A 60 kg adult and a 30kg child are passengers on a rotor ride at an amusement park as shown in the diagram above. When the rotat

ing hollow cylinder reaches a certain constant speed, v, the floor moves downward. Both passengers stay "pinned" against the wall of the rotor, as shown in the diagram below.
The magnitude of the frictional force between the adult and the wall of the spinning rotor is F. What is the magnitude of the frictional force between the child and the wall of the spinning rotor?

Answer:

 fr ’= ½ F

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the translational equilibrium equation, on the axis parallel to the wall

              fr - W = 0

              fr = W

for the adult man they indicate that the friction force is equal to F

              F = M g

we write the equilibrium equation for the child

             fr ’= w’

             fr ’= m g

in the statement they tell us that the mass of the adult is 2 times the mass of the child

             M = 2m

we substitute

            fr ’= M / 2 g

            fr ’= ½ Mg

we substitute

            fr ’= ½ F

therefore the force of friction in the child is half of the friction in the adult

the refractive index of cooking oil is 1.47, and the refractive index of water is 1.33. A thick layer of cooking oil is floating
VARVARA [1.3K]
When light travels from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle after which all the light is reflected (so, there is no refraction).

The value of this critical angle can be derived by Snell's law, and it is equal to
\theta_C = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )
where n2 is the refractive index of the second medium and n1 is the refractive index of the first medium.

In our problem, n1=1.47 and n2=1.33, so the critical angle is
\theta_C = \arcsin( \frac{1.33}{1.47} )=\arcsin (0.91)=65^{\circ}

In the compound MgS, the sulfide ion has 1. lost one electrons. 2. lost two electrons. 3. gained one electron. 4. gained two ele
never [62]

Answer:

4.has gained two electrons

Explanation:

There exist electrovalent bonding the compound MgS . In electrovalent bonding, there is a transfer of electrons from the metal to non-metal.

Magnesium atom has an atomic number 12 and its electron configuration is 2,8,2

Sulfur atom , a non-metal has atomic number of 16 and its electron configuration = 2,8,6

This means that magnesium as a metal needs to loose two electrons from its valence shell to attain its stable structure.Also sulfur requires two more electron to achieve its octet structure.

Hence a transfer of electrons will take place from magnesium atom to sulfur atom, sulfur gaining two electrons.

What is the definition of gravity in simple terms?
Tema [17]

Answer:

Gravity, also called gravitation, in mechanics, the universal force of attraction acting between all matter. ... On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity, proportional to their mass, which Earth's mass exerts on them. Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects

1 : A force of attraction that tends to draw particles or bodies together.

2 : The attraction of bodies by the force of gravity toward the center of the earth.

3 : Great seriousness.
