A boy drags a suitcase along the ground with a force of 100 N. If the frictional force opposing the motion of the suitcase is 50

N, what is the resultant forward force on the suitcase?

Fortunately, 'force' is a vector. So if you know the strength and direction
of each force, you can easily addum up and find the 'resultant' (net) force.

When we talk in vectors, one newton forward is the negative of
one newton backward. Hold that thought, while I slog through
the complete solution of the problem.

(100 N forward) plus (50 N backward)

= (100 N forward) minus (50 N forward)

= 50 N forward .

That's it.
Is there any part of the solution that's not clear ?

Calculate the critical angle for light going from Glycerine to air.

Georgia [21]

The refractive index for glycerine is $n_g=1.473$ , while for air it is $n_a = 1.00$ .

When the light travels from a medium with greater refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle over which there is no refraction, but all the light is reflected. This critical angle is given by:
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )$
where n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two mediums. If we susbtitute the refractive index of glycerine and air in the formula, we find the critical angle for this case:
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{1.00}{1.473} )=42.8^{\circ}$

A uniform magnetic field passes through a horizontal circular wire loop at an angle 19.5 ∘ from the vertical. The magnitude of t

nlexa [21]

To solve this problem, we will apply the concepts related to Faraday's law that describes the behavior of the emf induced in the loop. Remember that this can be expressed as the product between the number of loops and the variation of the magnetic flux per unit of time. At the same time the magnetic flux through a loop of cross sectional area is,

$\Phi = BA Cos \theta$

Here,

$\theta$ = Angle between areal vector and magnetic field direction.

According to Faraday's law, induced emf in the loop is,

$\epsilon= -N \frac{d\Phi }{dt}$

$\epsilon = -N \frac{(BAcos\theta)}{dt}$

$\epsilon = -NAcos\theta \frac{dB}{dt}$

$\epsilon = -N\pi r^2 cos\theta \frac{d}{dt} ( ( 3.75 T ) + ( 3.05T/s ) t + ( -6.95 T/s^2 ) t^2)$

$\epsilon = -N\pi r^2 cos\theta( (3.05T/s)-(13.9T/s)t )$

At time $t = 5.71s$ , Induced emf is,

$\epsilon = -(1) \pi (0.220m)^2 cos(19.5\°)( (3.05T/s)-(13.9T/s)(5.71s))$

$\epsilon = 10.9V$

Therefore the magnitude of the induced emf is 10.9V

Please help me to do this problem

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

we got time and velocity over time.

so the distance is again the area underneath the graph

for a triangle with known base and height it's

4*10 / 2

distance traveled is 20

deceleration occurs when velocity decreases. that happens from t=2 till t=4

in 2 time-units we loose 10 units of velocity, so we decelerate by 5 units per 1 time

a (from t=2 to t=4) = -5v/t
