How does the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the ramp in the figure compare to the weight of the static block? The norm

al force is:______ a. greater than the weight of the block. b. possibly greater than or less than the weight of the block, depending on whether or not the ramp surface is smooth. c. equal to the weight of the block. d. possibly greater than or equal to the weight of the block, depending on whether or not the ramp surface is smooth. less than the weight of the block.

Answer:

less than the weight of the block.

Explanation:

From the free body diagram, we get.

The normal force is N = Mg cosθ

The tension in the string is T = Mg sinθ

Wight of the block when the block is static, W = Mg

Now since the magnitude of cosθ is in the range of : 0 < cosθ < 1,

therefore, the normal force is less than the weight of the static block.

A boy reaches out of a window and tosses a ball straight up with a speed of 10 m/s. The ball is 20 m above the ground as he rele
kirill115 [55]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the ball, v = 10 m/s

Initial position of ball above ground, h = 20 m

(a) Let H is the maximum height reached by the ball. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh'            

h'=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

h'=\dfrac{(10)^2}{2\times 9.8}

h' = 5.1 m

The maximum height above ground,

H = 5.1 + 20

H = 25.1 meters

So, the maximum height reached by the ball is 25.1 meters.

(b) The ball's speed as it passes the window on its way down is same as the initial speed i.e. 10 m/s.

Hence, this is the required solution.

The cockroach Periplaneta americana can detect a static electric field of magnitude 8.50 kN/C using their long antennae. If the
erica [24]

Answer:

0.235 nC

Explanation:

Given:

  • E = the magnitude of electric field = 8.50\ kN/C =8.50\times 10^{3}\ N/C
  • F = the magnitude of electric force on each antenna = 2.00\ \mu N =2.00\times 10^{-6}\ N
  • q = The magnitude of charge on each antenna

Since the electric field is the electric force applied on a charged body of unit charge.

\therefore E = \dfrac{F}{q}\\\Rightarrow q =\dfrac{F}{E}\\\Rightarrow q =\dfrac{2.00\times 10^{-6}\ N}{8.50\times 10^{3}\ N/C}\\\Rightarrow q =0.235\times 10^{-9}\ C\\\Rightarrow q =0.235\ nC

Hence, the value of q is 0.235 nC.
