Explain why your weight would be less in the moon than on earth even though your mass would not change. Use the law of universal

gravitation in your explanation.

Your weight would be less because gravity causes it to do so. your mass would not change because you are still made up of the same amount of mass.

PS. I couldn't use the law of universal gravitation sorry!

A proton moves with a velocity of v with arrow = (4î − 6ĵ + k) m/s in a region in which the magnetic field is B with arrow = (î

nalin [4]

Answer:

F = [(6.4 × 10⁻¹⁹)î + (8.0 × 10⁻¹⁹)ĵ + (22.4 × 10⁻¹⁹)k] N

Magnitude of F = (2.466 × 10⁻¹⁸) N

Explanation:

The magnetic force, F, on a given charge, q, moving with velocity, v, in a magnetic field, B, is given as the vector product

F = qv × B

where v = (4î − 6ĵ + k) m/s

B = (î + 2ĵ − k) T

The particle is a proton, hence,

q = (1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹) C

F = qv × B = q (v × B)

(v × B) is given as (4î − 6ĵ + k) × (î + 2ĵ − k)

The cross product is evaluated as a determinant of

| î ĵ k |

|4 -6 1 |

|1 2 -1 |

î [(-6)(-1) - (2)(1)] - ĵ [(4)(-1) - (1)(1)] + k [(4)(2) - (-6)(1)]

î (6 - 2) - ĵ (-4 - 1) + k (8 + 6) = (4î + 5ĵ + 14k)

(v × B) = (4î + 5ĵ + 14k)

F = q (v × B) = (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹) (4î + 5ĵ + 14k)

F = [(6.408 × 10⁻¹⁹)î + (8.01 × 10⁻¹⁹)ĵ + (22.428 × 10⁻¹⁹)k] N

Magnitude of F =

√[(6.408 × 10⁻¹⁹)² + (8.01 × 10⁻¹⁹)² + (22.428 × 10⁻¹⁹)²]

Magnitude of F = (2.466 × 10⁻¹⁸) N

Hope this Helps!!!

An object of volume 0.0882 m3 is

vfiekz [6]

The density of the fluid is 776.3 $m^{-3}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Buoyant force is the upward pushing force whenever an object is trying to get immersed in fluid. So this is the force given by the fluid on the object which is trying to get immersed. The buoyant force is found to be directly proportional to the product of density of the object, volume of the object. And here the acceleration due to gravity will be acting as proportionality constant.

$Buoyant force = Density \times Volume \times Acceleration$

As, buoyant force is given as 671 N and volume is 0.0882 $m^{3}$ and acceleration is known as 9.8 m/ $s^{2}$ . Then density is

$\text { Density }=\frac{\text { Buoyant force }}{\text {Volume } \times \text {Acceleration}}$

Thus,

$\text { Density }=\frac{671}{0.0882 \times 9.8}=\frac{671}{0.86436}=776.296 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$

Density is 776.3 kg $m^{-3}$ .

What is friction and explain

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Friction is the force you get when you (for example) Rub something with another, it's a force that may generate heat and even some resistance. Another example is rubbing your hands together, they get hot, therefore friction is working, without friction you wouldn't be able to stop moving.

A 90 kg man stands in a very strong wind moving at 17 m/s at torso height. As you know, he will need to lean in to the wind, and

victus00 [196]

Answer:

a) $t=195.948N.m$

b) $\phi=13.6 \textdegree$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Density $\rho=1.225kg/m^2$

Velocity of wind $v=14m/s$

Dimension of rectangle:50 cm wide and 90 cm

Drag coefficient $\mu=2.05$

a)

Generally the equation for Force is mathematically given by

$F=\frac{1}{2}\muA\rhov^2$

$F=\frac{1}{2}2.05(50*90*\frac{1}{10000})*1.225*17^2$

$F=163.29$

Therefore Torque

$t=F*r*sin\theta$

$t=163.29*1.2*sin90$

$t=195.948N.m$

b)

Generally the equation for torque due to weight is mathematically given by

$t=d*Mg*sin90$

Where

$d=sin \phi$

Therefore

$t=sin \phi*Mg*sin90$

$195.948=833sin \phi$

$\phi=sin^{-1}\frac{195.948}{833}$

$\phi=13.6 \textdegree$
