A student weighing 500. newtons

Physics
1 answer:
Romashka [77]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The elevator must be <u>accelerating upward</u> as the net force acting is upward.

Explanation:

Given:

Original weight of the student, W=500\ N

Reading on the spring scale is the normal reaction by the scale on the student and is given as, N=520\ N

The normal reaction acts in the upward direction while the weight of the student acts vertically downward.

Now, the magnitude of the normal reaction is greater than the magnitude of the weight. Therefore, the net force acting on the student is given as:

F_{net}=N-W\\F_{net}=520-500=20\ N(\textrm{Vertically upward})

Therefore, the net force is acting vertically upward.

Now, as per Newton's second law, the direction of the net acceleration acting on a body is the same as the direction of the net force acting on it.

Thus, the elevator must be accelerating upward as the net force acting is upward.

A strip of copper 150 µm thick and 4.50 mm wide is placed in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B = 0.74 T, that is perpendic
Sophie [7]

Answer:

V = 6.55*10^{-6} v

Explanation:

The number density can be determined by using below formula:

n = \frac{Bi}{Vle}

where,

B  is uniform magnetic field 0.74

i is current 18 A

V is hall potential difference

l is thickness 150 MICRO METER

e is electron charge 1.6 *10^{-19} C

therefore V can be determined as

V = \frac{iB}{nle}

V = \frac{18*0.74}{8.47*10^{28}*150*10^{-6}*1.6 *10^{-19}}

V = 6.55*10^{-6} v

Imagine that a relativistic train travels past your lecture room at a speed of 0.894 c. The passengers of the train claim that w
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The length of the train in the frame of the lecture room is 40.59 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 0.894 c

Original length = 90.6 m

We need to calculate the length of the train in the frame of the lecture room

Using formula of length contraction

L=L_{0}\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2}

Where, L_{0}=original length

v = speed of train

Put the value into the formula

L=90.6\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{0.894c}{c})^2}

L=90.6\sqrt{1-0.894^2}

L=40.59\ m

Hence, The length of the train in the frame of the lecture room is 40.59 m.

What area must the plates of a capacitor be if they have a charge of 5.7uC and an electric field of 3.1 kV/mm between them? O 0.
kirill [66]

Answer:

Area of the plates of a capacitor, A = 0.208 m²

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on the parallel plate capacitor, q = 5.7\ \mu C=5.7\times 10^{-6}\ C

Electric field, E = 3.1 kV/mm = 3100000 V/m

The electric field of a parallel plates capacitor is given by :

E=\dfrac{q}{A\epsilon_o}

A=\dfrac{q}{E\epsilon_o}

A=\dfrac{5.7\times 10^{-6}\ C}{3100000\ V/m\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m}

A = 0.208 m²

So, the area of the plates of a capacitor is 0.208 m². Hence, this is the required solution.
