Answer:

D) The horse’s velocity increases by 2 mi/h every 1 s as the horse moves south

Explanation:

Let's analyze all options:

A. The horse’s speed changes to 2 mi/h as the horse moves south The horse's speed is not 2 mi/h, but it increases 2 mi/h every second. So, this is false.

B. The horse’s speed decreases by 2 mi/h every 1 s. It would only decrease if the horse was moving north. Otherwise this is false.

C. The horse’s position decreases by 2 mi every 1 s as the horse moves south. It is not horse's position but its velocity what changes 2mi/h every second. Also false.

D. The horse’s velocity increases by 2 mi/h every 1 s as the horse moves south. Since given acceleration is positive, you can say that its velocity increases 2mi/h every second.  So, this is true

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

6 N

Explanation:

Let's start with the small block m on top.  There are four forces:

Weight force mg pulling down, normal force N₁ pushing up, tension force T pulling right, and friction force N₁μ pushing left (opposing the direction of motion).

Now let's look at the large block M on bottom.  There are seven forces:

Normal force N₁ pushing down (opposite and equal from block m),

Friction force N₁μ pushing right (opposite and equal from block m),

Weight force Mg pulling down,

Tension force T pulling right,

Applied force F pulling left,

Normal force N₂ pushing up,

and friction force N₂μ pushing right (opposing the direction of motion).

So you've correctly identified the free body diagrams.

Now apply Newton's second law.  Sum of forces in the y direction for block m:

∑F = ma

N₁ − mg = 0

N₁ = mg

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

T − N₁μ = 0

T = N₁μ

T = mgμ

Sum of forces in the y direction for block M:

∑F = ma

-N₁ − Mg + N₂ = 0

N₂ = N₁ + Mg

N₂ = mg + Mg

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

N₁μ + T − F + N₂μ = 0

F = N₁μ + T + N₂μ

F = mgμ + mgμ + (mg + Mg)μ

F = gμ(3m + M)

Since M = 2m:

F = 5gμm

Plug in values:

F = 5 (10 m/s²) (0.400) (0.300 kg)

F = 6 N

Evgen [1.6K]

Complete Question

A flat loop of wire consisting of a single turn of cross-sectional area 8.00 cm2 is perpendicular to a magnetic field that increases uniformly in magnitude from 0.500 T to 1.60 T in 0.99 s. What is the resulting induced current if the loop has a resistance of 1.20  \ \Omega

Answer:

The current is   I =  0.0007 41 \ A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  area is  A = 8.00 \ cm^2  = 8.0 *10^{-4} \  m^2

   The initial magnetic field at t_o = 0 \ seconds  is B_i = 0.500 \ T

   The magnetic field at t_1 = 0.99 \ seconds is  B_f  = 1.60 \ T

     The resistance is  R = 1.20  \ \Omega

Generally the induced emf is mathematically represented as

      \epsilon  =  A * \frac{B_f - B_i }{ t_f - t_o }

=>   \epsilon  =  8.0 *10^{-4} * \frac{1.60  - 0.500 }{ 0.99- 0  }

=>   \epsilon  = 0.000889 \ V

Generally the current induced is mathematically represented as

     I = \frac{\epsilon}{R }

=>  I = \frac{0.000889}{ 1.20 }  

=>  I =  0.0007 41 \ A

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

When a rockets thrusters push on the ground the ground pushes back on the rocket with equal force in the opposite direction. Hence the rocket takes off.

Newtons third law of motion states, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
