How can we represent a narrow beam of light?

Physics

Answer:It is easy to imagine representing a narrow beam of light by a collection of parallel arrows—a bundle of rays. As the beam of light moves from one medium to another, reflects off surfaces, disperses, or comes to a focus, the bundle of rays traces the beam's progress in a simple geometrical manner.

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

False, because current flow has no effect in the weight of a conductor.

Explanation:

Current flow has no effect in the weight of a conductor. Thus, the weight on the scale will be the same when current is flowing and when current is not flowing in the copper tube.

Therefore, If a copper tube has current flowing to the right in the presence of a magnetic field going forward ("into the board"), we expect the weight on the scale to be the same whether current is flowing or not.

A block of ice(m = 14.0 kg) with an attached rope is at rest on a frictionless surface. You pull the block with a horizontal for
nadezda [96]

Answer:

a) The weight and the normal force of the block has a magnitude of 137.298 newtons and the pull force exerted on the block has a magnitude of 98 newtons.

b) The final speed of the block of ice is 9.8 meters per second.

Explanation:

a) We need to calculate the weight, normal force from the ground to the block and the pull force. By 3rd Newton's Law we know that normal force is the reaction of the weight of the block of ice on a horizontal.

The weight of the block (W), measured in newtons, is:

W = m\cdot g (1)

Where:

m - Mass of the block of ice, measured in kilograms.

g  - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that m = 14\,kg and g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, the magnitudes of the weight and normal force of the block of ice are, respectively:

N = W = (14\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)

N = W = 137.298\,N

And the pull force is:

F_{pull} = 98\,N

The weight and the normal force of the block has a magnitude of 137.298 newtons and the pull force exerted on the block has a magnitude of 98 newtons.

b) Since the block of ice is on a frictionless surface and pull force is parallel to the direction of motion and uniform in time, we can apply the Impact Theorem, which states that:

m\cdot v_{o} +\Sigma F \cdot \Delta t = m\cdot v_{f} (2)

Where:

v_{o}, v_{f} - Initial and final speeds of the block, measured in meters per second.

\Sigma F - Horizontal net force, measured in newtons.

\Delta t - Impact time, measured in seconds.

Now we clear the final speed in (2):

v_{f} = v_{o}+\frac{\Sigma F\cdot \Delta t}{m}

If we know that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, m = 14\,kg, \Sigma F = 98\,N and \Delta t = 1.40\,s, then final speed of the ice block is:

v_{f} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}+\frac{(98\,N)\cdot (1.40\,s)}{14\,kg}

v_{f} = 9.8\,\frac{m}{s}

The final speed of the block of ice is 9.8 meters per second.
