An electromagnetic wave is traveling straight down toward the center of the Earth. At a certain moment in time the electric fiel

d points west. In which direction does the magnetic field point at this moment?

Answer:

North

Explanation:

In an electromagnetic wave, the direction of the wave, the direction of the electric field and the direction of the magnetic field are all perpendicular to each other.

Therefore, we can  find the direction of the magnetic field by using the right hand rule. We have:

- Index finger: direction of motion of the wave --> toward the center of Earth

- middle finger: direction of the electric field --> west

- thumb: direction of the magnetic field --> north

So, the magnetic field points north.

Nataly_w [17]

The equilibrium condition allows finding the result for the force that the chair exerts on the student is:

  • The reaction force that the chair exerts on the student's support is equal to the student's weight.

Newton's second law gives the relationship between force, mass and acceleration of bodies, in the special case that the acceleration is is zero equilibrium condition.

            ∑ F = 0

Where F is the external force.

The free body diagram is a diagram of the forces on bodies without the details of the shape of the body, in the attached we can see a diagram of the forces.

Let's analyze the force on the chair.

            N_{chair} - W_{chair} - W_{student} = 0 \\ \\N_{chair} = W_{chair} + W_{student}

Let's analyze the forces on the student.

          N_{student} - W_{student} = 0  \\N_{student} = W _{student}

           

In conclusion using the equilibrium condition we can find the result for the force that the chair exerts on the student is:

  • The reaction force that the chair exerts on the student's support is equal to the student's weight.

A 2000-kg car moving with a speed of 20 m/s collides with and sticks to a 1500-kg car at rest at a stop sign. Show that because
amid [387]

Answer:

13.33m/s

Explanation:

Given data

m1= 2000kg

u1= 20m/s

m2= 1500kg

u2= 0m/s

v1= 10m/s

Required

The speed of the sticks

We know that  from the expression for the conservation of momentum

m1u1+m2u2= m1v1+m2v2

2000*20+1500*0=2000*10+1500*v2

40000=20000+1500v2

collect like terms

40000-20000= 1500v2

20000= 1500v2

v2= 20000/1500

v2= 13.33 m/s

Hence the velocity of the sticks is 13.33m/s

50g of ice at 0°C is mixed with 50g of water at 80°C, what will be the final temperature of a mixture in
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

0° C

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of ice, m = 50g

Mass of water, m(w) = 50g

Temperature of ice, T(i) = 0° C

Temperature of water, T(w) = 80° C

Also, it is known that

Specific heat of water, c = 1 cal/g/°C

Latent heat of ice, L(w) = 89 cal/g

Let us assume T to be the final temperature of mixture.

This makes the energy balance equation:

Heat gained by ice to change itself into water + heat gained by melted ice(water) to raise its temperature at T° C = heat lost by water to reach at T° C

m(i).L(i) + m(i).c(w)[T - 0] = m(w).c(w)[80 - T], on substituting, we have

50 * 80 + 50 * 1(T - 0) = 50 * 1(80 - T)

4000 + 50T = 4000 - 50T

0 = 100 T

T = 0° C

Thus, the final temperature is 0° C

In Ptolemy's Earth-centered model for the solar system, Venus's phase is never full as viewed from Earth because it always lies
tiny-mole [99]
<h2>Answer: in full phase</h2>

Explanation:

Galileo observed that Venus presented phases (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that <u>Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth.  </u>

This is because Venus presented <u>its smaller size when it was in full phase and the largest size when it was in the new one</u>, when it is between the Sun and the Earth.  

In other words: When Venus is in its full phase it is not possible to observe it from the Earth because always in this phase, Venus, the Sun and the Earth are in conjunction (or aligned).  This means <u>the Sun is between Venus and Earth</u>, in the orbit that both planets describe around this star.

Therefore, from the Earth, the Sun covers Venus.

This fact along with other discoveries were presented by Galileo to the Catholic Church (which supported the geocentric theory at that time) as a proof that completely refuted Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirmed Copernicus' heliocentric theory.
