Answer:

<em>The magnitude of the force exerted by the person is 100 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force</u>

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

Fn = ma

Where a is the acceleration of the object.

The net force is the sum of all forces exerted over a body. When an object is moved along a rough surface it experiences two horizontal forces and two vertical forces (provided there is no vertical component of the applied force).

The vertical forces are the Normal and the Weight and they are balanced, i.e.: N = W = mg.

The horizontal forces are The applied force (Fa) and the friction force (Fr). They are not balanced because the object is accelerated in that direction. The net force is:

Fn = Fa - Fr

Applying the first equation:

Fa - Fr = ma

Solving for Fa:

Fa = Fr + ma

Substituting the given values m=5 kg, Fr=10 N, $a=18\ m/s^2$ .

Fa = 10 + 5*18 = 10 + 90 = 100

Fa = 100 N

The magnitude of the force exerted by the person is 100 N

A charge of 1.5 µC is placed on the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. The change in voltage across the plates is 36 V. How m

belka [17]

Answer:

Energy stored in the capacitor is $U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, $q=1.5\ \mu C=1.5\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Potential difference, V = 36 V

We need to find the potential energy is stored in the capacitor. The stored potential energy is given by :

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}q\times V$

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.5\times 10^{-6}\times 36$

U = 0.000027 J

$U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J$

So, the potential energy is stored in the capacitor is $U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Can an argon atom undergo vibrational motion?

azamat

No. the answer to the question if can an argon atom undergo vibrational motion is no. it can not even spin either. the argon atom, or the argon is a chemical element that is the third most abundant gas in the earth's atmosphere. it is ore than twice as abundance as water vapor. Thank you for this question.

What is the distance from axis about which a uniform, balsa-wood sphere will have the same moment of inertia as does a thin-wall

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

$D_{s}$ ≈ 2.1 R

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of the bodies can be calculated by the equation

I = ∫ r² dm

For bodies with symmetry this tabulated, the moment of inertia of the center of mass

Sphere $Is_{cm}$ = 2/5 M R²

Spherical shell $Ic_{cm}$ = 2/3 M R²

The parallel axes theorem allows us to calculate the moment of inertia with respect to different axes, without knowing the moment of inertia of the center of mass

I = $I_{cm}$ + M D²

Where M is the mass of the body and D is the distance from the center of mass to the axis of rotation

Let's start with the spherical shell, axis is along a diameter

D = 2R

Ic = $Ic_{cm}$ + M D²

Ic = 2/3 MR² + M (2R)²

Ic = M R² (2/3 + 4)

Ic = 14/3 M R²

The sphere

Is = $Is_{cm}$ + M [ $D_{s}$ ²

Is = Ic

2/5 MR² + M $D_{s}$ ² = 14/3 MR²

$D_{s}$ ² = R² (14/3 - 2/5)

$D_{s}$ = √ (R² (64/15)

$D_{s}$ = 2,066 R
