Answer:

(B) F with a line on top

Explanation:

There is no one single 'correct' way to denote a vector. Most typical is a line over the symbol: $\overline{F}$ , or an arrow over the symbol: $\vec F$ . (However, if you want to use your own vector notation, for example, by printing the symbol in bold, then that is fine, too, as long as you clearly define this upfront),

A neutral copper block is polarized as shown in the figure below, due to an electric field made by external charges (notshown).

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is j.

Explanation:

Consider the figure attached below. The net electric field at location B,that is inside the copper block is zero because when a conductor is charged or placed in an electric field of external charges, net charge lies on the surface of conductor and there is no electric field inside the conductor. As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is zero as well direction of net electric field at point B is zero.

A centrifuge in a forensics laboratory rotates at an angular speed of 3,700 rev/min. When switched off, it rotates 46.0 times be

ra1l [238]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given,

initial angular speed, ω = 3,700 rev/min

= $3700\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}=387.27\ rad/s$

final angular speed = 0 rad/s

Number of time it rotates= 46 times

angular displacement, θ = 2π x 46 = 92 π

Angular acceleration

$\alpha = \dfrac{\omega_f^2 - \omega^2}{2\theta}$

$\alpha = \dfrac{0 - 387.27^2}{2\times 92\ pi}$

$\alpha = -259.28 rad/s^2$

Skater 1 has a mass of 105.0 kg and a velocity of 2.0 m/s to the left. He

mart [117]

The final velocity of skater 1 is 3.7 m/s to the right. The right option is O A. 3.7 m/s to the right.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

Velocity can be defined as the ratio of the displacement and time of a body.

To calculate the final velocity of Skater 1 we use the formula below.

Formula:

mu+MU = mv+MV............ Equation 1

Where:

m = mass of the first skater
M = mass of the second skater
u = initial velocity of the first skater
U = initial velocity of the second skater
v = final velocity of the first skater
V = final velocity of the second skater.

make v the subject of the equation.

v = (mu+MU-MV)/m................ Equation 2

Note: Let left direction represent negative and right direction represent positive.

From the question,

Given:

m = 105 kg
u = -2 m/s
M = 71 kg
U = 5 m/s
V = -3.4 m/s.

Substitute these values into equation 2

v = [(105×(-2))+(71×5)-(71×(-3.4))]/105
v = (-210+355+241.4)/105
v = 386.4/105
v = 3.68 m/s
v ≈ 3.7 m/s

Hence, the final velocity of skater 1 is 3.7 m/s to the right. The right option is O A. 3.7 m/s to the right.

Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the Moon on a 79 kg human standing on the surface of the Moon. (Th

Luden [163]

Answer:

F= 134.92 N

Explanation:

Given that

The mass of the moon ,M = 7.4 x 10²² kg

The mass of the man ,m = 79 kg

The radius ,R= 1.7 x 10⁶ m

The force exerted by moon is given as

$F=G\dfrac{Mm}{R^2}$

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

$F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{79\times 7.4\times 10^{22}}{(1.7\times 10^6)^2}\ N\\F=134.92 N$

Therefore the force will be 134.92 N.

F= 134.92 N
