Answer:
a) Frope= 71.7 N
b) Frope=6.7 N
Explanation:
In the figure the skier is simulated as an object, "a box".
a) At constant velocity we can say that the object is in equilibrium, so we apply the Newton's first law:
∑F=0
Frope=w*sen6.8°
Frope=71.71N
Take into account that w is the weight that is calculated as mass per gravitiy constant:
w=m*g
b) In this case the system has an acceleration of 0.109m/s2. Then, we apply Newton's second law of motion:
F=m*a
F=61.8Kg*0.109m/s2
Frope=6.73N
1. The magnitude of the magnetic field doubles
Explanation: the intensity of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by:
where is the vacuum permeability, I is the current in the wire, r is the distance from the wire.
As we see from the formula, the intensity of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current: if the current increases from 5 A to 10 A, it means it doubles, so the magnetic field doubles as well.
2. The magnitude of the magnetic field halves
Explanation: the intensity of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by:
We see that the magnitude of the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire (r). In this case, the distance of the particle is changed from 10 cm to 20 cm, so it is doubled: therefore, the magnitude of the field will become half of the initial value.
3. The force reverses direction
Explanation: the force exerted on a charged particle in a magnetic field is:
where q is the charge, v is the speed of the particle, B is the magnetic field intensity and the angle between the direction of v and B. If the charge of the particle is switched from 2 µC to –2µC, the magnitude of the force does not change (because the absolute value of q does not change), however the charge q gets a negative sign (-), so the sign of the force changes and gets a negative sign too, so the force reverses direction.
