Answer:

You are given that the mass of the clock M is 95 kg.

This is true whether the clock is in motion or not.

Fs is the frictional force required to keep the clock from moving.

Thus Fk = uk W = uk M g the force required to move clock at constant speed. (the kinetic frictional force)

uk = 560 N / 931 N = .644 since the weight of the clock is 931 N (95 * 9.8)

us is the frictional force requited to start the clock moving

us = static frictional force = 650 / 931 -= .698

The next closest star to Earth, Proxima Centuri, is 4.25 lightyears away. How far is that in meters?

lozanna [386]

Answer:

4.0208 x 10^16 meters

Explanation:

speed of light in m/s * # seconds in a year * 4.25 years =

2.99792 x 10^8 * 3600*24*365.25 * 4.25 = 4.0208 x 10^16 m

Why is friction important for gymnast working on parallel bars

igomit [66]

Hey there,
Friction is important to increase the friction between the bars and the gymnast to prevent the gymnast from falling and hurting themselves.

Hope this helps :))

You drop a ball from a height of 2.0 m, and it bounces back to a height of 1.5 m. (a) what fraction of its initial energy is los

Scilla [17]

a) At a position of 2.0m, the Initial energy is all made up of the potential energy=m*g*hi
and meanwhile at 1.5 all its energy is also potential energy=m*g*hf

The percentage of energy remaining is E=m*g*hi/m*g*hf x 100

and since mass and gravity are constant so it leaves us with just E=hi/hf
which 1.5/2.0 x100= 75% so we see that we lost 25% of the energy or 0.25 in fraction

b) Here use the equation vf^2=vi^2+2gd

where g is gravity, vf is the final velocity and vi is the initial velocity while d is the distance travelled

so in here we are looking for the vi so let us isolate that variable
we know that at maximum height or peak, the velocity is 0 so vf is 0

therefore,

vi =sqrt(-2gd) 
vi =sqrt(-2x-9.81x1.5) 
vi =5.4 m/s

c) The energy was converted to heat due to friction with the air and the ground.

Is visible light a form of radiation? Explain.

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Yes,in fact visible 'light' is a form of radiation, which can be defined as an energy that travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. It can also be described as a flow of particle-like 'wave-packets', called photons, that travel constantly at the speed of light (about 300 000 kilometres per second).

In this experiment we will observe the magnetic fields produced by a current carrying wire. A long wire is suspended vertically,

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Solution:-

Electric current produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field can be visualized as a pattern of circular field lines surrounding a wire. One way to explore the direction of a magnetic field is with a compass, as shown by a long straight current-carrying wire in. Hall probes can determine the magnitude of the field. Another version of the right hand rule emerges from this exploration and is valid for any current segment—point the thumb in the direction of the current, and the fingers curl in the direction of the magnetic field loops created by it.

Compasses placed near a long straight current-carrying wire indicate that field lines form circular loops centered on the wire. Right hand rule 2 states that, if the right hand thumb points in the direction of the current, the fingers curl in the direction of the field. This rule is consistent with the field mapped for the long straight wire and is valid for any current segment.

( See attachments )

- The equation for the magnetic field strength - B - (magnitude) produced by a long straight current-carrying wire is given by the Biot Savart Law:

$B = \frac{uo*I}{2\pi *r}$

Where,

I : The current,

r : The shortest distance to the wire,

uo : The permeability of free space. = 4π * 10^-7 T. m/A

- Since the wire is very long, the magnitude of the field depends only on distance from the wire r, not on position along the wire. This is one of the simplest cases to calculate the magnetic field strength - B - from a current.

- The magnetic field of a long straight wire has more implications than one might first suspect. Each segment of current produces a magnetic field like that of a long straight wire, and the total field of any shape current is the vector sum of the fields due to each segment. The formal statement of the direction and magnitude of the field due to each segment is called the Biot-Savart law. Integral calculus is needed to sum the field for an arbitrary shape current. The Biot-Savart law is written in its complete form as:

$B = \frac{uo*I}{4\pi }*\int\frac{dl xr}{r^2}$

Where the integral sums over,

1) The wire length where vector dl = direction of current (in or out of plane)

2) r is the distance between the location of dl and the location at which the magnetic field is being calculated

3) r^ is a unit vector in the direction of r.
