Answer:

a. the book is exerting force down on the shelf (due to gravity) while the shelf is exerting force back up at the book.

b. when the soccer player kicks the ball, this is applied force. As the ball soars through the air and lands on the ground, the friction ends the movement of the ball.

c. the compass detects the Earth's natural magnetic feild. This force is non contact, since there is no physical touch between magnetic feilds and the compass.

d. when the child is just sitting on the hill on the sled, this is a contact force. The child is pushing down on the sled and the sled pushes back at the child. When he or she slides off down the hill, this contact force is put to a stop due to friction.

Spiders may "tune" strands of their webs to give an enhanced response at frequencies corresponding to the frequencies at which d

Bingel [31]

Answer:

0.0000167283525619 N

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Density of silk = 1300 kg/m³

d = Diameter = 0.002 mm

r = Radius = 0.001 mm

l = Length = 16 cm

f = Frequency = 200 Hz

Mass of the string is

$m=\rho V\\\Rightarrow m=\rho Al\\\Rightarrow m=1300\times \pi (0.001\times 10^{-3})^2\times 0.16\\\Rightarrow m=6.5345127195\times 10^{-10}\ kg$

Frequency is given by

$f=\dfrac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{m/l}}\\\Rightarrow T=4lf^2m\\\Rightarrow T=4\times 0.16\times 200^2\times 6.5345127195\times 10^{-10}\\\Rightarrow T=0.0000167283525619\ N$

The tension on the string is 0.0000167283525619 N

A 35-mm single lens reflex (SLR) digital camera is using a lens of focal length 35.0 mm to photograph a person who is 1.80 m tal

olganol [36]

Answer:

a) 35.44 mm

b) 17.67 mm

Explanation:

u = Object distance = 3.6 m

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 35 mm

$h_u$ = Object height = 1.8 m

a) Lens Equation

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{35}-\frac{1}{3600}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{713}{25200} \\\Rightarrow v=\frac{25200}{713}=35.34\ mm$

The CCD sensor is 35.34 mm from the lens

b) Magnification

$m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow m=-\frac{35.34}{3600}$

$m=\frac{h_v}{h_u}\\\Rightarrow -\frac{35.34}{3600}=\frac{h_v}{1800}\\\Rightarrow h_v=-\frac{35.34}{3600}\times 1800=-17.67\ mm$

The person appears 17.67 mm tall on the sensor
