Two climbers are on a mountain. Simon, of mass m, is sitting on a snow covered slope that makes an angle θ with the horizontal.

The coefficient of static friction between his body and the snow is μ. He is tied into one end of a massless rope that runs over a frictionless pulley. Joe, of mass M, is at the other end of the rope. He has fallen and is hanging motionless below an overhang. Derive an expression for the maximum value of Joe’s mass M so that Simon is not pulled down the slope, in terms of relevant system parameters.

Answer:

Explanation:

It is required that the weight of Joe must prevent Simon from being pulled down . That means he is not slipping down but tends to be towed down . So in equilibrium , force of friction will act in upward direction on Simon.

Let in equilibrium , tension in rope be T

For balancing Joe

T = M g

For balancing Simon

friction + T = mgsinθ

μmgcosθ+T = mgsinθ

μmgcosθ+Mg = mgsinθ

M = (msinθ - μmcosθ)

M = m(sinθ - μcosθ)

If the magnet is now pushed into the coil and then held stationary inside the coil describe fully what would you observe on the
alexira [117]

Answer:

E = q V B     describes the electric field induced

E Proportional to V B

while the magnet is pushed into the coil the induced field (B) will increase (consider 1 turn of the coil)

If V is constant the E-field will increase due to increasing B and the galvanometer will deflect accordingly

When V drops to zero the deflection must again be zero

So one would see a blip due to the deflection of the galvanometer

Note that as V increases the galvanometer will deflect one way and then as V drops to zero the deflection will be opposite (drop to zero when V is zero)

B always increases to a constant value because of the properties of the magnet.

Help me answer these, please. I GIVE CROWNS!! PLEASE!!

Answer: 1- A diagram showing the forces acting on the object.

2- The force vector describes a specific amount of force and its direction. You need both value and direction to have a vector.

3- A vector quantity has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude. You can tell if a quantity is a vector by whether or not it has a direction associated with it.

4- I don’t know

5- When two forces acting on an object are equal in size but act in opposite directions, we say that they are balanced forces

6- By applying an unbalanced force, you can change the motion of an object. Unbalanced forces can make an object at rest start moving, make a moving object stop, or change the direction and speed of the object.

7- If the forces on an object are unbalanced, this is what happens: a stationary object starts to move in the direction of the resultant force.

8- Imbalance or unequal force

9- The result is no motion. Balanced forces can cancel each other out. Any time there is a balanced force, the object does not move.

10- net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object.

7. Katie and her best friend Liam play tennis every Saturday morning. When Katie serves the ball to Liam, it
KIM [24]

a. 4.52 m/s south

Velocity is a vector, whose magnitude is defined as the ratio between the displacement of the object and the time taken for the displacement to occur:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement

t is the time

Velocity is a vector, so it also has a direction, which corresponds to that of the displacement.

For the ball in this problem,

d = 9.5 m south

t = 2.1 s

Substituting, we find:

v=\frac{9.5}{2.1}=4.52 m/s

and the directiion is the same as the displacement (south).

b. 4.52 m/s north

For this part, we must keep in mind that the speed is the magnitude of the velocity; however, speed is a scalar, so it does not have a direction.

Here we are told that the tennis ball travels at constant speed, so on its way back from Liam to Katie the ball's velocity is still the same as before, therefore

|v| = 4.52 m/s

However, this time the direction is opposite to before, since the ball is travelling in the opposite direction.

Therefore, the ball's velocity when Liam returns Katie's service is

4.52 m/s north
