A famous physics tale is about a rich man who was found dead. He was

1 answer:

<h2>Answer: C) He could have thrown the bag of money sideways, creating a horizontal reaction force on himself.</h2>

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, when two bodies interact between them, appear equal forces and opposite senses in each of them.

To understand it better:

Each time a body or object exerts a force on a second body or object, it (the second body) will exert a force of equal magnitude and direction but in the opposite direction on the first.

So, if the rich man had pushed the bag of money horizontally opposite of where he was, he could have saved himself.

Object's velocity change

the definition of acceleration in kinematics, allows to find that the correct answer is:

2. speed up ( acceleration)

The kinematics study the movement of the body, the acceleration is defined as the change of the speed by the time in the interval

a = Δv / t

Where the bold letters indicate vectors, a is the acceleration, v the velocity and t the time

Analyzing this expression we see that for there to be a change in velocity, there must be an acceleration of the body.

Let's analyze the different claims

1. True. If it is stopped and you start to move there is an acceleration, therefore there is a change in speed, but after you are moving the acceleration becomes zero and there is no change in speed

2. True. Whenever there is acceleration there is a change in speed

3. False. Moving slowly does not change the acceleration, therefore there is no change in speed

4. True. If you are moving and you stop at this moment there is an acceleration, therefore there is a change in speed, but after being stopped the acceleration is zero and there is no change in speed

5. False. If you change the direction at the instant of change there is an acceleration but after you go in the opposite direction there is not acceleration therefore there is no change in speed.

In conclusion using the definition of acceleration in kinematics, we can find the answer the condition for a change in velocity, the correct statement is:

2. speed up ( acceleration)

A person is lifting a heavy box using a lever. What is the purpose of the lever in this situation?

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

to reduce the force needed to lift the box and change the direction of the force

Explanation:

1. "A lever consists of a rigid bar that is able to pivot at one point. This point of rotation is known as the fulcrum. A force is applied at some point away from the fulcrum (typically called the effort)."

By this definition, we know that force is needed to lift an object using a lever.

2. "When the input and output forces are on opposite sides of the fulcrum, the lever changes the direction of the applied force. This occurs only with first-class levers. When both the input and output forces are on the same side of the fulcrum, the direction of the applied force does not change"

For example, on a sew saw, if a force is applied on one end, you on the other side/end would go up, meaning a change in direction.

3. Lastly, we know a lever is typically used to reduce work, in other words, the force needed to move something.

Basically, if we were to put a lever into an equation:

reduced force + change in direction = lever

(the expection) unless load and force are on the same side, there will be no change in direction.

For example, if you and your friend sit on the same side of a sew saw, the sew saw would not go up or down, meaning no change in direction.

So if not stated otherwise you can assume the load and force are on opposite sides. The purpose of a lever in that situation would be to reduce the force needed to lift the box and change the direction of the force.

*While reading my explanation, it may be helpful to look up a diagram containing a lever, with a load, fulcrum, and applied force.

Currents during lightning strikes can be up to 50000 A (or more!). We can model such a strike as a 47500 A vertical current perp

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

57 N

Explanation:

Force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field

B = 12 X 10⁻⁴ T

= Bil where B is magnetic field , i is current and l is length of conductor

force required = 12 x10⁻⁴ x 47500 x 1

= 57 N
