Answer:

Natalie says that all things with mass have a gravitational field, but the force is very weak and cannot be perceived around small objects.

Explanation:

The force due to gravity is proportional to the mass of the object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between objects. The Earth is so massive that the force due to its gravity is much greater than the force between objects on the counter.

If there were no friction, the objects might move toward each other, depending on what other masses were near them tending to cause them to move in other directions.

Natalie's explanation is about the best.

Additional comment

The universal gravitational constant was determined by Henry Cavendish in the late 18th century using lead balls weighing 1.6 pounds and 348 pounds. His experiment was enclosed in a large wooden box to minimize outside effects. While these masses are somewhat greater than those of a glue bottle and stapler, the experiment shows the force of gravity between "small" objects can be measured.

Answer:

a) frequency is 2.381 Hz

b) the angular frequency/speed is 14.96 rad/s

c) the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.5199 T

Explanation:

Given that;

cross sectional Area A = 0.018 m²

Number of turns N = 200

from the diagram. maximum time T = 0.42 sec

a) the frequency f of the generator in hertz

frequency = 1 / T

we substitute

frequency = 1 / 0.42 = 2.381 Hz

Therefore, frequency is 2.381 Hz

b) the angular frequency in rad/s

angular speed ω = 2πf

we substitute

ω = 2π × 2.381

ω = 14.96 rad/s

Therefore, the angular frequency/speed is 14.96 rad/s

c) the magnitude of the magnetic field.

to determine the magnitude of the magnetic field, we use the following expression;

e = NBAω

from the diagram, e = 28.0 V

so we substitute

28.0 V = 200 × B × 0.018 × 14.96

28 = 53.856B

B = 28 / 53.856

B = 0.5199 T

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.5199 T

When you rub a balloon on a sweater, for example, some electrons come off and end up on the balloon. The fibers have lost electrons giving them a positive charge. The rubber gained electrons giving it a negative charge. ... The positively charged fibers are now attracted to the negatively charged balloon.

Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls eastward with a force of 80.5 N, Jill pulls with 81.7 N in the

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

F = 233.52 N, θ' = 351.41º

Explanation:

In this exercise we must find the net force applied on the donkey.

For this we use Newton's second law, where we create a reference frame with the horizontal x axis

let's decompose the forces

Jack

= 80.5 N

Jill

cos 45 = F_{2x} / F₂2

sin 45 = F_{2y} / F₂2

F_{2x} = F₂ cos 45

F_{2y} = F₂ sin 45

F_{2x} = 81.7 cos 45 = 57.77 N

F_{2y} = 81.7 sin 45 = 57.77 N

Jane

cos (270 + 45) = F_{3x} / F₃3

sin 315 = F_{3y} / F₃

F_{3x} = 131 cos 315 = 92.63 N

F_{3y} = 131 sin 315 = -92.63 N

the force can be found in each axis

X axis

F_{x} = F_{1x} + F_{2x} + F_{3x}

F_{x} = 80.5 +57.77 + 92.63

F_{x} = 230.9 N

Axis y

F_{y} = F_{1y} + F_{2y} + F_{3y}

F_{y} = 0 + 57.77 -92.63

F_{y} = -34.86 N

we can give the result in two ways

a) F = (230.9 i ^ - 34.86 j ^) N

b) in the form of module and angle

we use the Pythagorean theorem

F = √(Fₓ² + F_{y}²

F = √(230.9² + 34.86²)

F = 233.52 N

let's use trigonometry for the angle

tan θ = $\frac{F_y}{F_x} }$

θ = tan⁻¹ (\frac{F_y}{F_x} })

θ = tan⁻¹ (-34.86 / 230.9)

θ = -8.59º

if we measure this angle from the positive side of the x-axis counterclockwise

θ' = 360 -θ

θ‘= 360- 8.59

θ' = 351.41º
