Answer:

The force F is created by the reaction of the Earth to the thrust of the rods, whereby the thrust is created by a force of action and reaction.

Explanation:

To answer this question, let's write Newton's second law of the two axes

Y Axis

Fy + N - W = 0

Fy + N = W

X axis

Fx - fr = 0

Fx = fr

The force F is created by the reaction of the Earth to the thrust of the rods, whereby the thrust is created by a force of action and reaction.

The direction of this force is along the length of the rods that are in an Angle, where the x and y components of the force come from

In general this force is small because the rubbing of the skis is small

A cylindrical rod of copper (E = 110 GPa, 16 × 106 psi) having a yield strength of 240 MPa (35,000 psi) is to be subjected to a

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

d= 7.32 mm

Explanation:

Given that

E= 110 GPa

σ = 240 MPa

P= 6640 N

L= 370 mm

ΔL = 0.53

Area A= πr²

We know that elongation due to load given as

$\Delta L=\dfrac{PL}{AE}$

$A=\dfrac{PL}{\Delta LE}$

$A=\dfrac{6640\times 370}{0.53\times 110\times 10^3}$

A= 42.14 mm²

πr² = 42.14 mm²

r=3.66 mm

diameter ,d= 2r

d= 7.32 mm

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Direction of the magnetic field will be in positive x direction.

The direction of the vector E X B gives the direction of motion of wave.

b ) Magnitude of magnetic field is given by the relation

E₀ / B₀ = c , c is velocity of light

B₀ = E₀ / c

= 20 / (3 x 10⁸)

= 6.67 x 10⁻⁸ T

c ) Average power flowing per unit area by this wave is called Poynting vector

c ε₀E₀² , ε₀ = 8.85X10⁻¹²

= 3 X 10⁸ X 8.85 X 10⁻¹² X 20²

= 1.062 W m⁻²

A 6.72 particle moves through a region of space where an electric field of magnitude 1270 N/C points in the positive direction,

Romashka [77]

Answer:

$v_{y} = -104 m/s$

Explanation:

Using:

Force = electric field * charge

$F=e*q$

Force = magnitude of charge * velocity * magnetic field * sin tither

$F_{x2}= |q|*v*B*sin \alpha$

Force on particle due to electric field:

$F_{x1}= E*q = (1270N/C)*(-6.72*10^{-6} ) = -8.53*10^{-3}$

Force on particle due to magnetic field:

$F_{x2}= |q|*v*B*sin \alpha = (6.72*10^{-6} )*(1.15)*(sin90)*v = (7.728*10^{-6})*(v)$

$F_{x2}$ is in the positive x direction as $F_{x1}$ is in the negative x direction while net force is in the positive x direction.

Magnetic field is in the positive Z direction, net force is in the positive x direction.

According to right hand rule, Force acting on particle is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field and velocity of particle. This would mean the force is along the y-axis. As this is a negatively charged particle, the direction of the velocity of the particle is reversed. Therefore velocity of particle, v, has to be in the negative y direction.

Now,

$F_{xnet}- F_{x1 } = F_{x2 }$

$(6.13*10^{-3}) - (8.53*10^{-3} ) = (7.728*10^{-6})*(v)$

$v = (F_{xnet} - F_{x1}) / (F_{x2} )$

$=((6.13*10^{-3} ) - (8.53*10^{-3})) / (7.728*10^{-6})$

$= (- 104.25) m/s$

$v_{y} = -104 m/s$
