Answer:

2.4 m/s^2

Downward

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of monkey=12.8 kg

Tension=156 N

We have to find the magnitude of the elevator's minimum acceleration.

T=m(g+a)

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Substitute the values

156=12.8(a+9.8)

9.8+a=\frac{156}{12.8}=12.2

a=12.2-9.8=2.4 m/s^2

Hence, the acceleration =a=2.4 m/s^2

Direction of the elevator's minimum acceleration is downward because the elevator moves downwards.

Solenoid 2 has twice the radius and six times the number of turns per unit length as solenoid 1. The ratio of the magnetic field
Xelga [282]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

The magnetic field inside a solenoid is given by the following formula:

B = \mu_{0}nI

where,

B = Magnetic Field Inside Solenoid

μ₀ = permittivity of free space

n = No. of turns per unit length

I = Current Passing through Solenoid

For Solenoid 1:

B_{1} = \mu_{0}n_{1}I  ------------------- equation 1

For Solenoid 2:

n₂ = 6n₁

Therefore,

B_{1} = \mu_{0}n_{2}I\\B_{1} = 6\mu_{0}n_{1}I  ----------------- equation 2

Diving equation 1 and equation 2:

\frac{B_{2}}{B_{1}} = \frac{6\mu_{0}nI}{\mu_{0}nI}\\\\\frac{B_{2}}{B_{1}} = 6

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>6</u>

Does the theory of relativity show that Newtonian mechanics is wrong?
valina [46]

Answer:

Einstein extended the rules of Newton for high speeds. For applications of mechanics at low speeds, Newtonian ideas are almost equal to reality. That is the reason we use Newtonian mechanics in practice at low speeds.

Explanation:

<em>But on a conceptual level, Einstein did prove Newtonian ideas quite wrong in some cases, e.g. the relativity of simultaneity. But again, in calculations, Newtonian ideas give pretty close to correct answer in low-speed regimes. So, the numerical validity of Newtonian laws in those regimes is something that no one can ever prove completely wrong - because they have been proven correct experimentally to a good approximation.</em>

A typical student listening attentively to a physics lecture has a heat output of 100 w . how much heat energy does a class of 1
nexus9112 [7]

Since each student emits 100 W, so 170 students will emit:

total heat = 100 W * 170 = 17,000 W

 

Convert minutes to seconds:

time = 50 min * (60 s / min) = 3000 s

 

The energy is therefore:

E = 17,000 W * 3000 s

<span>E = 51 x 10^6 J = 51 MJ</span>
