There are no nothings following.

"Sphere" is quite an accurate description of the Earth's shape.

"Oblate spheroid" is even more accurate.

They're not the exact same thing.  But if you saw the Earth right next to an oblate spheroid the same size, you couldn't tell it from a perfect sphere.

A 4 kg textbook sits on a desk. It is pushed horizontally with a 50 N applied force against a 15 N frictional force.
GarryVolchara [31]

a) See free-body diagram in attachment

b) The book is stationary in the vertical direction

c) The net horizontal force is 35 N in the forward direction

d) The net force on the book is 35 N in the forward horizontal direction

e) The acceleration is 8.75 m/s^2 in the forward direction

Explanation:

a)

The free-body diagram of a body represents all the forces acting on the body using arrows, where the length of each arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the force and points in the same direction.

From the diagram of this book, we see there are 4 forces acting on the book:

- The applied force, F = 50 N, pushing forward in the horizontal direction

- The frictional force, F_f = 15 N, pulling backward in the horizontal direction (the frictional force always acts in the direction opposite to the motion)

- The weight of the book, W=mg, where m is the mass of the book and g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity, acting downward. We can calculate its magnitude using the mass of the book, m = 4 kg:

W=(4)(9.8)=39.2 N

- The normal reaction exerted by the desk on the book, N, acting upward, and balancing the weight of the book

b)

The book is in equilibrium in the vertical direction, therefore there is no motion.

In fact, the magnitude of the normal reaction (N) exerted by the desk on the book is exactly equal to the weight of the book (W), so the equation of motion along the vertical direction is

N-W=ma

where a is the acceleration; however, since N = W, this becomes

a=0

And since the book is initially at rest on the desk, this means that there is no motion.

c)

We said there are two forces acting in the horizontal direction:

- The applied force, F = 50 N, forward

- The frictional force, F_f = 15 N, backward

Since they act along the same line, we can calculate their resultant as

\sum F = F - F_f = 50 - 15 = 35 N

and therefore the net force is 35 N in the forward direction.

d)

The net force is obtained as the resultant  of the net forces in the horizontal and vertical direction. However, we have:

- The net force in the horizontal direction is 35 N

- The net force in the vertical direction is zero, because the weight is balanced by the normal reaction

Therefore, this means that the total net force acting on the book is just the net force acting on the horizontal direction, so 35 N forward.

e)

The acceleration of the book can be calculated by using Newton's second law:

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

Here we have:

\sum F = 35 N (in the forward direction)

m = 4 kg

Therefore, the acceleration is

a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{35}{4}=8.75 m/s^2 (forward)

A 22.0 kg bucket of concrete is connected over a very light frictionless pulley to a 375 N box on the roof of a building as show
Veronika [31]

Answer:

vf = 3.27[m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must analyze each body individually and find the respective equations. The free body diagram of each body (box and bucket) should be made, in the attached image we can see the free body diagrams and the respective equations.

With the first free body diagram, we determine that the tension T should be equal to the product of the mass of the box by the acceleration of this.

With the second free body diagram we determine another equation that relates the tension to the acceleration of the bucket and the mass of the bucket.

Then we equalize the two stress equations and we can clear the acceleration.

a = 3.58 [m/s^2]

As we know that the bucket descends 1.5 [m], this same distance is traveled by the box, as they are connected by the same rope.

x = \frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}\\1.5 = \frac{1}{2}*(3.58) *t^{2} \\t = 0.91 [s]

And the speed can be calculated as follows:

v_{f}=v_{o}+a*t\\v_{f}=0+(3.58*0.915)\\v_{f}= 3.27[m/s]

If an electron moves in a circle of radius 21 cm perpendicular to a B field of 0.4 T, what are the speed of the electron and the
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

a)

v = 4.048 *10^6 m/s

b)  

Angular frequency =  1.92 * 10^7

Explanation:

As we know

v =  \frac{qBr}{m}

q is the charge on the electron = 3.2 * 10^{-19} C

B is the magnetic field in Tesla = 0.4 T

r is the radius of the circle = 0.21 m

mass of the electrons = 6.64 * 10^{-27} Kg

a)

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

v = \frac{3.2 * 10^{-19}*0.4*0.21}{6.64 * 10^{-27}} \\v = 4.048 *10^6m/s

b)  

Angular frequency =

\frac{4.048 * 10^6 }{0.21} \\1.92 * 10^7

A camera has a single converging lens with a fixed focal length f. (a) How far should the lens be from the film (or in a present
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

a) Due to the characteristic that a converging lens focuses light rays from infinity and parallel to its main axis. Therefore, the lens should be placed at a distance "f" from the film, in this way it will form the image of the object placed at infinity in said film.

b) Since the converging lens produces an image of an object placed at a distance of 2f, the lens must be placed at the same distance (2f), so that this object that is placed at a distance of 2f is focused.
