Answer:

Force due to seat must be equal to the Weight of the student

Explanation:

As we know that the student is sitting on the seat at rest

So here we can say that at this position the student must be at equilibrium position

so we can write force equation for this position of student

vertically downward the net force is due to his/ her weight which is given as

W = mg

now this weight of the student is counter balanced by the the normal force due to seat which is in opposite direction

Now for equilibrium position of the object we will have

F_n = mg

so the seat will push the student upwards by force which is equal to the weight.

The force pushing down  is the force of Gravity. On a chair it is in perfect balance with the force pushing up (the normal force)
 

in terms of magnitude 
FN = FG = mg

the forces are in opposite direction

hope this helps

A satellite m-500 kg orbits the earth at a distance d 215 km, above the surface of the planet. The radius of the earth is re 6.3
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

7.78 * 10³ m/s

Explanation:

Orbital velocity is given as:

v = √(GM/R)

G = 6.67 * 10^(-11) Nm/kg²

M = 5.98 * 10^(24) kg

R = radius of earth + distance of the satellite from the surface of the earth

R = 2.15 * 10^(5) + 6.38 * 10^(6)

R = 6.595 * 10^(6) m

v = √([6.67 * 10^(-11) * 5.98 * 10^(24)] / 6.595 * 10^(6))

v = √(6.048 * 10^7)

v = 7.78 * 10³ m/s

REDDIT You look at a circular loop of wire such that the plane of the loop is perpendicular to your line of vision. The loop has
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The circular loop experiences a constant force which is always directed towards the center of the loop and tends to compress it.

Explanation:

Since the magnetic field, B points in my direction and the current, I is moving in a clockwise direction, the current is always perpendicular to the magnetic field and will thus experience a constant force, F = BILsinФ where Ф is the angle between B and L.

Since the magnetic field is in my direction, it is perpendicular to the plane of the circular loop and thus perpendicular to L where L = length of circular loop. Thus Ф = 90° and F = BILsin90° = BIL

According to Fleming's left-hand rule, the fore finger representing the magnetic field, the middle finger represent in the current and the thumb representing the direction of force on the circular loop.

At each point on the circular loop, the force is always directed towards the center of the loop and thus tends to compress it.

<u>So, the circular loop experiences a constant force which is always directed towards the center of the loop and tends to compress it.</u>

Complete the following:

When light is incident parallel to the principal axis and then strikes a lens, the light will refract through the focal point on the opposite side of the lens.

To find the answer, we have to know about the rules followed by drawing ray-diagram.

<h3>What are the rules obeyed by light rays?</h3>
  • If the incident ray is parallel to the principal axis, the refracted ray will pass through the opposite side's focus.
  • The refracted ray becomes parallel to the major axis if the incident ray passes through the focus.
  • The refracted ray follows the same path if the incident light passes through the center of the curve.

Thus, we can conclude that, when light is incident parallel to the principal axis and then strikes a lens, the light will refract through the focal point on the opposite side of the lens.
