When considering work, we always take the force directed along the axis of motion (in this case, the horizontal axis). If 40% of the force is directed downward, then 60% of the force is being directed horizontally, so the horizontal force is 250*0.6 = 150N. Work = Force * distance = 150N * 6.2m = 930J

The best way to study young stars hidden behind interstellar dust clouds would be to use
Ainat [17]

Answer: Infrared light

Explanation:

Infrared light is an electromagnetic radiation which has longer wavelength than visible light.

cool and faint objects are difficult to be detected using visible light.

Infrared light can pass through dust and clouds of gases. Thus, it is the best way to study the young stars hidden behind interstellar dust clouds.

Label these as balanced or unbalanced:
kvasek [131]

Answer:

  1. A book lying on a table  - Balanced force
  2. An airplane cruising in level flight  - Balanced
  3. A rock falling from a cliff  - Unbalanced force
  4. A bridge collapsing in an earthquake  -  Unbalanced force
  5. A man sitting on a park bench  - Balanced force
  6. A space shuttle taking off  - Unbalanced force
  7. A car maintaining a constant speed on a straight road  - Balanced force
  8. An airplane landing - Unbalanced force

Explanation:

Usually, one or more forces act on a body at an instant of time. When these forces acting on a body and bring the body in the equilibrium position, the force is said to be balanced. The unbalanced force changes the equilibrium state of the body.

As in the case of an airplane cruising in a level flight, the weight of the plane will be equal to the lift force and the thrust is equal to the drag. So the plane is experiencing a balanced force.

A transformer connected to a 120-v(rms) at line is to supply 13,000V(rms) for a neon sign.
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

(a) 108

(b) 110.500 kW

(c) 920.84 A

Solution:

As per the question:

Voltage at primary, V_{p} = 120\ V          (rms voltage)

Voltage at secondary, V_{s} = 13000\ V  (rms voltage)

Current in the secondary, I_{s} = 8.50\ mA  

Now,

(a) The ratio of secondary to primary turns is given by the relation:

\frac{N_{s}}{N_{p}} = \frac{V_{s}}{V_{s}}

where

N_{p} = No. of turns in primary

N_{s} = No. of turns in secondary

\frac{N_{s}}{N_{p}} = \frac{13000}{120} ≈ 108

(b) The power supplied to the line is given by:

Power, P = V_{s}I_{s} = 13000\times 8.50 = 110.500\ kW

(c) The current rating that the fuse should have is given by:

\frac{V_{s}}{V_{p}} = \frac{I_{p}}{I_{s}}

\frac{13000}{120} = \frac{I_{p}}{8.50}

I_{p} = \frac{13000}{120}\times 8.50 = 920.84\ A

True or false: (a) Maxwell's equations apply only to fields that are constant over time.(b) The wave equation can be derived fro
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

(a) False

(b) True

(c) True

(d) True

(e) True

(f) True

Explanation:

(a) Maxwell's equations not only applies to constant fields but it applies to both the fields, i.e., Time variant field as well as Time Invariant field.

(b) We make use of the Modified form of the Ampere's law and Faraday's Law to derive the wave equation.

(c) Electromagnetic waves contains both the electric and magnetic fields and these fields oscillates at an angle of 90^{\circ}C to the direction of wave propagation.

(d) In free space both the electric and magnetic fields are in phase while considering electromagnetic waves.

(e) In free space or vacuum, the expression for the speed of light in terms of electric and magnetic field is given as:

c = \frac{E}{B}

Thus the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric and magnetic field vectors are equal to the speed of light in free space.

(f) In free space or in vacuum the energy density of the electromagnetic wave is divided equally in both the fields and hence are equal.

8) 8 resistor is connected in **parallel** with a 6 resistor. This
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The equivalent resistance of the combination is 3.42 ohms.  

Explanation:

We have,

8 ohms resistor is connected in parallel with a 6 ohms resistor. It is required to find the equivalent resistance of this combination.

For a parallel combination, the equivalent resistance is given by :

\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}

Plugging the values of R₁ and R₂, we get :

\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\R_{eq}=3.42\ \Omega

So, the equivalent resistance of the combination is 3.42 ohms.
