Let us examine the given situations one at a time.

Case a. A 200-pound barbell is held over your head.
The barbell is in static equilibrium because it is not moving.
Answer: STATIC EQUILIBRIUM

Case b. A girder is being lifted at a constant speed by a crane.
The girder is moving, but not accelerating. It is in dynamic equilibrium.
Answer: DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM

Case c: A jet plane has reached its cruising speed at an altitude.
The plane is moving at cruising speed, but not accelerating. It is in dynamic equilibrium.
Answer: DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM

Case d: A box in the back of a truck doesn't slide as the truck stops.
The box does not slide because the frictional force between the box and the floor of the truck balances out the inertial force. The box is in static equilibrium.
Answer: STATIC EQUILIBRIUM

Statement a and e are in static equilibrium, b and d are in dynamic equilibrium and c is not at equilibrium at all.

<h3>FURTHER EXPLANATION</h3>

When the net force acting on an object is zero, the object is said to be at equilibrium. The state of equilibrium can be classified into two: static and dynamic.

Static equilibrium is when the net force is zero resulting in the object being at rest or not moving.

Dynamic equilibrium is when the resultant force acting on an object is zero and the object is moving in a uniform motion (i.e. constant or unchanging speed).

A. a 200 pound barbell is held above your head

<em>Since the barbel is "held above your head" and is implied to be at rest since there is no change in its position during the time it is held, then this situation is an example of static equilibrium.</em>

B. A girder is being lifted at a constant speed by a crane

<em>This is dynamic equilibrium because the object is moving "at a constant speed".</em>

C. A girder is being lowered into place. It is slowing down.

<em>This is not equilibrium condition because the objects is neither at rest nor moving at a constant speed. It is "slowing down", so the speed is decreasing.</em>

D. A jet plane has reached its cruising speed and altitude.

<em>The "cruising speed" is the speed that is maintained while the jet plane is traveling because this is considered to be the most efficient speed. Since it is maintained, the jet plane is said to be in constant motion. Therefore, this is dynamic equilibrium.</em>

E. A box in the back of a truck doesn't slide as the truck stops.

<em>This is static equilibrium because the box is stationary or not moving.</em>

A long solenoid has 103 turns/cm and carries current i. An electron moves within the solenoid in a circle of radius 2.60 cm perp

Aneli [31]

Answer:

0.23348 A

Explanation:

B = Magnetic field

v = Velocity of electron = $1.38\times 10^7\ m/s$

q = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

$\mu_0$ = Vacuum permeability = $4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ H/m$

r = Radius of circle = 0.026 m

N = Number of turns = 103 turns/cm = $103\times 100\ turns/m$

I = Current

The magnetic and centripetal force will be balanced

$Bqv=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow B=\frac{mv}{qr}$

The magnetic field in solenoid is given by

$B=N\mu_0 I\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{B}{N\mu_0}$

From the first equation

$I=\frac{\frac{mv}{qr}}{N\mu_0}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{mv}{N\mu_0qr}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 1.38\times 10^7}{103\times 100\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.026}\\\Rightarrow I=0.23348\ A$

The current in the solenoid is 0.23348 A

Which of these properties of an object best quantifies its inertia: velocity, acceleration, volume, mass, or temperature?

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Mass

Explanation:

Inertia is essentially an object's tendency to stay in motion or at rest unless it is forced to do otherwise (pun intended). It only makes sense to me that mass would best quantify an object's inertia, because an object with more mass would be harder to move and/or stop from moving.

Structures on a bird feather act like a diffraction grating having 7000 7000 lines per centimeter. What is the angle of the firs

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

θ = 28.9°

Explanation:

We are given;

Wavelength; λ = 602nm = 602 x 10^(-9) m

Lines per centimetre = 7000 /cm = 700000 /m

Thus, the distance between 2 adjacent lines is;

d = 1/700000 = 1.43 x 10^(-6) m

The angle at which diffracted light is formed is given by the formula

mλ = d sinθ

Where;

m is the mth order of the diffraction

λ is the wavelength of the incident light

d is the distance separating the centres of 2 adjacent slits

θ is the angle at which diffraction occurs

From the question, m is 1 because it says first order.

Thus, plugging in the relevant values into mλ = d sinθ, we have;

1 x 602 x 10^(-9) = 1.43 x 10^(-6) sinθ

sinθ = 602 x 10^(-9)/(1.43 x 10^(-6))

sinθ = 0.42098

θ = sin^(-1) 0.42098

θ = 28.9°
