A piano mover raises a 1000-n piano at a constant speed using a very light rope in a frictionless pulley system, as shown in the
Rina8888 [55]

Here As we can see the figure that the end of the rope is pulled by some force F

Now as we can see that Piano is connected by a pulley which is passing over the pulley so effectively net force on the piano upwards will be 2F as it is connected by 2 ropes by the pulley

Now for constant velocity of the piano we will say

2F - mg = ma

since velocity is constant so acceleration must be ZERO

so here we have

2F - mg = 0

as we know here that

mg = 1000 N

so we will have

2F - 1000 = 0

F = 500 N

so here force must be 500 N

Suppose a straight 1.00-mm-diameter copper wire could just "float" horizontally in air because of the force due to the Earth’s m
insens350 [35]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Force since Newton's second law, as well as the concept of Electromagnetic Force. The relationship of the two equations will allow us to find the magnetic field through the geometric relations of density and volume.

F_{mag}= BIL

Where,

B = Magnetic Field

I = Current

L = Length

<em>Note: F_{mag}  is a direct adaptation of the vector relation F=q \times V \times B</em>

From Newton's second law we know that the relation of Strength and weight is determined as

F_g = mg

Where,

m = Mass

g = Gravitational Acceleration

For there to be balance the two forces must be equal therefore

F_{mag} = F_g

BIL = mg

Our values are given as,

Diameter (d) = 1.0mm = 1*10^{-3}m

Radius (r) = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{1*10^{-3}}{2} = 0.5*10^{-3}m

Magnetic Field (B) = 5.0*10^{-5} T

From the relationship of density another way of expressing mass would be

\rho = \frac{m}{V} \rightarrow m = \rho V

At the same time the volume ratio for a cylinder (the shape of the wire) would be

V = \pi r^2 L \rightarrow L =Length, r= Radius

Replacing this two expression at our first equation we have that:

BIL = mg

BIL = ( \rho V)g

BIL = ( \rho \pi r^2 L)g

Re-arrange to find I

I = \frac{( \rho \pi r^2 L)g}{BL}

I = \frac{( \rho \pi r^2 )g}{B}

We have for definition that the Density of copper is 8.9*10^3 Kg/m^3, gravity acceleration is 9.8m/s^2 and the values of magnetic field (B) and the radius were previously given, then:

I = \frac{( (8.9*10^3 ) \pi (0.5*10^{-3})^2 )(9.8)}{5.0*10^{-5}}

I = 1370.05A

The current is too high to be transported which would make the case not feasible.

A piece of wood is floating in a tub of water. A second piece of wood rests on top of the first piece; it does NOT touch the wat
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

C)

Explanation:

The buoyancy and weight of the wood have to be equal for the system to be in equilibrium. The total mass (then, weight) of the wood is the same, so the total buoyancy has to be the same. Since buoyancy is the weight of the liquid displaced, the volume of liquid displaced will be the same in either case, which means that the water level will remain unchanged.

The input work done on a machine is 9.63 × 103 joules, and the output work is 3.0 × 103 joules. What is the percentage efficienc
notsponge [240]
Input work = 9.63×10³ J.
Output work = 3.0×10³ J

By definition,
Efficiency = (Output work)/(Input work)
                 = (3.0×10³)/(9.63×10³)
                 = 0.31 = 31%

Answer:  31%
