A ball is dropped from the top of the building.it initially moves at 4.0 m/s after 0.5 seconds it moves at 3.8m/s what force is

The correct answer is

Air resistance

In fact, when a ball is in free fall, there are two forces acting on it:

- its weight (force of gravity), acting downward

- the air resistance, acting upward

The effect of the weight is to accelerate the ball, because its direction is the same as the direction of motion of the ball, while the effect of the air resistance is to slow down the ball, because its direction is opposite to that of the motion.

A horizontal wire is hung from the ceiling of a room by two massless strings. The wire has a length of 0.11 m and a mass of 0.01
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnetic force acting horizontally will deflect the wire by angle φ from the vertical

Let T be the tension

T cosφ = mg

Tsinφ = Magnetic force

Tsinφ = BiL  , where B is magnetic field , i is current and L is length of wire

Dividing

Tanφ = BiL / mg

= .055 x 29 x .11 / .010 x 9.8

= 1.79

φ = 61° .

Tension T = mg / cosφ

= .01 x 9.8 / cos61

= .2 N .
