A girl jumps forward off of her skateboard. The skateboard weighs much less than the girl. [Friction in the wheels and between t

he wheels and the ground is so small that you don't need to consider it.] How does the force on the girl compare to that on the skate board?

Answer:

We can think that the girl is initial over the skateboard, when she jumps forward, most of the force that she applies is downwards, so the force is transmitted from the skateboard to the ground.

Now, as she jumps forward, there is also some force applied in the horizontal direction, this force will affect the skateboard, accelerating it in the opposite direction (backward).

As the skateboard is way less heavy than the girl, the acceleration that the skateboard experiences will be bigger. Now, we can not estimate how much the skateboard moves, because we do not know the initial velocity of the skateboard.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

*If the particles are deflected in opposite directions, it implies that their charges must be opposite

*the force is perpendicular to the speed, therefore it describes a circular movement, one in the clockwise direction and the other in the counterclockwise direction.

Explanation:

When a charged particle enters a magnetic field, it is subjected to a force given by

        F = q v x B

where bold letters indicate vectors

   

this expression can be written in the form of a module

        F = qv B sin θ

and the direction of the force is given by the right-hand rule.

In our case the magnetic field is perpendicular to the speed, therefore the angle is 90º and the sin 90 = 1

If the particles are deflected in opposite directions, it implies that their charges must be opposite, one positive and the other negative.

Furthermore, the force is perpendicular to the speed, therefore it describes a circular movement, one in the clockwise direction and the other in the counterclockwise direction.

A simple pendulum, 1.00 m in length, is released from rest when the support string is at an angle of 35.0 from the vertical. Wh
taurus [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Length = 1.00 m

If the length is 1.0, the vertical distance pivot to bob is cos 35 = 0.819

At the lowest point, vertical distance is 1.0, so the change is the difference, 0.181 meter

The potential energy of that height is converted to kinetic energy of motion, which determines the speed.

PE = KE

mgh = ½mV²

V = √(2gh) = 1.88 m/s

Why is friction useful between your feet and the ground?
mixer [17]

Answer:

It allows you to walk faster.

Explanation:  

It is the same force that allows you to accelerate forward when you run. Your planted foot can grip the ground and push backward, which causes the ground to push forward on your foot. We call this grip type of friction, where the surfaces are prevented from slipping across each other, a static frictional force.
