In short-track speed skating, the track has straight sections and semi-circles 16 m in diameter. Assume that a 66 kg skater goes

around the turn at a constant 12 m/s.
A. What is the horizontal force on the skater?
B. What is the ratio of this force to the skater's weight?

Answer:

a. 1,188 N

b. 1.836

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. For horizontal force, first we need to find out the circular path radius which is shown below:

As we know that

r = \frac{d}{2}

= \frac{16}{2}

= 8m

Now the horizontal force is

F = \frac{m\times v^2}{r}

where,

m = 66 kg

v = 12 m/s

and r = 8 m

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the horizontal force is

F = \frac{66\times 12^2}{8}

= 1,188 N

b. Now the ratio of force to the weight of skater is

= \frac{1,188 N}{66\ kg \times 9.8m/s^{2}}

= 1.836

How can we calculate the e.m.f of the battery?.
cluponka [151]

Explanation:

The emf is equal to the work done on the charge per unit charge (ϵ=dWdq) when there is no current flowing. Since the unit for work is the joule and the unit for charge is the coulomb, the unit for emf is the volt (1V=1J/C).

Charged beads are placed at the corners of a square in the various configurations shown in
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The consecutive charge configuration has a more intense field than alternating

Explanation:

In each corner we place a different account there are only two different settings, see attached.

In the case of alternating charging (+ - + -) see diagram 1, the electric field in the center is canceled in pairs, resulting in a zero field

In the case of consecutive loads (+ + - -) in this case we have a result between the two charges, therefore the total field is

          E = 2 k q / ra2 a cos 45

The consecutive charge configuration has a more intense field than alternating
