In Paul Hewitt's book, he poses this question: "If the forces that act on a bullet and the recoiling gun from which it is fired

are equal in magnitude, why do the bullet and gun have very different accelerations?" Think about Newton's Second Law (F = ma) and answer his question.

They have different accelerations because of their masses. According to Newton's Second Law, an objects acceleration is inversely proportional to its mass. Therefore the object with the larger mass, in this case the gun, will have a smaller acceleration. In the same way, the less massive object, being the bullet, will have a higher acceleration.

Hope this helps :)

A straight wire segment 5 m long makes an angle of 30° with a uniform magnetic field of 0.37 T. Find the magnitude of the force
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force on the wire is 2.68 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the wire, L = 5 m

Magnetic field, B = 0.37 T

Angle between wire and the magnetic field, \theta=30^{\circ}

Current in the wire, I = 2.9 A

We need to find the magnitude of the force on the wire. The magnetic force in the wire is given by :

F=BIL\ \sin\theta\\\\F=0.37\ T\times 2.9\ A\times 5\ m\times \ \sin(30)\\\\F=2.68\ N

So, the magnitude of the force on the wire is 2.68 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Design a circuit which takes two inputs and outputs a 1 if and only if the two inputs are the same signal. You may only use two
Ivan

Answer:

Q = A ⊕ B = (A AND B) + ( not(A) AND not(B) )

Explanation:

AND gates : only output 1 when both inputs are 1

OR gate:  only output 1 when either or both of the inputs are 1

NOT gates: takes only one input ad output the opposite of the input

The required circuit should takes two inputs and outputs a 1 if and only if the two inputs are the same signal.

The two possible scenarios : both input are 1's or 0's

Q = A ⊕ B = (A AND B) + ( not(A) AND not(B) )

A  B  not(A) not(B)  A AND B    not(A) AND not(B)   Q

0  0     1          1            0                      1                       1

0   1      1         0            0                     0                       0

1    0     0        1             0                     0                       0

1     1     0       0              1                     0                       1
