Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation.

Explanation:

Balancing the forces acting on a body is not enough to establish equlibrium because of the principle of moment say that:

1.) For equilibrium to be attained, the sum of clockwise moment must be equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments.

2.) The sum of upward forces must be equal to the sum of the downward forces

According to the definition of moment, is the product of force and perpendicular distance.

Therefore, the perpendicular distance is needed to be considered.

A physics professor is pushed up a ramp inclined upward at 30.0° above the horizontal as she sits in her desk chair, which slide

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

V = 3.17 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the professor m = 85.0 kg

Angle of the ramp θ = 30.0°

Length travelled L = 2.50 m

Force applied F = 600 N

Initial Speed u = 2.00 m/s

Solution

Work = Change in kinetic energy

$F_{net}d = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} - \frac{1}{2}mu^{2}\\\frac{2F_{net}d }{m} = v^{2} -u^{2}\\ v^{2} =\frac{2F_{net}d }{m} +u^{2}\\ v^{2} =\frac{2(600cos30 - 85\times 9.8 \times sin30) \times 2.5 }{85} +2.00^{2}\\ v^{2} = 10.066\\v = 3..17m/s$

blagie [28]

W=20 e(-kt)
A. Rearranging gives k= -(ln(w/20)/t
Substituting w= 10 and solving gives k=0.014
B. Using W=20e(-kt). After 0 hours, W=20. After 24 hours, W=14.29g. After 1 week (24x7=168h) W=1.9g
C. Rearranging gives t=-(ln(10/20)/k. Substituting w=1 and solving gives t=214 hours.
D. Differentiating gives dW/ dt = -20ke(-kt). Solving for t=100 gives dW/dt = 0.07g/h. Solving for t=1000 gives 0.0000002g/h
E. dW/dt = -20ke(-kt). But W=20e(-kt) so dW/dt = -kW

Can you find the magnetic field based on force? a straight segment of wire 35.0 cm long carrying a current of 1.40 a is in a uni

Lostsunrise [7]

The force exerted by a magnetic field on a wire carrying current is:
$F=ILB \sin \theta$
where I is the current, L the length of the wire, B the magnetic field intensity, and $\theta$ the angle between the wire and the direction of B.

In our problem, the force is F=0.20 N. The current is I=1.40 A, while the length of the wire is L=35.0 cm=0.35 m. The angle between the wire and the magnetic field is $53 ^{\circ}$ , so we can re-arrange the formula and substitute the numbers to find B:
$B= \frac{F}{IL \sin \theta}= \frac{0.20 N}{(1.40 A)(0.35 m)(\sin 53^{\circ})}=0.51 T$
