Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on an object helps in determining the weight of an object. But a place where there will be no gravity or have zero gravitational pull then it means the person will be weightless.

For example, force of gravity on moon is zero which means any object or person on moon will be weightless.

On the other hand, when a child is in the air as she plays on a trampoline then it means gravitational pull form the earth is acting on it. So, it will definitely has some weight.

Similarly, a scuba diver exploring a deep-sea wreck is under the ground where there will be force of gravity. Hence, it will also have some weight.

Thus, we can conclude that an astronaut on the Moon is the person who is weightless.

A thin Nichrome wire connected to an ammeter surrounds a region of time-varying magnetic flux, and the ammeter reads 13 amperes.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

The current would be same in both situation.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current I = 13 A

Number of turns = 23

We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of induced emf is

$\epsilon=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

For N = 1

$\epsilon=A\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

$i=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}$

Put the value of emf

$i=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}$

Now, if the number of turn is 22 , then induced emf would be

$\epsilon'=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

Then the current would be

$i'=\dfrac{\epsilon'}{NR}$

$i'=\dfrac{NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{NR}$

$i'=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}$

$i'=i$

Hence, The current would be same in both situation.

A car goes around a curve of radius r at a constant speed v. Then it goes around a curve ofradius 2r at speed 2v. What is the ce

Rainbow [258]

The centripetal force on the car as it goes around the second curve is twice that compared to the first.

What is Centripetal force?

It is the force that is necessary to keep an object moving in a curved path and that is directed inward toward the center of rotation.

The formula of Centripetal force is:

F(c) = (m* v^2) / r

Here,

At the first curve,

The curve of radius = r

The constant speed = v

At the second curve,

The car speed (v')= 2 v

The radius of the curve (r')=2 r

According to the formula of centripetal Force:

As the car goes around the second curve,

F'(c) = m*v'^2 / r'

F'(c) = m* (2*v)^2 / 2r

F'(c) = 2* F

Thus,

The centripetal force on the car as it goes around the second curve is twice that compared to the first.

Three collinear forces,F1=45N west,F2=63N east and an unknown force F3 are applied to an object.The resultant force of the three

Greeley [361]

Take east to be the positive direction. Then the resultant force from adding F₁ and F₂ is

F₁ + F₂ = (-45 N) + 63 N = 18 N

which is positive, so it's directed east.

To this we add a third force F₃ such that the resultant is 12 N pointing west, making it negative, so that

18 N + F₃ = -12 N

F₃ = -30 N

So F₃ has a magnitude of 30 N and points west.

If a trapezoidal channel has side slopes of 1:1, hydraulic depth is 5 feet, the bottom width is 8 feet, flow is 2,312 cubic feet

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

$S = \dfrac{1}{2.5}$

Explanation:

given,

side slope = 1 : 1

hydraulic depth(y) = 5 ft

bottom width (b)= 8 ft

x = 1

Q = 2,312 ft³/s

n = 0.013

slope of channel = ?

$R = \dfrac{A}{P}$

$R = \dfrac{y(b + xy)}{b+2y\sqrt{1+x^2}}$

$R = \dfrac{5(8+ 5)}{8+2\times 5\sqrt{1+1^2}}$

R = 4.69 m

using manning's equation

$Q = \dfrac{1}{n}AR^{2/3} S^{1/2}$

$2312= \dfrac{1}{0.013}\times (5(8+5))\times 4.69^{2/3} S^{1/2}$

$2312=14009.37\times S^{1/2}$

S = 0.406

$S = \dfrac{1}{2.5}$

could anyone determinate the period knowing that it performs 4000 vibrations in 0.5 minutes, Sorry my english is bad

dexar [7]

Answer:

f = 4000 / 30 sec = 133.3 vibrations/sec

P = 1 / f = .0075 sec period of 1 vibration
