5 0

Answer:

0 N

Explanation:

This is a trick question, the mass of the wrench would be 0 due to it being in space and has no gravitational pull to weight it down. And since acceleration is defined as the rate and change of velocity with no respect of time and the wrench is moving at a constant velocity, that means the velocity is 0. and since F = m*a it would be F = 0 * 0 = 0 N

Find the equivalent resistance of this parallel circuit with two strands.
svlad2 [7]
In a parallel circuit, the total resistance calculated from the individual resistances is computed from the formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. substituting R1 and R2, then 
1/Rt = 1/7 + 1/49 
1/Rt = 1/6.125 = 1/ 49/8
Rt = 49/8 <span>Ω

The total resistance hence is </span>49/8 Ω

The angular speed of the rotor in a centrifuge increases from 420 to 1420 rad/s in a time of 5.00 s. (a) Obtain the angle throug
9966 [12]

Answer:

a) θ = 2500 radians

b) α = 200 rad/s²

Explanation:

Using equations of motion,

θ = (w - w₀)t/2

θ = angle turned through = ?

w = final angular velocity = 1420 rad/s

w₀ = initial angular velocity = 420

t = time taken = 5s

θ = (1420 - 420) × 5/2 = 2500 rads

Again,

w = w₀ + αt

α = angular accelaration = ?

1420 = 420 + 5α

α = 1000/5 = 200 rad/s²

How do I solve this step by step? I’m really confused
LekaFEV [45]

Step-#1:

Ignore the wire on the right.

Find the strength and direction of the magnetic field at P,

caused by the wire on the left, 0.04m away, carrying 5.0A

of current upward.

Write it down.


Step #2:

Now, ignore the wire on the left.

Find the strength and direction of the magnetic field at P,

caused by the wire on the right, 0.04m away, carrying 8.0A

of current downward.

Write it down.


Step #3:

Take the two sets of magnitude and direction that you wrote down

and ADD them.


The total magnetic field at P is the SUM of (the field due to the left wire)

PLUS (the field due to the right wire).


So just calculate them separately, then addum up.

Two spherical objects have masses of 3.1 x 10^5 kg and 6.5 x 10^3 kg. The gravitational attraction between them is 65 N. How far
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

4.55 x 10⁹m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of object 1  = 3.1 x 10⁵kg

Mass of object 2 = 6.5 x 10³kg

Gravitational force  = 65N

Unknown:

Distance between them  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below from the universal gravitational law;

    Fg  =    \frac{G mass 1 x mass 2}{distance ^{2} }  

   G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹

        65  = \frac{6.67 x 10^{11} x 3.1 x 10^{5} x 6.5 x 10^{3}   }{distance^{2} }    

   Distance  = 4.55 x 10⁹m
