The force of gravity is the force with which massively large objects such as the earth attracts another object towards itself. All objects of the earth exert a gravity that is directed towards the center of the earth. Therefore, the force of gravity of the earth is equal to the mass of the object times acceleration due to gravity.  

F = ma
4.9N = m (9.8 m/s^2), note that N (newtons) = kg-m/s^2
<u>m = 0.5 kg</u>
<u>The mass of the object is 0.5kg.</u>

The magnetic field strength at the north pole of a 2.0-cm-diameter, 8-cm-long Alnico magnet is 0.10 T. To produce the same field
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

N = 3032  turns

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a solenoid is described by

        B = μ₀ n I

Where is the permittivity in a vacuum with a value of 4π 10⁻⁷ N /A²,  n  is the turn density and I the current

Let's apply this equation to the problem, the turn density is the number of turns per unit length, in this case it is the same magnet length

       L = 8 cm = 0.08 m

Let's calculate

      B = μ₀ N/L   I

      N = B L / μ₀ I

      N = 0.10 0.08 / (4π 10⁻⁷  2.1)

      N = 3,032 103 turns

In a parallel portion of a series-parallel circuit, the voltage across the branches can be found by multiplying the sum of the b
Julli [10]

Answer:

It's true.

Explanation:

It's true. When we connect two resistors in parallel the current is divided between the two in such a way that the sum of the currents on each resistor should be equal to the current on that branch. By finding the equivalent resistance we can use Ohm's law to determine the voltage drop across the resistors. This voltage drop is the same for both, since they're connected in parallel.

A truck travels up a hill with a 5.7° incline. The truck has a constant speed of 22 m/s. What is the horizontal component of the
tester [92]

Answer:

The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.

Explanation:

Please see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.

Notice that the vector v and its x and y-components (vx and vy) form a right triangle. Then, we can use trigonometry to find the magnitude of vx, the horizontal component of the velocity.

To find vx, let´s use the following trigonometric rule of right triangles:

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 5.7° = vx / 22 m/s

22 m/s · cos 5.7° = vx

vx = 21.9 m/s

The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.

What is the frequency of a wave that has a wavelength of 0.39 m and a speed
gogolik [260]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option B</h3>

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave can be found by using the formula

f =  \frac{c}{ \lambda}  \\

where

c is the velocity

From the question

wavelength = 0.39 m

c = 86 m/s

We have

f =  \frac{86}{0.39}  \\  = 220.512820...

We have the final answer as

<h3>200 Hz</h3>

Hope this helps you
