<span>A free body diagram is a representation of how the forces that are acting on a point or particle interact. You place your point at the origin and then draw your forces.

Answer:

The purpose of a free body diagram is to make  a visual representation of all the forces acting on an object.

In a free-body diagram, the object is represented at the centre; every force acting on the object is represented as an arrow, starting from the centre of the object, and with a length proportional to the magnitude of the force and direction equal to the direction of the corresponding force.

How do the wavelengths of electromagnetic energy absorbed by materials on earth compare?
Dmitrij [34]

Explanation:

The shorter wavelength electromagnetic waves from sun are absorbed by earth material in form of short wavelength and the radiated wavelength are longer ones. Also higher energy waves are of shorter wavelength and lower energy waves have longer wavelength. So, they are absorbed as short wavelength and radiated back as long wavelength.

Two 4.0 kg masses are 1.0 m apart on a frictionless table. Each has 1.0 μC of charge.What is the magnitude of the electric force
xeze [42]

Coulomb's law:

  Force = (<span>8.99×10⁹ N m² / C²<span>) · (charge₁) · (charge₂) / distance²

            = (</span></span><span>8.99×10⁹ N m² / C²<span>) (1 x 10⁻⁶ C) (1 x 10⁻⁶ C)  / (1.0 m)²

            = (8.99×10⁹ x 1×10⁻¹² / 1.0)  N

            =      8.99×10⁻³  N

            =        0.00899 N repelling.

Notice that there's a lot of information in the question that you don't need.
It's only there to distract you, confuse you, and see whether you know
what to ignore.

-- '4.0 kg masses';  don't need it. 
   Mass has no effect on the electric force between them.

-- 'frictionless table';  don't need it.
   Friction has no effect on the force between them,
only on how they move in response to the force.

During a workout, the football players at State U ran up the stadium stairs in 61 s. The stairs are 130 m long and inclined at a
NeTakaya

Answer:

  P = 1097 Watt

Explanation:

given,

length of stairs, L = 130 m

inclination with horizontal,θ = 30°

mass of the football player = 105 Kg

time = 61 s

we know,

Power = \dfrac{work}{time}

Work = change in Potential energy

 h = L sin 30°

 h = 130 x 0.5

 h = 65 m

W = m g h

W = 105 x 9.8 x 65

W = 66885 J

now,

P = \dfrac{66885}{61}

  P = 1097 Watt

hence, the power output on the way is 1097 W

A car is traveling at 15m/s on a horizontal road. the brakes are applied and the car skids to a stop in 4.0s . the coefficient o
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

the coefficient of Kinetic friction between the tires and road is 0.38

Option A) .38 is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given that;

final velocity v = 0

initial velocity u = 15m/s

time taken t = 4 s

acceleration  a = ?

from the equation of motion        

v   =   u   +   at

we substitute

0 = 15 + a × 4

acceleration a = -15/4 =  - 3.75 m/s²    

the negative sign tells us that its a  deacceleration so the sign can be ignored.

Deacceleration due to friction a = μ × g

we substitute

3.75 = μ × 9.8    

μ = 3.75 / 9.8 = 0.3826 ≈ 0.38

Therefore the coefficient of Kinetic friction between the tires and road is 0.38

Option A) .38 is the correct answer
