Suppose that you are standing on a train accelerating at 0.20g (where g is the acceleration due to gravity). What minimum coeffi

cient of static friction must exist between your feet and the floor if you are not to slide

Answer:

0.2

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The acceleration of the train, a = 0.2·g

The mass of the person standing on the train = m

Let μ represent the coefficient of static friction, we have;

The force acting on the person, F = m × a = m × 0.2·g

The force of friction acting between the feet and the floor, F_f = m·g·μ

For the person not to slide we have;

The force acting on the person = The force of friction acting between the feet and the floor

F = F_f

∴ m × 0.2·g = m·g·μ

From which we get;

0.2 = μ

The coefficient of static friction that must exist between the feet and the floor if the person is not to slide, μ = 0.2.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

B)

The magnitude of induced emf in the conducting loop is 0.99 mV.

Explanation:

Rate of increase in magnetic field per unit time = 0.090 T/s

Area of the conducting loop = 110 cm^2 = 0.0110 m^2

Electromagnetic induction is the production of an emf or voltage in a coil of wire due to a changing magnetic field through the coil.

Induced e.m.f is given as:

EMF = (-N*change in magnetic field/time)*Area

EMF = rate of change of magnetic field per unit time * Area

EMF = 0.090 * 0.0110

EMF = 0.00099 V

EMF = 0.99 mV

This is a computer program, why is there an error between the computer values and the nominal values of R?
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

the difference is due to resistance tolerance

Explanation:

In mathematical calculations, either done by hand or in a computer program, the heat taken from the resistors is the nominal value, which is the writing in its color code, so all calculations give a result, but the Resistors have a tolerance, indicated by the last band that is generally 5%, 10%, 20% and in the expensive precision resistance can reach 1%.

   This tolerance or fluctuation in the resistance value is what gives rise to the difference between the computation values ​​and the values ​​measured with the instruments, multimeters.

   Another source of error also occurs due to temperature changes in the circuit that affect the nominal resistance value, there is a very high resistance group that indicates the variation with the temperature, they are only used in critical circuits, due to their high cost

In summary, the difference is due to resistance tolerance.
