Given that,

Weight of man, W= 650 N

Upward force by elevator, F= 620 N

a = ?

Since,

W = mg

m= W/g =650/9.81

m = 66.25 kg

Since,

F = ma

a = F/m

a = 620/66.25

a = 9.35 m/s²

Acceleration will be 9.35 m/s².

Since the force is in upward direction, it will accelerate the body in upward direction.

Answer:Man's acceleration is 0.452 \frac{m}{s^{2}} in downward direction

Explanation:

<em>Weight of man, W= 650 N</em>

<em>Normal force exerted by floor of elevator , N= 620 N</em>

<em>Since weight , W = mg</em>

<em>mass m= \frac{W}{g}=\frac{650}{9.8}kg</em>

<em>Using Newtons 2nd law</em>

<em>W-N= ma     where a= acceleration of man in the downward direction</em>

=> 650-620=\frac{650}{9.8}kg\times a

=> a= 0.452 \frac{m}{s^{2}} <em>in downward direction </em>

For these two questions, first you need to know that the voltage across each branch of a parallel circuit is the same.

So, for Q5, we can first find out the voltage across R₂ by V=IR.

Voltage across R₂ = 2.5 × 8 = 20V

Since R₂ and R₃ are in parallel circuit, their voltage should be the same. Thus, voltage across R₃ is 20V.

So, by V=IR,

current of R₃ = \frac{20}{4} = 5A

Q6. voltage across R₁ = 2 × 4 = 8V

∴voltage across R₂ = 8V

current of R₂ = \frac{8}{8} = 1A

<h3><u>Alternative method</u></h3>

From these two examples, you can find out that the current of each branch of the parallel circuit is inversely proportional to the resistance of the branch.

ie. for Q5,

\frac{R2}{R3} = \frac{I3}{I2}

\frac{8}{4} = \frac{I3}{2.5}

I₃ = 5A

Q6. \frac{R1}{R2} = \frac{I2}{I1}

\frac{4}{8} = \frac{I2}{2}

I₂ = 1A

  • Sugar is soluble in water

  • Corn syrup is also basically a sugar.
  • It will dissolve in water too .
  • If we shake the mixture in glass then corn syrup will be dissolved.

<u>O</u><u>i</u><u>l</u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Oil is not soluble in water
  • Hence it won't dissolve in water.
  • It will float over water and make two layers

The magnetic field is 0.0 2M from the wire is 0.1 T what is the magnitude of the magnetic field 0.0 1M from the same wire
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

0.2 T

Explanation:

Magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance from wire since the distance is halved therefore magnetic field will be doubled.
