A block is placed on an inclined plane and remains stationary, as shown in the figure above. A student claims, “The block remain

s stationary because as gravity tries to pull the block down the ramp, the block exerts an equal and opposite force on itself up the ramp.” Is the student’s claim correct? Justify your answer.

Answer:

No, according to Newton's first law of motion, the block cannot exert a force on itself, and the body will remain at rest unless unbalanced forces act on it

However according to Newton's third and first laws of motion the action of gravity pulling the block down the plane is equal to the reaction force of friction, preventing the motion

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law, the action force of gravity on the block tending to drag the block down along the inclined plane is equal to the reaction force of the frictional force of the inclined plane due to the interactions between the surfaces of the block and the plane which tends to prevent the motion of the block when both the component of the gravitational force down the plane and the frictional force are equal.

A stone is whirled at the end of a rope 25m long makes 8 complete revolution in two seconds find its centripetal force and centr
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Fc = 1579 [N]; ac = 15790.9 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following formula that relates the centripetal force to the speed of rotation and the radius of rotation, respectively.

a)

F_{c}=m*\frac{v^{2} }{r}

where:

Fc = centripetal force [N]

m = mass [kg]

v = tangential velocity [m/s]

r = radius [m]

We have to give a mass to the stone in order to solve the problem, for this case we will say that the mass is equal to 100 [g].

The tangential velocity is equal to the product of the angular velocity (rotational) by the turning radius

v = w * r

But we need to convert the angular velocity units of revolutions per second to radians per second

\frac{8rev}{2s}*\frac{2*\pi *rad}{1 rev} =\frac{25.13rad}{s}

v = 25.13*25 = 628.31[m/s]

Now replacing in the first equation:

F_{c}=0.1*\frac{628.31^{2} }{25} \\F_{c}= 1579 [N]

b)

The second part will be only:

a_{c}=\frac{v^{2} }{r} \\a_{c}=\frac{628.31^{2} }{25} \\a_{c}=15790.93[m/s^{2} ]

sp2606 [1]

Answer;

C. outer core.

Scientists think that the outer core, made of liquid iron and nickel, moves to produce Earth’s magnetic field

Explanation;

-The earth's magnetic field is believed to be generated deep down in the Earth's core. The outer core, a 2,000 km thick layer of iron, nickel, and small quantities of other metals. It has lower pressure than the inner core which means the metal here is fluid.

-In the Earth, the liquid metal that makes up the outer core passes through a magnetic field, which causes an electric current to flow within the liquid metal. The electric current, in turn, creates its own magnetic field—one that is stronger than the field that created it in the first place.

Mrac [35]
<span>The answer is B. When the system absorbs energy, the molecules gain more kinetic energy and hence start to move faster. Doubling the size of the system also gives more room for the molecules to move randomly around the system <span>before colliding with other molecules hence increasing their motion. </span></span>

Which describes the motion in a convection current? horizontal motion only vertical motion only linear motion circular motion
Orlov [11]

Answer:

circular motion

Explanation:

Circular motion can be regarded as

movement of particular object along the circumference in a circle. It is

rotation of particular object along a circular path. Circular motion could be

uniform, along with constant angular rate of rotation as well as constant speed. It could also be non-uniform along with changing rate of rotation. The acceleration that is been experienced when one is in uniform circular motion is called"Centripetal acceleration"

Convection currents is type of current that takes place after a reservoir of fluid has been heated at the bottom, then cool at the top.the fluid expand as a result of Heat , then density decreases, the plates on top of them is been carried as a result of circular motion of the convection
