A 70.0 kg person jumping down from a 3.00 meter wall hits the ground at 7.70 m/s. He hits the ground with stiff legs and stops i

Answer:

$F_{net} = 24434.783\,N$

Explanation:

Let consider that the person hit the ground in the negative direction. The physical model for the impact is modelled after the Impact Theorem:

$m_{person}\cdot v + Imp = 0$

The impact is:

$Imp = - m_{person}\cdot v$

$Imp = - (70\,kg)\cdot (-7.70\,\frac{m}{s} )$

$Imp = 539\,N\cdot s$

The force of impact is derived as follows:

$F_{net} = \frac{Imp}{\Delta t}$

$F_{net} = \frac{539\,N\cdot s}{0.023\,s}$

$F_{net} = 24434.783\,N$

A 10-turn coil of wire having a diameter of 1.0 cm and a resistance of 0.50 Ω is in a 1.0 mT magnetic field, with the coil orien

n200080 [17]

Answer:

The voltage across the capacitor is 1.57 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns = 10

Diameter = 1.0 cm

Resistance = 0.50 Ω

Capacitor = 1.0μ F

Magnetic field = 1.0 mT

We need to calculate the flux

Using formula of flux

$\phi=NBA$

Put the value into the formula

$\phi=10\times1.0\times10^{-3}\times\pi\times(0.5\times10^{-2})^2$

$\phi=7.85\times10^{-7}\ Tm^2$

We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of induced emf

$\epsilon=\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

Put the value into the formula

$\epsilon=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{dt}$

Put the value of emf from ohm's law

$\epsilon =IR$

$IR=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{dt}$

$Idt=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{R}$

$Idt=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{0.50}$

$Idt=0.00000157=1.57\times10^{-6}\ C$

We know that,

$Idt=dq$

$dq=1.57\times10^{-6}\ C$

We need to calculate the voltage across the capacitor

Using formula of charge

$dq=C dV$

$dV=\dfrac{dq}{C}$

Put the value into the formula

$dV=\dfrac{1.57\times10^{-6}}{1.0\times10^{-6}}$

$dV=1.57\ V$

Hence, The voltage across the capacitor is 1.57 V.

Two small conducting point charges, separated by 0.4 m, carry a total charge of 200 C. They repel one another with a force of 12

Lunna [17]

Answer:

200 C

Explanation:

Let C1 and C2 be their charges. According to Coulomb's law

$F_C = k\frac{C_1C_2}{R^2}$

where k = $8.99\times10^9 nm^2/C^2$ is the constant, R = 0.4m is the distance between them, F = 120 N is their resulting charge force

$120 = 8.99\times10^9\frac{C_1C_2}{0.4^2}$

$C_1C_2 = \frac{120*0.4^2}{8.99\times10^9} = 2.13\times10^{-9}$

Since their total charge is 200C:

$C_1 + C_2 = 200$ or $C_1 = 200 - C_2$

We can substitute the above equation

$C_1C_2 = (200 - C_2)C_2 = 2.13\times10^{-9}$

$-C_2^2 +200C_2 - 2.13\times10^{-9} = 0$

$C= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

$C= \frac{-200\pm \sqrt{(200)^2 - 4*(-1)*(-0.00000000213)}}{2*(-1)}$

$C= \frac{-200\pm200}{-2}$

$C = 1.06 \times 10^{-11}$ or $C \approx 200$

So the larger charge is C = 200 C

Our best evidence and theoretical calculations indicate that the solar system began with a giant spinning system of gas and dust

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Solar nebula.

Explanation:

A planet can be defined as a large celestial body having sufficient mass to allow for self-gravity and make it assume a nearly circular shape (hydrostatic equilibrium), revolves in an orbit around the Sun in the solar system and has a cleared neighborhood.

Basically, the planets are divided into two (2) main categories and these includes;

1. Outer planets: these planets are beyond the asteroid belt and comprises of jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune, from left to right of the solar system.

2. Inner planets: these planets are the closest to the sun and comprises of mercury, venus, earth and mars.

These outer planets are made mostly of gases (hydrogen and helium) causing them to be less dense than the solid inner planets. These gases are generally known to be less dense in terms of physical properties.

Some examples of the planet found in the solar system are Mars, Venus, Earth, Mercury, Neptune, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, etc.

Scientists have been able to understand and discover that, gravity pulled materials (low-density cloud of interstellar gas and dust known as a nebula) together forming the planetary bodies in our solar system.

A dark nebula can be defined as an interstellar cloud that is so dense as a result of high concentration of gas and dust and as such it obscures the visible wavelengths of light from stars behind it, thus appearing completely opaque (dark patch) in front of a bright emission nebula or in regions having plenty stars.

The characteristics of a nebulae are;

I. It contain hydrogen.

II. Clouds of gas and dust

III. It is needed to create a star.
