If you are traveling in a primary channel and you encounter a red and green marker (with the green band on top) when proceeding

There are many indicators used in navigation such as international markers in order to understand quickly the directions intended during sailing. For example, a green marker indicates that you must pass on the side such that the green marker will be on your left side while the red marker means that the marker should be on your right side on the other hand upon passing the marker. Now when there is a green and red marker, this means you can either pass on either sides but the recommended channel is the direction indicated by the color of topmost band. If green, the navigator must work so that the passing makes the marker on the left side.

The earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 N/C and directed in toward the c
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the electric charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is 3.923 coulombs and its sign is negative.

b) The force of repulsion between two people is 13.851\times 10^{6} newtons. The use of the earth's electric field a feasible means of flight is not feasible since electric force of repulsion would destroy human body before taking advantage of any possible flight skill.

Explanation:

a) From Second Newton's Law, we form this equation of equilibrium:

\Sigma F = F_{E}-W = 0 (Eq. 1)

Where:

F_{E} - Electrostatic force exerted on human, measured in Newton.

W - Weight of the human, measured in Newton.

If we consider that human can be represented as a particle and make use of definitions of electric field and weight, the previous equation is expanded and electric charge is cleared afterwards:

q\cdot E-m\cdot g = 0

q = \frac{m\cdot g}{E} (Eq. 2)

E - Electric field, measured in Newtons per Coloumb.

m - Mass, measured in kilograms.

g - Gravity acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

q - Electric charge, measured in Coulomb.

As electric field of the Earth is directed in toward the center of the planet, that is, in the same direction of gravity, electric field must be a negative value. If we know that m = 60\,kg, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and E = -150\,\frac{N}{C}, the charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is:

q = \frac{(60\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}{-150\,\frac{N}{C} }

q = -3.923\,C

The magnitude of the electric charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is 3.923 coulombs and its sign is negative.

b) The electric force of repulsion between two people with the same charge calculated in part (a) is determined by Coulomb's Law, whose definition we proceed to use:

F = \kappa \cdot \frac{q^{2}}{r^{2}} (Eq. 3)

Where:

\kappa - Electrostatic constant, measured in Newton-square meter per square Coulomb.

q - Electric charge, measured in Coulomb.

r - Distance between two people, measured in meters.

If we know that \kappa = 9\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}}, q = -3.923\,C and r = 100\,m, then the force of repulsion between two people is:

F = \left(9\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}} \right)\cdot \left[\frac{(-3.923\,C)^{2}}{(100\,m)^{2}} \right]

F = 13.851\times 10^{6}\,N

The force of repulsion between two people is 13.851\times 10^{6} newtons. The use of the earth's electric field a feasible means of flight is not feasible since electric force of repulsion would destroy human body before taking advantage of any possible flight skill.

An elevator is moving is an upwards
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The elevator's free-body diagram has three forces, the force of gravity, a downward normal force from you, and an upward force from the tension in the cable holding the elevator. The combined system of you + elevator has two forces, a combined force of gravity and the tension in the cable.

A student releases a marble from the top of a ramp. The marble increases
Fed [463]

Answer:

Vf = 69.56 cm/s

Explanation:

In order to find the final speed of the ramp, we will use the equations of motion. First we use second equation of motion to find out the acceleration of marble:

s = Vi t + (1/2)at²

where,

s = distance traveled = 160 cm

Vi = Initial Speed = 0 cm/s (since, marble starts from rest)

t = time interval = 4.6 s

a = acceleration = ?

Therefore,

160 cm = (0 cm/s)(4.6 s) + (1/2)(a)(4.6 s)²

a = (320 cm)/(4.6 s)²

a = 15.12 cm/s²

Now, we use first equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + at

Vf = 0 cm/s + (15.12 cm/s²)(4.6 s)

<u>Vf = 69.56 cm/s</u>
