Answer:

628.022466 N

8.61 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass

\mu = Coefficient of friction

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

F_f=\mu mg\\\Rightarrow F_f=0.646\times 99.1\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_f=628.022466\ N

Magnitude of frictional force is 628.022466 N

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F_f}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{628.022466}{99.1}\\\Rightarrow a=6.33726\ m/s^2

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=u-6.33726\times 1.36\\\Rightarrow u=8.61\ m/s

Initial speed of the player is 8.61 m/s

By quadrupling the mass of the body hanging on the thread what will become the period of oscillation?​
nikklg [1K]

Well, the tension in the thread will probably quadruple, but the hanging body will continue to just hang there.  

The question gives us no evidence that it is doing any oscillating, and there's no reason for it to start just because it suddenly got heavier.

Can you explain to be the definition of Quantum Theory?
Vanyuwa [196]
Quantum Theory is commonly related to Quantum Mechanics, or the physics of sub-atomic particles. Quantum Theory defines the theories or educated ideas behind Quantum Mechanics. I believe this is the answer you are looking for.

Which of the following statements is/are true? Check all that apply. A nonconservative force permits a two-way conversion betwee
saul85 [17]

Answer:

A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

The work done by a nonconservative force depends on the path taken.

A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.

Explanation:

A conservative force is defined as a force whose work done does not depend on the path taken, but only on the initial and final position of motion.

This means that for a conservative force, it is possible to defined a potential energy function U which depends only on the position of the object. An example of conservative force is gravity: the gravitational potential energy of an object, in fact, depends only on its position in the field, not on the path taken.

This behaviour also implies that when an object moves from A to B and then back from B to A, the potential energy gained (or lost) moving from A to B is lost (or re-gained) when moving from B to A. This means that the total mechanical energy (sum of kinetic energy and potential energy) of the object is conserved, and therefore there is a constant conversion between potential and kinetic energy during the motion.

A non-conservative force instead does not show this properties, as the work done by it depends on the path taken, and therefore it is not possible to define a potential energy function. An example of non-conservative force is friction.

According to what we wrote above, therefore, the only correct statements are:

A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

The work done by a nonconservative force depends on the path taken.

A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.

A 4.00-m-long, 470 kg steel beam extends horizontally from the point where it has been bolted to the framework of a new building
adell [148]

Answer:

12164.4 Nm

Explanation:

CHECK THE ATTACHMENT

Given values are;

m1= 470 kg

x= 4m

m2= 75kg

Cm = center of mass

g= acceleration due to gravity= 9.82 m/s^2

The distance of centre of mass is x/2

Center of mass(1) = x/2

But x= 4 m

Then substitute, we have,

Center of mass(1) = 4/2 = 2m

We can find the total torque, through the summation of moments that comes from both the man and the beam.

τ = τ(1) + τ(2)

But

τ(1)= ( Center of m1 × m1 × g)= (2× 470× 9.81)

= 9221.4Nm

τ(2)= X * m2 * g = ( 4× 75 × 9.81)= 2943Nm

τ = τ(1) + τ(2)

= 9221.4Nm + 2943Nm

= 12164.4 Nm

Hence, the magnitude of the torque about the point where the beam is bolted into place is 12164.4 Nm

A proton moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B at a speed of 2.30 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration of 1.70 10
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the following :

Speed (V) = speed of 2.30×10^7 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 1.70×10^13 m/s^2

Using the right hand rule provided by  Lorentz law:

B = F / qvSinΘ

Where B = magnitude of the magnetic field

v = speed of the particle

Θ = 90° (perpendicular to the field)

q = charge of the particle

SinΘ = sin90°  = 1

Note F = ma

Therefore,

B = ma / qvSinΘ

Mass of proton = 1.67 × 10^-27

Charge = 1.6 × 10^-19 C

B = [(1.67 × 10^-27) × (1.70 × 10^13)] / (1.6 × 10^-19) × (2.30 × 10^7) × 1

B = 2.839 × 10^-14 / 3.68 × 10^-12

B = 0.7715 × 10^-2

B = 7.72 × 10^-3 T

2) Magnetic field will be in the negative y direction according to the right hand thumb rule.

Since Velocity is in the positive z- direction, acceleration in the positive x - direction, then magnetic field must be in the negative y-direction.
