Answer:

B. less than mg

Explanation:

A person's weight changes as he rides an elevator at a constant velocity. If the elevator is moving downward, the person's weight becomes lesser. He is considered to be in "free fall" due to gravity. However, the opposite happens when the elevator goes upward. The person will feel heavier because he is going against gravity. This means his weight is more than his actual weight. If the person will stand on an elevator that doesn't move, his weight will just be the same. All of these is due to Newton's Second Law of Motion where an object's acceleration relies on its force and mass.

Un resorte se alarga 5 cm bajo la acción de una fuerza de 39,2 N. ¿Cuál es la constante del resorte? Si ahora la fuerza es 68,6

Lorico [155]

Answer:

$k=784 N/m$

$\Delta x=8,8 cm$

Explanation:

Usando la ley de Hook tenemos:

$F=k\Delta x$

Solving it for k we have:

$k=\frac{F}{\Delta x}$

$k=\frac{39,2}{0,05}$

$k=784 N/m$

Usando la misma ecuación y sabiendo k tenemos:

$\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}$

$\Delta x=\frac{68,6}{784}$

$\Delta x=8,8 cm$

Why is cathode positive in leclanche cell??

laila [671]

Answer:

Because the zinc is reluctant

Explanation:

A leclanche cell contains a conducting solution (electrolyte) of ammonium chloride, a cathode (positive terminal) of carbon, a depolarizer of manganese dioxide (oxidizer), and an anode (negative terminal) of zinc (reductant).

As the Zn2+ ions move away from the anode, leaving their electrons on its surface,

Zn → Zn2+ + 2e−

the anode becomes more negatively charged than the cathode. When the cell is connected to an external electrical circuit, the excess electrons on the zinc anode flow through the circuit to the carbon rod, the movement of electrons forming an electric current.

A short current element dl⃗ = (0.500 mm)j^ carries a current of 5.40 A in the same direction as dl⃗ . Point P is located at r⃗ =

SashulF [63]

Answer:

The magnetic field along x axis is

$B_{x}=1.670\times10^{-10}\ T$

The magnetic field along y axis is zero.

The magnetic field along z axis is

$B_{z}=3.484\times10^{-10}\ T$

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the current element $dl=(0.5\times10^{-3})j$

Current in y direction = 5.40 A

Point P located at $\vec{r}=(-0.730)i+(0.390)k$

The distance is

$|\vec{r}|=\sqrt{(0.730)^2+(0.390)^2}$

$|\vec{r}|=0.827\ m$

We need to calculate the magnetic field

Using Biot-savart law

$B=\dfrac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi}\timesI\times\dfrac{\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}}{|\vec{r}|^3}$

Put the value into the formula

$B=10^{-7}\times5.40\times\dfrac{(0.5\times10^{-3})\times(-0.730)i+(0.390)k}{(0.827)^3}$

We need to calculate the value of $\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}$

$\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}=(0.5\times10^{-3})\times(-0.730)i+(0.390)k$

$\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}=i(0.350\times0.5\times10^{-3}-0)+k(0+0.730\times0.5\times10^{-3})$

$\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}=0.000175i+0.000365k$

Put the value into the formula of magnetic field

$B=10^{-7}\times5.40\times\dfrac{(0.000175i+0.000365k)}{(0.827)^3}$

$B=1.670\times10^{-10}i+3.484\times10^{-10}k$

Hence, The magnetic field along x axis is

$B_{x}=1.670\times10^{-10}\ T$

The magnetic field along y axis is zero.

The magnetic field along z axis is

$B_{z}=3.484\times10^{-10}\ T$
