<h3>Answer:</h3>

49 N

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

Mass of the brick as 3 kg
The coefficient of friction as 0.6

We are required to determine the force that must be applied by the woman so the brick does not fall.

We need to importantly note that;
For the brick not to fall the, the force due to gravity is equal to the friction force acting on the brick.

That is; Friction force = Mg

But; Friction force = μ F

Therefore;

μ F = mg

0.6 F = 3 × 9.8

0.6 F = 29.4

F = 49 N

Therefore, she must use a force of 49 N

Why cooking pans don't have have metal handles?

Harrizon [31]

metals are conductors, meaning that heat travels through it better than insulators such as plastic (commonly used for pan handles)

Therefore, to avoid the heat burning hands, most pans don't have metal handles.

A solenoid with 35 turns per centimeter carries a current I. An electron moves within the solenoid in a circle that has a radius

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The current of the solenoid is 0.0129 A.

Explanation:

The movement of the electron within the solenoid in a circle is produced by equaling the magnetic force and the centripetal force, as follows:

$F_{B} = F_{c}$

$e*v \mu_{0}*n*I = \frac{m*v^{2}}{r}$

$I = \frac{m*v}{e* \mu_{0}*n*r}$

Where:

I: is the current

m: is the electron's mass = 9.1x10⁺³¹ kg

v: is the electron's speed = 3.0x10⁵ m/s

μ₀: is the permeability magnetic = 4πx10⁻⁷ T.m/A

n: is the number of turns per unit length = 35/cm

r: is the radius of the circle = 3.0 cm

e: is the electron's charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C

$I = \frac{m*v}{e*\mu_{0}*n*r} = \frac{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg*3.0 \cdot 10^{5} m/s}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} T.m/A*3500/m*0.03 m} = 0.0129 A$

Therefore, the current of the solenoid is 0.0129 A.

I hope it helps you!

The best rebounders in basketball have a vertical leap (that is, the vertical movement of a fixed point on their body) of about

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

a) 4.45 m/s

b) 0.9 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2as}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times -9.81\times 1}\\\Rightarrow u=4.45\ m/s$

a) The vertical speed when the player leaves the ground is 4.45 m/s

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-4.45}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=0.45\ s$

Time taken to reach the maximum height is 0.45 seconds

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 1=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{1\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.45\ s$

Time taken to reach the ground from the maximum height is 0.45 seconds

b) Time the player stayed in the air is 0.45+0.45 = 0.9 seconds

According to universal gravitation, both mass and air resistance affect the gravitational attraction between objects

Ksju [112]

Air resistance doesn't appear in the formula for gravitational force, because it doesn't affect it. Mass does because it does.
