A physics student is riding on a train traveling north. Having read about inertia, the student performs an experiment with a gol

f ball. He reaches over the aisle and drops the ball from rest. Instead of hitting the floor directly below the student’s hand, it hits to the north, i.e., forward of that position. Which of the following might be the cause for this to happen?
(A) The train is moving at constant
(B) The train is speeding up. veloeity
(C) The train is slowing down.
(D) Whatever the cause, it cannot be any of the answers given.

Answer:

(C) The train is slowing down.

Explanation:

Since the ball seems to move <em>forward, </em>the train is slowing down. This is because Newton's 1st Law, objects inside the train tend to keep their previous state of movement, that is, the velocity before the train start slowing down, thus appearing to move forward in relation with the train itself.

Two parallel wires are separated by 6.10 cm, each carrying 2.85 A of current in the same direction. (a) What is the magnitude of
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The force per unit length is 2.66 \times 10^{-5} \ N/m

Explanation:

The current carrying by each wires = 2.85 A

The current in both wires flows in same direction.

The gap between the wires = 6.10 cm

Now we will use the below expression for the force per unit length. Moreover, before using the below formula we have to change the unit centimetre into meter. So, we just divide the centimetre with 100.

F/l = \frac{\mu _0i_1 i_2}{2\pi d} \\i_1 = 2.85 \\i_ 2 = 2.85  \\\mu _0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \\d = 0.061 \\F/l = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 2.85 \times 2.85}{2 \pi \times 0.061} \\= 2.66 \times 10^{-5} \ N/m

A satellite of mass m is in a circular orbit of radius R2 around a spherical planet of radius R1 made of a material with density
Anit [1.1K]

Answer: The gravitational force Fg exerted on the orbit by the planet is Fg = G 4/3πr3rhom/ (R1 + d+ R2)^2

Explanation:

Gravitational Force Fg = GMm/r2----1

Where G is gravitational constant

M Mass of the planet, m mass of the orbit and r is the distance between the masses.

Since the circular orbit move around the planet, it means they do not touch each other.

The distance between two points on the circumference of the two massesb is given by d, while the distance from the radius of each mass to the circumferences are R1 and R2 from the question.

Total distance r= (R1 + d + R2)^2---2

Recall, density rho =

Mass M/Volume V

Hence, mass of planet = rho × V

But volume of a sphere is 4/3πr3

Therefore,

Mass M of planet = rho × 4/3πr3

=4/3πr3rho in kg

From equation 1 and 2

Fg = G 4/3πr3rhom/ (R1 + d+ R2)^2
