The centripetal force is equal to:
\frac{mv^2}{r}
After substituting the values from the question into the equation, we get:
<span>\frac{85*15^2}{20}
</span>This solves to give a value of 956.25N

Recall the equation for magnetic force:

F = qv x B          *x is cross product, not separate variable!

If the magnetic field points towards N and you throw E, then the magnetic force would point up, or out of the page. Use the right-hand rule. You point your finger towards the direction of the object, and curl your finger to the magnetic field. Your thumb is the direction of the magnetic force.

Hope this helps!

An object whose specific gravity is 0.850 is placed in water. What fraction of the object is below the surface of the water?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

Explanation:

Given;

specific gravity of the object, γ = 0.850

Specific gravity is given as;

specific \ gravity = \frac{density \ of the \ object}{density \ of \ water}\\\\0.85= \frac{density \ of the \ object}{1000 \ kg/m^3} \\\\density \ of the \ object = 850 \ kg/m^3

Fraction of the object's weight below the surface of water is calculated as;

= \frac{850}{1000} \ \times\ 100\%\\\\= 85 \% \\\\= \frac{17}{20}

Therefore, the fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

2.75 meters.

Explanation:

1 meter = 100 centimeters.

There are 275 centimeters.

275/100=2.75

So, each piece of wallpaper was 2.75 meters long.

How does the scientific process generally begin?
Murljashka [212]
There are several approaches. The most favourable one (in my opinion) is this one:
1. Asking a question
2. Doing a research (how to answer this question)
3. Creating a hypothesis (NOT a thesis!)
4. Experimenting (to prove the hypothesis)
5. Analysing results from the experiment
6. Writing a thesis
