Answer:

4m/s/s

Explanation:

a=f/m

m=5kg

f=20N

20/5=4

(N=kg-m/s/s)

A :-) F = ma
a = F by m
Given - F = 20 N
m = 5 kg
Solution -
a = F by m
a = 20 by 5
( cut 5 and 20 because 5 x 4 = 20 )
a = 4 m/s^2

.:. The acceleration is 4m/s^2.

A solid sphere has a radius of 0.200 m and a mass of 150.0 kg. how much work is required to get the sphere rolling with an angul

Allisa [31]

Here in this case we can use work energy theorem

As per work energy theorem

Work done by all forces = Change in kinetic Energy of the object

Total kinetic energy of the solid sphere is ZERO initially as it is given at rest.

Final total kinetic energy is sum of rotational kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy

$KE = \frac{1}{2}Iw^2 +\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

also we know that

$I = \frac{2}{5}mR^2$

$w= \frac{v}{R}$

Now kinetic energy is given by

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}mR^2)w^2 +\frac{1}{2} m(Rw)^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{5}mR^2w^2 +\frac{1}{2} mR^2w^2$

$KE = \frac{7}{10}mR^2w^2$

$KE = \frac{7}{10}*150*(0.200)^2(50)^2$

$KE = 10500 J$

Now by work energy theorem

Work done = 10500 - 0 = 10500 J

So in the above case work done on sphere is 10500 J

An object is placed perpendicular to the the principal axis of convex lens of focal length 8,the distance of the object from the

Digiron [165]

Answer:

v = 24 cm and inverted image

Explanation:

Given that,

The focal length of the object, f = +8 cm

Object distance, u = -12 cm

We need to find the position &nature of the image. Let v be the image distance. Using lens formula to find it :

$\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}$

Put all the values,

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{(-12)}\\\\v=24\ cm$

So, the image distance from the lens is 24 cm.

Magnification,

$m=\dfrac{v}{u}\\\\m=\dfrac{24}{-12}\\\\m=-2$

The negative sign of magnification shows that the formed image is inverted.

Compare how magnetic forces act through non-magnetic materials and<br>magnetic materials:

gavmur [86]

<h2>Compare how magnetic forces act through non-magnetic materials and </h2><h2>magnetic materials:</h2>

Explanation:

Magnet

• Magnet :- is an object which attracts pieces of iron, steel etc towards itself.

Some facts about magnets:-

• When magnet is freely suspended it always align towards north-south direction

• Like poles always repel & opp. poles attract each other.

• Magnet always exist as dipole

• Two poles can never be separated : if we try to cut it then still both the poles will exist even ina small piece of magnet .it automatically develops the lost polarity

Magnet always develop certain area around it where its effect can be felt ie. magnetic field.

MAGNETIC Field

is studied by drawing imaginary lines called magnetic lines of forces.

Characteristics.

• They always originate from North pole & terminate at South pole. This shows that if north pole was free is move it would have mvre towards south pole.

•Place where they are closer indicate strong M. field i.e. at poles.

•Mag. Field lines gives the direction of magnetic force.

•Two magnetic lines will never intersect each other as they give direction of force & force can’t have 2 direction at a time.

M Field lines are closed continuous curves.

This is what that happens in magnetic materials .

Non magnetic materials

Magnetic forces 'act through' non-magnetic materials
These magnetic materials can be used as a shield around a magnet.
The domain theory of magnetism tries to explain why metals get magnetised
. The magnetic elements have little molecular magnets inside them.
Magnets attract only the magnetic materials

Types of magnetic materials

Soft magnetic materials (e.g. iron) have domains that easily move into line when the metal is placed in a magnetic field but as soon as the field is removed the domains take on a random pattern again. It returns to being unmagnetized straight away.

Hard magnetic materials (e.g. steel) have domains that do not easily move into line when the metal is placed in a magnetic field, a strong field is needed for some time, but then, when the field is removed the domains retain the magnetic pattern. The metal stays magnetic for a long time.
