What is the magnitude of g at a height above Earth's surface where free-fall acceleration equals 6.5m/s^2?

You've given the answer, right there in your question.

The "magnitude of gravity" is described in terms of the acceleration
due to it, and you just told us what that is.

We can also notice that the figure you gave is about 0.66 of the
acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface. That tells us that
the distance from the Earth's center at that height is about

(1 / √0.66) = 1.23 times

the Earth's radius, so the height is about 910 miles above the surface.

As per the given Figure attached here we know that both charges q1 and q2 will apply same force on charge q3 and hence the resultant force due to both charges will be along Y axis vertically upwards

So here we know that

$F = \frac{kq_1q_3}{d_{13}^2}$

now from the above equation

$F = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(2\times 10^{-6})(4 \times 10^{-6})}{0.5^2}$

$F = 0.288 N$

so both of the charges will apply 0.288 N force on q3 charge along the line joining them

now the net force due to vector sum is given by

$F_{net} = 2Fcos\theta$

here we know that angle is

$\theta = 37 degree$

now we have

$F_{net} = 2\times 0.288 cos37$

$F_{net} = 0.46 N$

so net force on q3 is 0.46 N vertically upwards along +Y axis

A cylinder of diameter 100 mm rolls from restdown a 5 m long ramp and its center of mass is moving with velocity 2 m/s at the bo

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

(a): a = 0.4m/s²

(b): α = 8 radians/s²

Explanation:

First we propose an equation to determine the linear acceleration and an equation to determine the space traveled in the ramp (5m):

a= (Vf-Vi)/t = (2m/s)/t

a: linear acceleration.

Vf: speed at the end of the ramp.

Vi: speed at the beginning of the ramp (zero).

d= (1/2)×a×t² = 5m

d: distance of the ramp (5m).

We replace the first equation in the second to determine the travel time on the ramp:

d = 5m = (1/2)×( (2m/s)/t)×t² = (1m/s)×t ⇒ t = 5s

And the linear acceleration will be:

a = (2m/s)/5s = 0.4m/s²

Now we determine the perimeter of the cylinder to know the linear distance traveled on the ramp in a revolution:

perimeter = π×diameter = π×0.1m = 0.3142m

To determine the angular acceleration we divide the linear acceleration by the radius of the cylinder:

α = (0.4m/s²)/(0.05m) = 8 radians/s²

α: angular aceleration.

31) The basic concept of how a simple motor works is explained by which statement?

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

When a wire that carries electrical current is placed in a magnetic field the wire experiences a force.

Explanation:

The electric motor is a device which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy ie when current carrying conductor is placed in magnetic field it experience a force. Flemings left hand rule explains the direction of the current.

The electric motor works by attraction and repulsion of magnetic field.

So the option d explains basic concept of simple motor ie when when current carrying wire is placed in the magnetic field it experience magnetic repulsive force.

Which phrase best describes sir isaac newton's contributions to modern science and therefore to the industrial revolution?

astraxan [27]

Can you please give the phrases?

But, I'll help what I can.

First, he was the first to discover gravity. He was not bonked by the head by an apple, rather he watched an apple fall from a tree before he decided to explore gravity further.

He was also the first scientist to be knighted, which is a great honor, as you can expect.

Newton also developed The Three Laws of Motion. They are extremely important to physics and are considered some of the foundation for physics today.

He also discovered calculus, which is complex math that is very helpful to scientists today.

He also discovered the color spectrum using a glass prism, a dark room and window shade with a hole in it. He was able to project the color spectrum onto a piece of paper.

Those are the few I can think of now, but hope it helps!
