I believe it's technically referred to as the Normal force.
However I like to think of it as the reaction force, as it is the force that is a result of obeying Newton's 3rd law ("<span>For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction"). The upward force from the ground is the reaction to the downward force of gravity.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
The kilogram (abbreviation, kg) is the Standard International (SI) System of Units unit of mass.
Answer:
176.22 nm
Explanation:
= Index of refraction of oil = 1.64
= Wavelength of the light = 578 nm
= minimum thickness of the oil
For destructive interference, we have
For minimum thickness, m = 1
When a candle is burning and
wind is blowing it on one side of the flame, which causes the flame to bend
towards the wind is an example of Bernoulli’s principle. The principle explain
that the higher the speed,
the lower the pressure becomes. When you blow against one side of the flame, you are creating
an area of low pressure. The relatively high-pressure air on the other side of
the candle will rush over to fill the area of low pressure that causes the flame to be
pushed in the direction of the blowing.
Answer:
36N
Explanation:
First draw a diagram so you can see which forces act in which direction.
Then define which is your positive direction. I chose the direction of accelleration (downward) to be positive. This means that the weight of the object is also acting in the positive direction but Tension is acting in the negative direction.
If the elevator which contains the object within is accellerating at 2.6 ms^-2 then the object and string system is also accellerating at the same rate.
F = ma where F is the resultant force.
Resultant for is Weight + Tension but tension is in the negative direction so
F = mg -T
F = 5g - T
F = ma so F = 5 x 2.6
13 = 5g-T
T = 5g - 13
T = 36N
(I've taken g = 9.8ms^-2 but if this is for a physics class I'd take it to be 9.81ms^-2)
