Physics

Answer:

4. The reading decreases because part of your weight is applied to the table and the table exerts a matching force on you that acts in the direction opposite to your weight.

Explanation:

When you push on anything, Newtons Third Law comes into effect: "when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction." So pretty much, the table you are putting some of your weight on is taking some of the downward force and in return the scale isn't going to push up with as much force.

I'm not the best at explaining, but im in physics right now and thats somewhat how my teacher explained it.

Find acceleration. Will give brainliest!

zalisa [80]

Answer:

16200 km/s

270 km/min

4.5 km/h

Explanation:

Acceleration Formula: Average Acceleration = Δv/Δt (change in velocity over change in time)

Simply plug in our known variables and solve:

a = (45.0 - 0)/10

a = 45.0/10

a = 4.5 km/h

What is a partial and total lunar eclipse?

Minchanka [31]

Partial Lunar Eclipse:

A partial lunar eclipse is when the earth gets between the Sun and Moon. However, all three bodies are not in alignment meaning we are able to see some more like part of the moon's surface as it moves in route of the Earth's shadow.

Total Lunar Eclipse:

The three celestial bodies are perfectly aligned which allows for the earth to completely block the sun's rays from hitting/reaching the moon. The sun is positions is in back of the Earth which then causes the shadow of the earth to be cast on the Moon covering the moon completely. When that happens you get the phenomenon called a total lunar eclipse.

Hopefully this helped and good luck.

There is a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B, pervading all space, perpendicular to the plane of rod and rails. The rod is r

Charra [1.4K]

The right hand rule to find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:

The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.

The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.

The magnetic force is given by the vector product of the velocity and the magnetic field.

F = q v x B

Where the bolds indicate vectors, F is the force, q the charge on the particle, v the velocity and B the magnetic field.

In the vector product, the vectors are perpendicular, which is why the right-hand rule has been established, see attached:

The thumb points in the direction of speed.

Fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field.

The palm is in the direction of the force if the charge is positive and in the opposite direction if the charge is negative.

They indicate that the bar is dropped, therefore its speed is vertical and downwards, it moves to the left therefore this is the direction of the force, we use the right hand rule, the magnetic field must be horizontal, we have two possibilities:

If the charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.

If the charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is, horizontal away from us

In conclusion using the right hand rule we can find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:

The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.

The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.
