After a long night of cramming for a test, your college room-mate hits his head forcefully against the wall of your room in desp

air. According to Newton’s 3rd Law, as he exerts a force against the wall, there must be an equal and opposite force. How does that opposite force show itself in this case?

Answer: the wall contracts the force exerted by his head. The wall produces the opposite force which is equal to the force his head bangs the wall with.

Explanation: if his head exerts a much greater force than the wall can counteract the wall will be destroyed, if the wall exerts a much greater force than his head exerts he will be pushed far back and might even suffer a broken head.

The wall in this case provides the opposite reactive force.

Answer:

1.97 * 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

n = 1.52

Recall : speed of light (c) = 3 * 10^8 m/s

Speed (v) of light in glass:

v = speed of light / n

v = (3 * 10^8) / 1.52

v = 1.9736 * 10^8

Hence, speed of light in glass :

v = 1.97 * 10^8 m/s

Photograph E shows a rechargeable torch. When a student shakes the torch, the magnet moves through the coil and back again. This
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

a) according to Faraday's law , b) creating a faster movement, placing more turns on coil

Explanation:

a) The voltage is induced in the coil by the relative movement between it and the magnet, therefore according to Faraday's law

           E = - d (B A) / dt

In this case, the magnet is involved, so the value of the magnetic field varies with time, since the number of lines that pass through the loop changes with movement.

This voltage creates a current that charges the battery

b) There are several ways to increase the voltage

* creating a faster movement, can be done by the user

* placing more turns on the coil, must be done by the manufacturer

A thin uniform rod (length = 1.2 m, mass = 2.0 kg) is pivoted about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end of the rod. (
Anika [276]

Answer:

a=9.8 rad/s^{2}

Explanation:

Torque, \tau is given by

\tau=Fr where F is force and r is perpendicular distance

R=0.5Lcos\theta where \theta is the angle of inclination

Torque, \tau can also be found by

\tau=Ia where I is moment of inertia and a is angular acceleration

Therefore, Fr=Ia and F=mg where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

Making a the subject, a=\frac {Fr}{I}=\frac {mgr}{I} and already I is given as  

I=\frac {mL^{2}}{3} and r is 0.5Lcos\theta hence  

a=\frac {0.5mgLcos\theta}{1/3 mL^{2}}

a=\frac {3gcos\theta}{2L}

Taking g as 9.81, \theta is given as 37 and L is 1.2

a=\frac {3*9.81cos37}{2*1.2}=9.7932679419

a=9.8 rad/s^{2}

Why was miasma theory replaced?
GaryK [48]
In the mid of the 19th century the miasma theory was replaced by the germ theory of diseases (Maia 2013) The Greek physician Hippocrates (c.460- 377 B.C.E) believed that bad air could be the cause of any pestilences, the fatal epidemic.

Rex decides to launch a priceless vase into the air at a 90-degree angle. The initial velocity vase is +7.0 m/s. Dylan claims th
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

D. Dylan is incorrect because a 90-degree launch angle results in the largest vertical range​

Explanation:

Projectile is the motion of an object thrown into space. When an object is thrown into space, the only force which acts on it is the acceleration due to gravity.

An object thrown into space would reach maximum height (vertical range) if it is launched at an angle of 90 degrees. For maximum horizontal range, the object needs to be launched at an angle of 45 degrees.

Therefore Dylan is incorrect because a 90-degree launch angle results in the largest vertical range​
