A man attempts to pick up his suitcase of weight ws by pulling straight up on the handle. However, he is unable to lift the suit

case from the floor. Which statement about the magnitude of the normal force n acting on the suitcase is true during the time that the man pulls upward on the suitcase?
a. The magnitude of the normal force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the suitcase.
b. The magnitude of the normal force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the suitcase minus the magnitude of the force of the pull.
c. The magnitude of the normal force is equal to the sum of the magnitude of the force of the pull and the magnitude of the suitcase's weight.
d. The magnitude of the normal force is greater than the magnitude of the weight of the suitcase

Answer:

b)

Explanation:

Normal force, is always directed upward the surface over which is placed the object, and can adopt any value, as required to meet Newton's 2nd Law.

In this case, as the external force on the suitcase pulls upward, in order  to counteract the influence of gravity, normal force is less than the weight of the suitcase, as follows:

F + Fn = m*g

⇒ Fn = m*g - F

So, the normal force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the suitcase (m*g) minus the magnitude of the force of the pull (F) which is the same expressed by the statement b.

Helga [31]

Answer:3.23 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

\mu_s =0.330

Frictional Force is balanced by force due to car acceleration

Frictional force F_s

F_s=ma_{min}

\mu_sN=ma_{min}

\mu_s\cdot mg=ma_{min}

a_{min}=\mu_s \cdot g=0.330\times 9.8=3.23 m/s^2

An overhead electric power line carries a maximum current of 125 A. What is the magnitude of the maximum magnetic field at a poi
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

B= 55.6×10^(-7) Tesla

Explanation:

B= μoI/(2πr)

B:  magnetic field strength

μo: permeability of free space and is equal to  4π×10^(-7) T.m/A

r: distance from the wire

I : current in the wire

B= (4π×10^(-7)×125)/(2π×4.5)

B= 55.6×10^(-7) Tesla

You are designing a flywheel. It is to start from rest and then rotate with a constant angular acceleration of 0.200 rev/s^2. Th
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

 I = 8.75 kg m

Explanation:

This is a rotational movement exercise, let's start with kinetic energy

        K = ½ I w²

They tell us that K = 330 J, let's find the angular velocity with kinematics

      w² = w₀² + 2 α θ

as part of rest w₀ = 0

      w = √ 2α θ

let's reduce the revolutions to the SI system

      θ = 30.0 rev (2π rad / 1 rev) = 60π rad

let's calculate the angular velocity

      w = √(2  0.200  60π)

      w = 8.683 rad / s

we clear from the first equation

        I = 2K / w²

let's calculate

        I = 2 330 / 8,683²

        I = 8.75 kg m

When a 5.0kg cart undergoes a 2.2m/s increase in speed, what is the impulse of the cart
Karolina [17]

Answer:

11.0 kg m/s

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on the cart is equal to its change in momentum:

I=\Delta p=m\Delta v

where

m = 5.0 kg is the mass of the cart

\Delta v=2.2 m/s is its change in speed

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

I=(5.0kg)(2.2 m/s)=11 kg m/s
