A chair of weight 85.0 N lies atop a horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of F =

40.0 N directed at an angle of 35.0deg below the horizontal and the chair slides along the floor.
Using Newton's laws, calculate n, the magnitude of the normal force that the floor exerts on the chair.

Answer:

 N = 107.94 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use Newton's second law.

Let's set a reference system with the x-axis parallel to the ground and the y-axis vertical

X axis

        Fₓ = ma

ej and

       N -F_y - W = 0

let's use trigonometry to decompose the applied force

     cos -35 = Fₓ / F

     sin -35 = F_y / F

     Fₓ = F cos -35

     F_y = F sin -35

     Fₓ = 40.0 cos -35 = 32.766 N

     F_y = 40.0 sin -35 = -22.94 N

we substitute

     N = Fy + W

     N = 22.94 + 85

     N = 107.94 N

What is an electric motor? Explain its operation.
tatyana61 [14]
An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Electric motors work on the principal of the interaction between magnetic field electr-magnetism. A loop which is carrying the current is placed in a magnetic field. The loop will experience a torque. The torque starts rotating the coil and the propellers start to rotate when the current passes through the loop.

There are four charges, each with a magnitude of 2.06 µC. Two are positive and two are negative. The charges are fixed to the co
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

0.208 N

Explanation:

We are given that

q_1=q_2=2.06\mu C=2.06\times 10^{-6} C

q_3=q_4=-2.06\mu C=-2.06\times 10^{-6} C

Distance,d=0.41 m

The magnitude of the net electrostatic force experienced by any charge at point 4

Net force,F_{net}=\sqrt{F^2_1+F^2_3+2F_1F_3cos90^{\circ}}-F_2

F_1=F_3=F

F_{net}=\sqrt{F^2+F^2+0}-F_2

F_{net}=\sqrt 2F-F_2

F=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}

F_2=\frac{Kq^2}{2d^2}

F_{net}=\frac{\sqrt 2kq^2}{d^2}-\frac{kq^2}{2d^2}=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}(\sqrt 2-\frac{1}{2})

Where k=9\times 10^9

F_{net}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times (2.06\times 10^{-6})^2}{(0.41)^2}(\sqrt 2-\frac{1}{2})

F_{net}=0.208 N

What is meant in astronomy by the phrase "adaptive optics?
Sergeu [11.5K]
<h2>Answer: a.The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are spring-loaded to allow them to return quickly to a known position. </h2>

Explanation:

Adaptive optics is a method used in several astronomical observatories to counteract in real time the effects of the Earth's atmosphere on the formation of astronomical images.

This is done through the insertion into the optical path of the telescope of sophisticated deformable mirrors supported by a set of computationally controlled actuators. Thus obtaining clear images despite the effects of atmospheric turbulence that cause the unwanted distortion.

It should be noted that with this technique it is also necessary to have a moderately bright reference star that is very close to the object to be observed and studied. However, it is not always possible to find such stars, so a powerful laser beam is used to point towards the Earth's upper atmosphere and create artificial stars.
