In a comic book, superman carries a bus (with a bomb on board) up into the air, hovers for a second and then trows the bus over

the horizon while he stay hoverin . how does this situation break the law of conservation of motion? what should have happened instead? Why?

This breaks Newton's Second Law: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The force exerted on the bus by superman should also be exerted on superman by the bus. Using the equation F=m*a, since superman's mass is so much less than the mass of the bus, he should experience a much higher acceleration than the bus does. So if the bus goes over the horizon, then superman should go MUCH further the other way. The caveat is that superman isn't able to change his density at will, which I believe is true in some storylines.

Answer:

1. Largest force: C;  smallest force: B; 2. ratio = 9:1

Explanation:

The formula for the force exerted between two charges is

F=K\dfrac{ q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}

where K is the Coulomb constant.

q₁ and q₂ are also identical and constant, so Kq₁q₂ is also constant.

For simplicity, let's combine Kq₁q₂ into a single constant, k.

Then, we can write  

F=\dfrac{k}{r^{2}}

1. Net force on each particle

Let's

  • Call the distance between adjacent charges d.
  • Remember that like charges repel and unlike charges attract.

Define forces exerted to the right as positive and those to the left as negative.

(a) Force on A

\begin{array}{rcl}F_{A} & = & F_{B} + F_{C} + F_{D}\\& = & -\dfrac{k}{d^{2}}  - \dfrac{k}{(2d)^{2}}  +\dfrac{k}{(3d)^{2}}\\& = & \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}\left(-1 - \dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{1}{9} \right)\\\\& = & \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}\left(\dfrac{-36 - 9 + 4}{36} \right)\\\\& = & \mathbf{-\dfrac{41}{36} \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}}\\\\\end{array}

(b) Force on B

\begin{array}{rcl}F_{B} & = & F_{A} + F_{C} + F_{D}\\& = & \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}  - \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}  + \dfrac{k}{(2d)^{2}}\\& = & \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}\left(\dfrac{1}{4} \right)\\\\& = &\mathbf{\dfrac{1}{4} \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}}\\\\\end{array}

(C) Force on C

\begin{array}{rcl}F_{C} & = & F_{A} + F_{B} + F_{D}\\& = & \dfrac{k}{(2d)^{2}} + \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}  + \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}\\& = & \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}\left( \dfrac{1}{4} +1 + 1 \right)\\\\& = & \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}\left(\dfrac{1 + 4 + 4}{4} \right)\\\\& = & \mathbf{\dfrac{9}{4} \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}}\\\\\end{array}

(d) Force on D

\begin{array}{rcl}F_{D} & = & F_{A} + F_{B} + F_{C}\\& = & -\dfrac{k}{(3d)^{2}}  - \dfrac{k}{(2d)^{2}}  - \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}\\& = & \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}\left( -\dfrac{1}{9} - \dfrac{1}{4} -1 \right)\\\\& = & \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}\left(\dfrac{-4 - 9 -36}{36} \right)\\\\& = & \mathbf{-\dfrac{49}{36} \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}}\\\\\end{array}

(e) Relative net forces

In comparing net forces, we are interested in their magnitude, not their direction (sign), so we use their absolute values.

F_{A} : F_{B} : F_{C} : F_{D}  =  \dfrac{41}{36} : \dfrac{1}{4} : \dfrac{9}{4} : \dfrac{49}{36}\ = 41 : 9 : 81 : 49\\\\\text{C experiences the largest net force.}\\\text{B experiences the smallest net force.}\\

2. Ratio of largest force to smallest

\dfrac{ F_{C}}{ F_{B}} = \dfrac{81}{9} = \mathbf{9:1}\\\\\text{The ratio of the largest force to the smallest is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{9:1}}$}

Where are overcurrent protective devices normally installed in a branch circuit?
love history [14]

Overcurrent protective devices are normally installed in a branch circuit from where the conductors receive their supply.

<h3>What is resistance?</h3>

Resistance is the obstruction of electrons in an electrically conducting material. The mathematical relation for resistance can be understood with the help of the empirical relation provided by Ohm's law.

V=IR

V is the voltage,I is the current and R is the resistance

The vercurrent protective devices are normally installed in a branch circuit from where the conductors receive their supply.

Thus, In a branch circuit, overcurrent safety devices are often located from where the conductors get their supply.

Verdich [7]
Similarities:
The halogens like noble gases are gaseous im nature. Example,
Chlorine, bromine are halogens and argon , xenon are noble gases.
Both are non-metals.

Differences: Halogens are very reactive because their octet needs only one electron tk complete. But, the nobles gases are quite stable and unreactive because the have complete octets.
