Answer: 4.9 N

Explanation:

Weight $W$ is the force that gravity exerts on matter and changes depending on where the body is located. This means, the weight of an object on Earth will not be the same as the weight of the same object on the Moon or on Mars.

Well, in the case of Galileo, he performed his experiment on Earth. Hence, the acceleration due gravity is $g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ .

In addition, weight is mathematically expressed as:

$W=m.g$

Where $m=5 kg$ is the mass of the ball

Solving the equation:

$W=(5 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})$

$W=4.9 N$ This is the weight of the ball

(A) We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states:
$V=IR$
where
V is the potential difference across the electrical device
I is the current through the device
R is its resistance
For the heater coil in the problem, we know $V=220 V$ and $R=220 \Omega$ , therefore we can rearrange Ohm's law to find the current through the device:
$I= \frac{V}{R}= \frac{220 V}{220 \Omega}=1 A$

(B) The resistance of a conductive wire depends on three factors. In fact, it is given by:
$R= \rho \frac{L}{A}$
where
$\rho$ is the resistivity of the material of the wire
L is the length of the wire
A is the cross-sectional area of the wire
Basically, we see that the longer the wire, the larger its resistance; and the larger the section of the wire, the smaller its resistance.

A transformer is to be used to provide power for a computer disk drive that needs 6.0 V (rms) instead of the 120 V (rms) from th

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

$N_{2}$ =20 turns

Explanation:

The given case is a step down transformer as we need to reduce 120 V to 6 V.

number of turns on primary coil N_{P}= 400

current delivered by secondary coil I_{S}= 500 mA

output voltage = 6 V (rms)

we know that

$I_{p}=\frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}\times I_{s}}$

putting values we get

$I_{p}=\frac{6}{120\times 0.5}$

$I_{p}= 0.1 A$

to calculate number of turns in secondary

$\frac{N_{2}}{400} =\frac{6}{120}$

therefore, $N_{2}$ =20 turns

Answer:

Fx = -9.15 N
Fy = 1.72 N
F∠γ ≈ 9.31∠-10.6°

Explanation:

You apparently want the sum of forces ...

F = 8.80∠-56° +7.00∠52.8°

Your angle reference is a bit unconventional, so we'll compute the components of the forces as ...

f∠α = (-f·cos(α), -f·sin(α))

This way, the 2nd quadrant angle that has a negative angle measure will have a positive y component.

= -8.80(cos(-56°), sin(-56°)) -7.00(cos(52.8°), sin(52.8°))

≈ (-4.92090, 7.29553) +(-4.23219, -5.57571)

≈ (-9.15309, 1.71982)

The resultant component forces are ...

Fx = -9.15 N
Fy = 1.72 N

Then the magnitude and direction of the resultant are

F∠γ = (√(9.15309² +1.71982²))∠arctan(-1.71982/9.15309)

F∠γ ≈ 9.31∠-10.6°

A distance of 1.0 meter separates the centers of

professor190 [17]

Neither set of choices is correct.

If the distance is tripled, then the forces decrease to

1/9 Fg. and. 1/9 Fe.

Note. When the objects are charged, the gravitational force Fg can almost always be ignored, since Fe is like 10^40 greater when the quantities of mass and charge are similar.
