A block of mass m is placed on a smooth wedge of inclination θ . The whole system is accelerated horizontally so that the block

does not slip on the wedge. The force exerted by the wedge on the block has a magnitude: (A) mg tan θ (B) mg sin θ (C) mg cos θ (D) mg sec θ

Answer: mg/Cosθ

Explanation:

Taking horizontal acceleration of wedge as 'a'

FCosΘ = FsinΘ

F = mass(m) × acceleration(a) = ma

For horizontal resolution g = 0

Therefore,

Horizontal = Vertical

maCosΘ = mgSinΘ

aCosΘ = gSinΘ

a = gSinΘ/CosΘ

Recall from trigonometry :

SinΘ/Cosθ = tanΘ

Therefore,

a = gtanΘ

Normal force acing on the wedge:

mgCosΘ + maSinΘ - - - - (y)

Substitute a = gtanΘ into (y)

mgCosΘ + mgtanΘsinΘ

tanΘ = sinΘ/cosΘ

mgCosΘ + mgsinΘ/cosΘsinΘ

mgCosΘ + mgsin^2Θ/cosΘ

Factorizing

mg(Cosθ + sin^2Θ/cosΘ)

Taking the L. C. M

mg[(Cos^2θ + sin^2Θ) /Cosθ]

Recall: Cos^2θ + sin^2Θ = 1

mg[ 1 /Cosθ]

mg/Cosθ

1. You are designing a new solenoid and experimenting with material for each turn. The particular turn you are working with is a
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 ) Magnetic field due to a circular coil carrying current

= μ₀I / 2r

I is current , r is radius of the wire , μ₀ = 4π x 10⁻⁷

= 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 15 / (2 x 3.5 x 10⁻²)

= 26.9 x 10⁻⁵ T

2 )

Negative z direction .

The direction of magnetic field due to a circular coil having current is known  

with the help of screw rule or right hand thumb rule.

3 )

If we decrease the radius the magnetic field will:__increase _____.

A. Increase.

Magnetic field due to a circular coil carrying current

B = μ₀I / 2 r

Here r is radius of the coil . If radius decreases magnetic field increases.

So magnetic field will increase.

**URGENT PLEASE HELP**
nalin [4]

Answer:

This depends on what angle they are approaching each other before they collided.The two simple cases are if they are running in the same direction or opposite direction from each other. For either case, use the conservation of momentum equation to solve: M_total*V_result = M1*V1 + M2*V2

Explanation:

Here are two possible solutions.

Head-on collision: M1=78, V1=8.5, M2=72, V2=-7.5 (that's negative because he's running the other way), M_total = 78+72 = 150, so V_result = (78*8.5 - 72*7.5)/150 = 0.82 m/s. Sanity check, they weigh about the same and so most of their velocity should cancel out.

Running the same way: change the sign of V2 to positive so V_result = (78*8.5 + 72*7.5)/150 = 8.02 m/s. Sanity check, they weigh about the same and the resultant speed is between the two starting velocities.

<em>hope it helps:)</em>
