The answer is : B. The compass will spin exactly 360 Degrees
Compass will point out to the earth's magnetic field. If we change the direction of the current , we created an effect which make the compass detect the magnetic field in the exact opposite direction, that is why it will flip exactly 180 degrees
It is by gaining! I just learned this in school. Hope this helps:)
Given
Weight of the block A, Wa = 20 lb, weight of block B Wb = 50 lb. Applied
force to block A, P = 6lb, coefficient of static friction µs = 0.4, coefficient
of kinetic friction µk = 0.3. If a force P
is applied to the body, no relative motion will take place until the applied
force is equal to the force of friction Ff, which is acting opposite to the
direction of motion. Magnitude of static force of friction between block A and
block B, Fs = µsN, where N is
reaction force acting on block A. Now, resolve the forces Fx = max. P = (mA +
mB)a,
6 = (20 / 32.2 + 50 / 32.2)a
2.173a = 6
A = 2.76 ft/s^2
To check slipping occurs between block A and block B, consider block A:
P – Ff = mAaA
6 – Ff = 1.71
Ff = 4.29 lb
And also,
N = wA. We know static friction,
Fs = µsN
Fs = 0.4 x 20
Fs = 8lb
Frictional force is less than static friction. Ff < Fs
<span>Therefors, acceleration of block A, aA = 2.76 ft/s^2, acceleration of
block B aB = 2.76 ft/s^2</span>
Newton's second law states that Fnet = ma, where Fnet is the net force applied, m is the mass of the object, and a is the object's acceleration. You have the values for Fnet and a, so you simply use this equation to solve for m, mass.
