Scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon. It doesn't explain why the phenomenon exists or what causes it. The explanation of a phenomenon is called a scientific theory. It is a misconception that theories turn into laws with enough research.

Suppose the displacement x of another object is related to time t according to x = A sin(2nft), where A and f are constants. Wha
Korolek [52]

Answer:

C. L

Explanation:

Given that

Displacement of the object is given as

x = A sin(2 n f t)

We know that

Quantity                          Dimensions

Length/Amplitude                  L

Distance /Displacement     L

Time                                     T

Velocity                               LT⁻¹

Acceleration                       LT⁻²

Area                                    L²

Mass                                   M

Frequency                         T⁻¹

Given that x is the displacement that is why the dimensions of the displacement will be L.

Now by balancing the dimensions both sides ,the dimensions of the A will be L.

C. L

An electron, moving south, enters a uniform magnetic field. Because of this uniform magnetic field, the electron curves upward.
Flura [38]

Answer:

Towards the west

Explanation:

Magnetic force is the interaction between a moving charged particle and a magnetic field.

Magnetic force is given as

F = q (V × B)

Where F is the magnetic force

q is the charge

V is the velocity

B is the magnetic field

V×B means the cross product of the velocity and the magnetic field

NOTE:

i×i=j×j×k×k=0

i×j=k.  j×i=-k

j×k=i.  k×j=-i

k×i=j.  i×k=-j

So, if the electron is moving southward, then, it implies that the velocity of it motion is southward, so the electron is in the positive z-direction

Also, the electron is curved upward due to the magnetic field, this implies that the force field is directed up in the positive y direction.

Then,

V = V•k

F = F•j

Then, apply the theorem

F •j = q ( V•k × B•x)

Let x be the unknown

From vector k×i =j.

This shows that x = i

Then, the magnetic field point in the direction of positive x axis, which is towards the west

You can as well use the Fleming right hand rule

The thumb represent force

The index finger represent velocity

The middle finger represent field

Alex is asked to move two boxes of books in contact with each other and resting on a frictionless floor. He decides to move them
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

2.8 N

Explanation:

Fp = 7.7 N

mA = 12.1 kg

mB = 7 kg

Let a be the acceleration and Fc be the contact force between A and B.

By the free body diagram, use Newton's second law

Fp - Fc = mA x a ..... (1)

Fc = mB x a ..... (2)

Adding both the equations

Fp = (mA + mB) x a

7.7 = (12.1 + 7) x a

a = 0.4 m/s^2

Substitute this value in equation (2), we get

Fc = 7 x 0.4 = 2.8 N

Thus, the contact force between the two blocks is 2.8 N.
