The magnitude of the force of friction is 40 N

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we just have to analyze the forces acting on the student and the scooter along the horizontal direction. We have:

- The constant pushing force forward, of magnitude F = 40 N

- The frictional force, acting backward, F_f

Since the two forces are in opposite direction, the equation of motion is

F-F_f = ma

where

m is the mass of the student+scooter

a is the acceleration

However, here the scooter is moving at constant speed: this means that its acceleration is zero, so

a = 0

And therefore,

F - F_f = 0\\F_f = F

which means that the magnitude of the force of friction is also equal to 40 N.

Why don’t we feel the gravitational force of a large object such as a skyscraper semi-truck?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Se the explanation below

Explanation:

We do not feel these forces of these bodies, because they are very small compared to the force of Earth's attraction. Although its mass is greater than that of a human being, its mass is not compared to the Earth's mass. In order to understand this problem we will use numerical data and the universal gravitation formula, to give validity to the explanation.

<u>Force exerted by the Earth on a human being</u>

<u />

F=G*\frac{m_{1}*m_{2}}{r^2}

Where:

G = universal gravitation constant = 6.673*10^-11 [N*m^2/kg^2]

m1 = mass of the person = 80 [kg]

m2 = mass of the earth 5.97*10^24[kg]

r = distance from the center of the earth to the surface or earth radius = 6371 *10^3 [m]

<u />

Now replacing we have

F = 6.673*10^{-11} *\frac{80*5.97*10^{24}}{(6371*10^{3})^{2}  } \\F = 785[N]

<u>Force exerted by a building on a human being</u>

<u />

Where:

G = universal gravitation constant = 6.673*10^-11 [N*m^2/kg^2]

m1 = mass of the person = 80 [kg]

m2 = mass of the earth 300000 [ton] = 300 *10^6[kg]

r = distance from the building to the person = 2[m]

F = 6.673*10^{-11}*\frac{80*300*10^6}{2^{2} }  \\F= 0.4 [N]

As we can see the force exerted by the Earth is 2000 times greater than that exerted by a building with the proposed data.

In a football game, a 90 kg receiver leaps straight up in the air to catch the 0.42 kg ball the quarterback threw to him at a vi
irinina [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the conservation of momentum. Mathematically this can be expressed as

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Where,

m_{1,2}= Mass of each object

v_{1,2} = Initial velocity of each object

v_f= Final Velocity

Since the receiver's body is static for the initial velocity we have that the equation would become

m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

(0.42)(21) = (90+0.42)v_f

v_f = 0.0975m/s

Therefore the velocity right after catching the ball is 0.0975m/s

Why is the electromagnetic spectrum called a spectrum?
Doss [256]

Answer & Explanation:

Scientists call them all electromagnetic radiation. The waves of energy are called electromagnetic (EM) because they have oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Scientists classify them by their frequency or wavelength, going from high to low frequency (short to long wavelength).

A positively charged particle 1 is at the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system, and there are no other charged objects nearby
8090 [49]

Answer:

P=(2 nm, 8mn)

Explanation:

Given :

Position of positively charged particle at origin, O=(0\ nm,0\ nm)

Position of desired magnetic field, D\equiv(1\ nm,8\ nm)

Magnitude of desired magnetic field, E=0\ N.C^{-1}

Let q be the positive charge magnitude placed at origin.

<u>We know the distance between the two Cartesian points is given as:</u>

d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}

<u>For the electric field effect to be zero at point D we need equal and opposite field at the point.</u>

\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{q}{r^2 } =\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{q}{r^2 }

\therefore (1-0)^2+(8-0)^2=r^2

r^2=65\ nm

r=\sqrt{65}

as we know that the electric field lines emerge radially outward of a positive charge so the second charge will be at equally opposite side of the  given point.

assuming that the second charge is placed at (x,y) nano-meters.

Therefore,

x=2\times 1=2\ nm

and

y=2\times 8=16\ nm
