Use the formula of magnification.

$m =-\frac{v}{u}\\1.4=-\frac{v}{-20}\\v =28 cm$

Use the mirror equation, let the focal length is f.

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{28}+\frac{1}{20}\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{28+20}{560}\\f=11.67cm$

Radius of curvature, R = 2 f = 2 x 11.67 = 23.3 cm
