Yes. Definitely the answer to this question defies the common sense of a layman in physics. However, common sense and intuition may lead you astray from the scientific path.

A fixed electric space heater wired by a cable with an ampacity of 30 A should draw a maximum current of A. 30 A. B. 24 A. C. 15
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: The correct answer is option (A).

Explanation

Ampacity is defined as the maximum amount of the current carried by the conductor continuously without exceeding its temperature rating.

The ampacity of the wire of the heater is 30 A .And this means that wire is capable of conducting current of maximum amount of 30 Ampere through it without exceeding its temperature rating.

Hence, the correct answer is option is (A).

A book starts on a shelf 1 m off of the ground. You then move the book to a higher shelf that is 3 m off of the ground. If the s
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Using g = 9.8: 1.02 kg, Using g = 10: 1 kg

Explanation:

E = mgh

20 = m(9.8)(3 - 1)

20 = 9.8m(2)

20 = 19.6m

m = 1.02 kg

I'm now assuming you may be using a g constant of 10, thus the close integer result, in which case the mass would be exactly 1 kilogram.

Two titanium spheres approach each other head-on with the same speed and collide elastically. After the collision, one of the sp
Thepotemich [5.8K]
I know i did part a correctly. heres what i did: momentum is conserved: m1 * u - m2 * u = m2 * v or (m1 - m2) * u = m2 * v Also, for an elastic head-on collision, we know that the relative velocity of approach = relative velocity of separation (from conservation of energy), or, for this problem, 2u = v Then (m1 - m2) * u = m2 * 2u m1 - m2 = 2 * m2 m1 = 3 * m2 m1 is the sphere that remained at rest (hence its absence from the RHS), so m2 = 0.3kg / 3 m2 = 0.1 kg b) this part confuses me, heres what i did (m1 - m2) * u = m2 * v (.3kg - .1kg)(2.0m/s) = .1kg * v .4 kg = .1 v v = 4 m/s What my teacher did: (.3g - .1g) * 2.0m/s = (.3g + .1g) * v I understand the left hand side but i dont get the right hand side. Why is m1 added to m2 when m1 is at rest which makes its v = zero?? v = +1.00m/s since the answer is positive, what does that mean? Also, if v was -1.00m/s what would that mean? thanks!

horizontal clothesline is tied between 2 poles, 14 meters apart. When a mass of 3 kilograms is tied to the middle of the clothes
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The tension is  T =  103.96N

Explanation:

The free body diagram of the question is shown on the first uploaded image From the question we are told that

           The distance between the two poles is D =14 m

          The mass tied between the two cloth line is  m = 3Kg

         The distance it sags is d_s = 1m

The objective of this solution is to obtain the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the  clothesline

Now the sum of the forces on the y-axis is zero assuming  that the whole system is at equilibrium

       And this can be mathematically represented as

                             \sum F_y = 0

 To obtain \theta we apply SOHCAHTOH Rule

 So    Tan \theta = \frac{opp}{adj}

          \theta = tan^{-1} [\frac{opp}{adj} ]

            = tan^{-1} [\frac{1}{7}]

          =8.130^o

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2T sin\theta -mg =0

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T =\frac{mg}{2 sin\theta}

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T = \frac{3 * 9.8 }{2 sin \theta }

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \  T =\frac{29.4}{2sin(8.130)}

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \  T = 103.96N
