The normal force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the weight of the student.
W = m · g = 60 kg · 10 m/s² = 600 N ( downward )
N = - 600 N
Answer:
B ) 600 N upward.

In a lab, a student drags a shoe across the floor at constant speed. If the coefficient of static friction between the floor and
Svetllana [295]
<span>B) 0.6 N
   I suspect you have a minor error in your question. Claiming a coefficient of static friction of 0.30N is nonsensical. Putting the Newton there is incorrect. The figure of 0.25 for the coefficient of kinetic friction looks OK. So with that correction in mind, let's solve the problem. The coefficient of static friction is the multiplier to apply to the normal force in order to start the object moving. And the coefficient of kinetic friction (which is usually smaller than the coefficient of static friction) is the multiplied to the normal force in order to keep the object moving. You've been given a normal force of 2N, so you need to multiply the coefficient of static friction by that in order to get the amount of force it takes to start the shoe moving. So: 0.30 * 2N = 0.6N And if you look at your options, you'll see that option "B" matches exactly.</span>

Consider a blackbody that radiates with an intensity I1I1I_1 at a room temperature of 300K300K. At what intensity I2I2I_2 will t
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Stefan's formula

E = AσT⁴

When T = 300

I₁ = Aσ x 300⁴

When T = 400K

I₂ = Aσ x 400⁴

I₂ / I₁ = 400⁴ / 300⁴

= 256 / 81

= 3.16

I₂ = 3.16 I₁ .

3. A certain wire, 3 m long, stretches by 1.2 mm when under tension of 200 N. By how much does
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The extension of the second wire is   e_2 = 0.0024 \  m =  2.4 mm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The length of the wire is L  = 3 \ m

     The elongation of the wire is  e =  1.2mm =  \frac{1.2}{1000} =  0.0012 m

        The tension is F  =  200 \ N

       The length of the second wire is  L_2   =  6 \ m

     

Generally the Young's modulus(Y) of this material is  

        Y  = \frac{stress}{strain }

Where stress =  \frac{F}{A}

    Where A is the area which is evaluated as  

           A = \pi r^2

  and   strain = \frac{extention}{length} =  \frac{e}{L}

   So

        Y  = \frac{\frac{F}{\pi r^2 } }{ \frac{e}{L}  }

Since the wire are of the same material Young's modulus(Y)  is constant

So we have  

              \frac{F * L }{r^2 e}  =  \pi * Y = constant

              F * L   =  constant   * r^2 e

Now the ration between the first and the second wire is

         \frac{F_1}{F_2}  * \frac{L_1}{L_2} =  \frac{r*2_1}{r^2}  *  \frac{e_1}{e_2}

Since tension , radius are constant

   We have

           \frac{L_1}{L_2} =   \frac{e_1}{e_2}

substituting values

          \frac{3}{6} =   \frac{0.0012}{e_2}

          0.5 e_2 =  0.0012

         e_2 = \frac{ 0.0012  }{0.5}

          e_2 = 0.0024 \  m =  2.4 mm

A pendulum of length L is suspended from the ceiling of an elevator. When the elevator is at rest the period of the pendulum is
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the pendulum falls freely the net acceleration due to gravity is zero.

As we know that the time period of simple pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of acceleration due to gravity, thus the time period becomes infinity.
