What is something that claims to be science but is not?

Two forces, F₁ and F₂, act at a point. F₁ has a magnitude of 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of 61.0° above the negative x ax

kirill115 [55]

1) -7.14 N

2) +2.70 N

3) 7.63 N

Explanation:

1)

In order to find the x-component of the resultant force, we have to resolve each force along the x-axis.

The first force is 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of 61.0° above the negative x axis in the second quadrant: this means that the angle with respect to the positive x axis is

$180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}$

so its x-component is

$F_{1x}=(8.00)(cos (180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}))=-3.88 N$

F₂ has a magnitude of 5.40 N and is directed at an angle of 52.8° below the negative x axis in the third quadrant: so, its angle with respect to the positive x-axis is

$180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}$

Therefore its x-component is

$F_{2x}=(5.40)(cos (180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}))=-3.26 N$

So, the x-component of the resultant force is

$F_x=F_{1x}+F_{2x}=-3.88+(-3.26)=-7.14 N$

2)

In order to find the y-component of the resultant force, we have to resolve each force along the y-axis.

The first force is 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of 61.0° above the negative x axis in the second quadrant: as we said previously, the angle with respect to the positive x axis is

$180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}$

so its y-component is

$F_{1y}=(8.00)(sin (180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}))=7.00 N$

F₂ has a magnitude of 5.40 N and is directed at an angle of 52.8° below the negative x axis in the third quadrant: as we said previously, its angle with respect to the positive x-axis is

$180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}$

Therefore its y-component is

$F_{2y}=(5.40)(sin (180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}))=-4.30 N$

So, the y-component of the resultant force is

$F_y=F_{1y}+F_{2y}=7.00+(-4.30)=2.70 N$

3)

The two components of the resultant force representent the sides of a right triangle, of which the resultant force corresponds tot he hypothenuse.

Therefore, we can find the magnitude of the resultant force by using Pythagorean's theorem:

$F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}$

Where in this problem, we have:

$F_x=-7.14 N$ is the x-component

$F_y=2.70 N$ is the y-component

And substituting, we find:

$F=\sqrt{(-7.14)^2+(2.70)^2}=7.63 N$

The flow of electrons through a circuit is measured in which of the following units? A. electrical pressure B. amperes C. volts

damaskus [11]

The total quantity of electrons that have flowed through a circuit is a
quantity of charge, measured in Coulombs, or in Ampere-seconds.

The <em><u>rate</u></em> of flow of electrons, or more accurately the rate of flow of
the charge on them, is electrical current. Its unit is the Ampere.
1 Ampere is 1 Coulomb of charge per second.

Why can't there be a number lower than absolute zero

nexus9112 [7]

Absolute zero is not about numbers. It's about temperature, and the
motion of molecules in gases.

You know that the temperature we feel with our skin is the result of the
average speed of all the tiny molecules zipping around or vibrating in
the solid, liquid, or gas.

The faster they're all moving, the warmer the substance feels to us.
The slower they're all moving, the cooler the substance feels to us.

When molecules slow down to zero and lose all of their kinetic energy,
that temperature is what we call 'absolute zero' ... if they're not moving
at all, then they can't move any slower.

Explain the phenomenon of polarization when a dielectric slab is subjected to an electric<br> field?

Oxana [17]

A dielectric, insulating material, or an extremely bad conductor of electrical current. Due to the absence of loosely bound, or free, electrons that could wander through the material, unlike metals, dielectrics practically do not conduct current when exposed to an electric field. Electric polarization takes place instead.

<h3>What is an Electric field?</h3>

An electric field is an electrical property associated with every point in the space of any form of charge. An electric field is also described as the electric force per unit charge.
Variable magnetic fields or electric charges are frequently the cause of electric fields. Volts per meter, a unit used in the SI, express electric field strength.
The force acting on the positive charge is assumed to be exerted in the direction of the field. The electric field is directed radially inwards toward the negative point charge and radially outwards from the positive charge.
Electric charge or magnetic fields with variable amplitudes can produce an electric field. The attraction forces that keep together atomic nuclei and electrons at the atomic scale are brought on by the electric field.

Where does friction oppose motion in a roller coaster car

Ksju [112]

In roller coasters, friction is a force that opposes motion and significantly slows the cars as they move on the track.<span> While it is easy to believe that friction is bad for the ride, it is one of the forces engineers consider in ensuring passengers have a safe ride</span>
