Hello User,

The specific term used is velocity. Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

After washing lettuce, you can dry the water from it using a salad spinner. You put the lettuce in the bowl, and then crank the
guapka [62]

A. The force that causes the water on the lettuce to come off the lettuce and go to the walls of the bowl is centrifugal force.

<h3>What is centrifugal force?</h3>

Centrifugal force is an inertial force that appears to act on all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference.

This force is directed away from the center around which the body is moving.

<h3>What is centripetal force?</h3>

This is force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed towards the center around which the body is moving.

While centripetal force is directed towards to the center, the centrifugal force is directed away.

Thus, the force that causes the water on the lettuce to come off the lettuce and go to the walls of the bowl is centrifugal force.

If a wire lies withina magnetic field what must be true for the magnetic field to produce an electric current in the wire
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The magnetic field through the wire must be changing

Explanation:

According to Faraday's law, the induced emf, ε in a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux,Φ  through it. This is stated mathematically as ε = dΦ/dt.

Now for the wire, the magnetic flux through it is given by Φ = ABcosθ where A = cross-sectional area of wire, B = magnetic field and θ = angle between A and B.

So, dΦ/dt = dABcosθ/dt

Since A and B are constant,

dΦ/dt = ABdcosθ/dt = -(dθ/dt)ABsinθ

Since dθ/dt implies a change in the angle between A and B, since A is constant, it implies that B must be rotating.

So, <u>for an electric current (or voltage) to be produced in the wire, the magnetic field must be rotating or changing</u>.

A 1400 kg car is traveling east on the highway at 31 m/s and collides into the rear of a slower moving pickup truck of 2400 kg,
zloy xaker [14]

Answer: 31 m/s due east

Explanation: this question can be solved using the law of conservation of linear momentum.

This law states that in a closed or isolated system, during collision, the vector sum of momentum before collision equals the vector sum of momentum after collision.

Momentum = mass × velocity

From our question, our parameters before collision are given below as

Mass of car = mc = 1400kg

Speed of car =vc = 31 m/s (due east)

Mass of truck = mt = 2400kg

Velocity of truck = vt = 25 m/s ( due east )

After collision

Velocity of car = ?

Velocity of truck = 34 m/s ( due east )

Vector sum of momentum before collision is given as

1400 (31) + 2400 (25) = 43400 + 60000 = 103400 kgm/s

After collision the truck is seen to move faster (v = 34 m/s) which implies that the car also moves due east .

1400 (v) + 2400(25) .... A positive value is between both momenta because they are in the same direction.

After collision, we have that

1400v + 60000

Vector sum of momentum before collision = vector sum of momentum after collision

103400 = 1400v + 60000

103400 - 60000 = 1400v

43400 = 1400v

v = 43400/ 1400

v = 31 m/s due east

A physics professor is pushed up a ramp inclined upward at 30.0° above the horizontal as she sits in her desk chair, which slide
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

V = 3.17 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the professor m = 85.0 kg

Angle of the ramp θ = 30.0°

Length travelled L = 2.50 m

Force applied F = 600 N

Initial Speed  u = 2.00 m/s

Solution

Work = Change in kinetic energy

F_{net}d = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} - \frac{1}{2}mu^{2}\\\frac{2F_{net}d }{m} = v^{2} -u^{2}\\ v^{2} =\frac{2F_{net}d }{m} +u^{2}\\ v^{2} =\frac{2(600cos30 - 85\times 9.8 \times sin30) \times 2.5 }{85} +2.00^{2}\\ v^{2} = 10.066\\v = 3..17m/s
