A small bug is lying resting when nine ants simultaneously ambush it and begin pulling it in different directions. They are each

applying force to the meatloaf of a different magnitude and direction. The resultant of all these forces is zero, and the bug amazingly does not rip apart under the strain. (a) Will the bug move or remain motionless? Why?

Answer: The bug will remain motionless

Explanation:

According to Newton's first Law of Motion (sometimes called Law of Inertia):

<em>An object at rest or describing a uniform straight line motion (moving at constant velocity), will remain at rest or moving unless an external force is applied to it and changes its state of rest or motion. </em>

In other words:

An object or body will keep its state of motion until an external force changes its state

This means that objects tend to remain in its state of motion, and is the definition of the inertia, as well.

In addition, according to his law, an object in rest can be in equilibrium (net force equals to zero), and a moving object can also be in equilibrium, as long as it keeps a constant velocity.

<h2>This is why the bug, which is at rest will remain at rest, although the ants are simultaneously pulling it in different directions, since the resultant of all these forces is zero.</h2>

I am really struggling with this question because I can't find anything on aphelion and perihelion, it's not a topic we went ove
Hoochie [10]

I have a strange hunch that there's some more material or previous work
that goes along with this question, which you haven't included here.

I can't easily find the dates of Mercury's extremes, but here's some of the
other data you're looking for:

Distance at Aphelion (point in it's orbit that's farthest from the sun):
<span><span><span><span><span>69,816,900 km
0. 466 697 AU</span>

</span> </span> </span> <span> Distance at Perihelion (</span></span><span>point in it's orbit that's closest to the sun):</span>
<span><span><span><span>46,001,200 km
0.307 499 AU</span> </span>

Perihelion and aphelion are always directly opposite each other in
the orbit, so the time between them is  1/2  of the orbital period.

</span><span>Mercury's Orbital period = <span><span>87.9691 Earth days</span></span></span></span>

1/2 (50%) of that is  43.9845  Earth days

The average of the aphelion and perihelion distances is

     1/2 ( 69,816,900 + 46,001,200 ) = 57,909,050 km
or
     1/2 ( 0.466697 + 0.307499) = 0.387 098  AU
 
This also happens to be 1/2 of the major axis of the elliptical orbit.

A filamentary conductor is formed into an equilateral triangle with sides of length carrying current i . find the magnetic field
arsen [322]

magnetic field due to a finite straight conductor is given by

B = \frac{\mu_0 i}{4\pi r}(sin\theta_1 + sin\theta_2)

here since it forms an equilateral triangle so we will have

\theta_1 = \theta_2 = 60 degre

also the perpendicular distance of the point from the wire is

r = \frac{a}{2\sqrt3}

now from the above equation magnetic field due to one wire is given by

B = \frac{\mu_0 i}{4\pi \frac{a}{2\sqrt3}(sin60 + sin60)

B = \frac{\mu_0 i*2\sqrt3}{4\pi a}(\sqrt3)

B = \frac{3\mu_0 i}{2\pi a}

now since in equilateral triangle there are three such wires so net magnetic field will be

B = \frac{9\mu_0 i}{2\pi a}

Tory has a mass of 40kg. She sleds down a hill that has a slope of 25 degrees. what is the component of her weight that is along
Fudgin [204]

1.7 x 10^2 N

or 166 N

First you find the vertical component of the weight, which is 9.8*40, (g*m), which is 392 N. You then find the angle between that and the slope, which is 90-25, which is 65. You then multiply the vertical weight by cos(65), to find the component of that that is parallel to the slope. You get 165.666 N

A positively charged light metal ball is suspended between two oppositely charged metal plates on
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The positively charged ball moves between both charged plates till the plates and the ball all become neutral.

Check Explanation for more.

Explanation:

Let the ball be in square brackets, and the plates in normal brackets.

(+) [+] (-)

From the law that like charges repel and unlike charges attract.

The positive ball would go first to the negatively charged plate. After which, the ball would hold more negative charges overall than before.

Because the ball is now more negatively charged, it then travels towards the positive plate. In the same manner, the ball would transfer negative electrons to the positive plate.

So, when leaving the positive plate, the ball would be more positive and be drawn towards the negative plate once more. In doing so, it would make the negative plate more positive.

Then, the ball again holds more negative electrons and is drawn towards the positive plate once more.

This back and forth process continues until the once-positive and once-negative plates become neutral, that is, they are discharged.

The ball hanging on the insulated thread becomes neutral too at this point.

Hope this Helps!!!

ow long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly ten swings per second? (That is, one complete vibration takes exactly
Igoryamba
The period T of a pendulum is given by:
T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }
where L is the length of the pendulum while g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration.

In the pendulum of the problem, one complete vibration takes exactly 0.200 s, this means its period is T=0.200 s. Using this data, we can solve the previous formula to find L:
L=g ( \frac{T}{2\pi} )^2=(9.81 m/s^2)( \frac{0.2 s}{2 \pi} )^2=1 \cdot 10^{-3} m=1 mm
