The correct answer is B. 24 N.

To figure out the exact force the cart exerts on the woman, we have to use Newton's third law of motion.  Newton's third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This means that if object  1 exerts a force on object 2 , object 2 will exert an equal but opposite force on object 1.

This law allows us to ignore the masses of the chart and the women and focus on the  pairs of forces the woman and the chart apply to each other.  Since the woman exerts a force of 24 N on the chart, the chart will exert a force of 24 N on the woman.

The correct answer is B. 24 N.

After landing on an unexplored Klingon planet, Spock tests for the direction of the magnetic field by firing a beam of electrons
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Magnetic field is in south west direction .

Explanation:

Let us represent various direction by  i , j, k . i representing east , j representing north and k representing vertically upward direction .

magnetic field is represented vectorially as follows

B = B₀ ( - i - j )

In the first case velocity of electron

v = v k

Force = q ( v x B )

= -e [ vk x B₀ ( - i - j ) ]

= evB₀ ( j -i )

Direction of force is north -west .

In the second case velocity of electron

v = vj

Force = -e [ vj x B₀ ( - i - j ) ]

= - evB₀ k

force is downward

In the third case, velocity of electron

v = v( -j +i )

Force = -e [ v( -j +i ) x B₀ ( - i - j ) ]

= 2 evB₀ k

Force is upward.

A video game includes an asteroid that is programmed to move in a straight line across a 17-inch monitor according to the equati
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The asteroid's acceleration at this point is 2.71\ m/s^2

Explanation:

The equation that governs the trajectory of asteroid is given by :

x=6.5t-2.3t^3

The velocity of asteroid is given by :

v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\\\v=\dfrac{d(6.5t-2.3t^3)}{dt}\\\\v=6.5-6.9t^2

At some point during the trip across the screen, the asteroid is at rest. It means, v = 0

So,

6.5-6.9t^2=0\\\\t=0.971\ s                      

Acceleration,

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}\\\\a=\dfrac{d(6.5-6.9t^2)}{dt}\\\\a=-13.8t                        

Put t = 0.971 s

a=-13.8\times 0.197\\\\a=-2.71\ m/s^2

So, the asteroid's acceleration at this point is 2.71\ m/s^2 and it is decelerating.

A 75kg hockey player is skating across the ice at a speed of 6.0m/s. What is the magnitude of the average force required to stop
liq [111]

Answer:

692.31 N

Explanation:

Applying,

F = ma............... Equation 1

Where F = Average force required to stop the player, m = mass of the player, a = acceleration of the player

But,

a = (v-u)/t............ Equation 2

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(v-u)/t............ Equation 3

From the question,

Given: m = 75 kg, u = 6.0 m/s, v = 0 m/s (to stop), t = 0.65 s

Substitute these values into equation 3

F = 75(0-6)/0.65

F = -692.31 N

Hence the average force required to stop the player is 692.31 N

Calculate the mass 9f the earth, assuring that uts is sphere with radius 6.67×10^6m.​
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

6.86 × 10²⁴ kg

Explanation:

The mass of the earth m = density of earth, ρ × volume of earth, V

m = ρV

The density of the earth, ρ = 5515 kg/m³ and since the earth is a sphere, its volume is the volume of a sphere V = 4πr³/3 where r = radius of the earth = 6.67 × 10⁶ m

Since m = ρV

m = ρ4πr³/3

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation for the mass of the earth, m, we have

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 4π(6.67 × 10⁶ m)³/3

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 4π × 296.741 × 10¹⁸ m³/3

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 1189.9639π × 10¹⁸ m³/3

m = 6546105.64378π × 10¹⁸ kg/3

m = 20565197.400122 × 10¹⁸ kg/3

m = 6855065.8 × 10¹⁸ kg

m = 6.8550658 × 10²⁴ kg

m ≅ 6.86 × 10²⁴ kg
