A 4 kg textbook sits on a desk. It is pushed horizontally with a 50 N applied force against a 15 N frictional force.
1 answer:
Answer:
b) No acceleration in the vertical
c) 35N
d) 35N
e)
Explanation:
a) The situation can be shown in the free body diagram shown in the figure below where F is the applied force, Fr is the friction force, W is the weight of the book and N is the normal force exerted vertically up from the desk to the book
b) The vertical movement is restrained by the normal force which opposes to the weight. In absence of any other force, they both are in equilibrium and the net force is zero
c) The net horizontal force acting on the book is the vectorial sum of the applied force and the friction force. Since they lie in the same axis and are opposed to each other:
d) The net force acting on the book is the vector sum of all forces in all axes. The normal and the weight cancel each other in the y-axis, so our resulting force is the x-axis net force, computed as above:
in the x-axis
e) Following Newton's second law, the acceleration is calculated as

Answer:
The specific question is not stated, however the general idea is given in the attached picture. The electric field in each region can be found by Gauss’ Law.
at r < R:
Since the solid sphere is conducting, the total charge Q is distributed over the surface, and the electric field inside the sphere is zero.
E = 0.
at R < r < 2R:
The electric field can be found by Gauss’ Law as in the attachment. The green pencil shows this exact region.
at 2R < r:
The electric field can again be found by Gauss’ Law, the blue pencil shows the calculations for this region.
Explanation:
Gauss’ Law is straightforward when applied to spheres. The area of the sphere is , and the enclosed charge is given in the question as Q for the inner sphere, and 2Q for the whole system.
Answer and Explanation:
with reference to Einstein's theory of special relativity, the speed of an electromagnetic radiation, here, laser will not change in any inertial frame or remains same irrespective of any change in inertial frame.
Therefore, the speed of light measured in both the cases, i.e., in astronaut's reference frame and spaceship's reference frame will be equal to the speed of light in vacuum, i.e., .
The laser gun's speed in astronaut's reference frame is the same as the speed of the spaceship as it mounted on it, i.e., the speed of the laser gun is 200 million m/s.
The laser gun's speed measured in spaceship's reference frame will be zero, as it is mounted on the spaceship and is stationary in the spaceship's reference frame.
