If a star has no measurable parallax, what can you infer?.

1 answer:

3 0

<span>If you can't measure the parallax that means that the star is far far away, beyond all possible reach of humanity with its current technology. The closer the star is the greater the parallax, so you either get a bigger, more powerful telescope, or you just accept that it's too far away to be measured at all. Eventually the technology will develop enough to measure it.</span>

A 75.0kg bicyclist (including the bicycle) is pedaling to the right, causing her speed to increase at a rate of 2.20m/s^2, despi

malfutka [58]

1) 4 forces

2) 165 N

3) 225 N

Explanation:

There are in total 4 forces acting on the bicylist:

- The gravitational force on the byciclist, acting vertically downward, of magnitude $mg$ , where m is the mass of the bicyclist and g is the acceleration due to gravity

- The normal force exerted by the floor on the bicyclist and the bike, N, vertically upward, and of same magnitude as the gravitational force

- The force of push F, acting horizontally forward, given by the push exerted by the bicylist on the pedals

- The air drag, R, of magnitude R = 60.0 N, acting horizontally backward, in the direction opposite to the motion of the bicyclist

The magnitude of the net force on the bicyclist can be calculated by considering separately the two directions.

- Along the vertical direction, we have the gravitational force (downward) and the normal force (upward); these two forces are equal in magnitude, since the acceleration of the bicyclist along this direction is zero, therefore the net force in this direction is zero.

- Along the horizontal direction, the two forces (forward force of push and air drag) are balanced, since the acceleration is non-zero, so we can use Newton's second law of motion to find the net force on the bicylist:

$F_{net}=ma$

where

$F_{net}$ is the net force

m = 75.0 kg is the mass of the bicyclist

$a=2.20 m/s^2$ is its acceleration

Solving, we find the net force:

$F_{net}=(75.0)(2.20)=165 N$

In this part, we basically want to find the forward force of push, F.

We can rewrite the net force acting on the bicyclist as

$F_{net}=F-R$

where:

F is the forward force of push

R is the air drag

We know that:

$F_{net}=165 N$ is the net force on the bicyclist

R = 60.0 N is the magnitude of the air drag

Therefore, by re-arranging the equation, we can find the force generated by the bicylicst by pedaling:

$F=F_{net}+R=165+60=225 N$

Why a surface that always have a perpendicular is an equipotential

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

An equipotential surface is circular in the two-dimensional. Since the electric field lines are directed radially away from the charge, hence they are opposite to the equipotential lines. Therefore, the electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential surface.
