Answer:

The measure of angle B equals the measure of angle C.

Explanation:

When a ray of light falls on a smooth polished surface and the light ray bounces back, it is called the reflection of light.

There are two laws of reflection;

1) The incident ray and reflected ray and normal all lie in the same plane.

2) The angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.

Here angle of incidence is represented by B and angle of reflection is by C.

So according to law of reflection the measure of angle B equals the measure of angle C.

A cord of negligible mass runs around two massless, frictionless pulleys. A canister with mass m = 20 kg hangs from one pulley.
photoshop1234 [79]

(a) 196 N

The equation of the forces on the side of the cord where the force F is applied is:

F-T=0 (1)

where T is the tension in the cord.

On the other side of the cord, the equation of the forces on the canister is

T-mg = ma (2)

where

m = 20 kg is the mass of the canister

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

a is the acceleration

From (1),

T=F

Substituting into (2),

F-mg = ma\\F=m(g+a)

We want the canister to move at constant speed, so

a = 0

And therefore:

F=mg=(20)(9.8)=196 N

b) 2.0 cm

The cord is inextensible, this means that the acceleration of its parts are the same. Therefore, the acceleration of the free end must be the same as the acceleration of the canister: and this means that the two parts also cover the same distance in the same time.

Therefore, the free end of the cord must be moved exactly the same as the canister, by 2.0 cm.

c) 3.92 J, the same

The work done by the tension in the cord is

W_T = T d

where

T is the tension

d = 2.0 cm = 0.02 m is the displacement

As we said in part (a), the tension in the cord is equal to the force applied to the free end:

T = F

So

T = 196 N

Therefore, the work done by the tension is

W=(196)(0.02)=3.92 J

And since the force applied (F) is the same, then the work done by you when pulling the cord is exactly the same.

(d) -3.92 J

The weight of the canister is

F_g = mg =(20 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=196 N

However, the direction of the force of gravity is opposite to the displacement. Therefore, the work done by gravity is negative:

W_g = - F_g d

And substituting,

W_g=-(196)(0.02)=-3.92 J

(e) Zero

The net work done on the canister can be simply calculated by adding the work done by the tension in the cord and the weight of the canister:

W=W_T+W_g = 3.92 + (-3.92 ) = 0

This is in agreement with the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done on an object is equal to its change in kinetic energy. In this situation, the canister is moving at constant speed, so its kinetic energy is not change: therefore,

\Delta K = 0 (change in kinetic energy = 0)

and so, the work done on it is also zero.

(f) The pulley system changes the direction of the force applied

This is a simple pulley system, which means  that the system does not multiply the force applied in input. In fact, the mechanical advantage of the system is

MA=\frac{F_{out}}{F_{in}}

where:

F_{out} is the output force, which is the weight of the canister

F_{in} is the force in input, which is F

So, the mechanical advantage is 1:

MA=\frac{196 N}{196 N}=1

From a point of view of energy, therefore, there is no advantage in this system.

However, the advantage offered by the pulley system concerns the direction of the force: in fact, it changes the direction of the applied force (which is F, downward) into the tension of the cord (which is upward on the canister).

As a woman walks, her entire weight is momentarily placed on one heel of her high-heeled shoes. Calculate the pressure exerted o
astraxan [27]

Answer:

3.6 x 10⁶ Pa

Explanation:

A = Area of the heel = 1.50 cm² = 1.50 x 10⁻⁴ m²

m = mass of the woman = 55.0 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Force of gravity on the heel is given as

F = mg

Inserting the values

F = (55) (9.8)

F = 539 N

Pressure exerted on the floor is given as

P = \frac{F}{A}

P = \frac{539}{1.5\times 10^{-4}}

P = 3.6 x 10⁶ Pa

What will happen if you put a usb drive and a magnet too closely together?
kakasveta [241]
<span>If you put a magnet right next to a USB drive, depending on the strength of the magnet and the amount of steel, nickel or cobalt used in the construction of that particular model of USB drive, the drive would either adhere to, or not adhere to, the magnet. This would cause no other significant effects. The storage of data in solid state form (as in USB drives) is not magnetic in nature, so no deletion or any other damage of the stored data would occur.</span>
