Answer:

Explanation:

Retrograde motion in astronomy is, in general, orbital or rotational motion of an object in the direction opposite the rotation of its primary, that is, the central object (right figure). It may also describe other motions such as precession or nutation of an object's rotational axis. Prograde or direct motion is more normal motion in the same direction as the primary rotates. However, "retrograde" and "prograde" can also refer to an object other than the primary if so described. The direction of rotation is determined by an inertial frame of reference, such as distant fixed stars.

You are riding in an elevator that is accelerating upward. Suppose you stand on a scale. The reading on the scale is __________.

tatyana61 [14]

Given the following choices;

A) less than your true weight, mg.

B) equal to your true weight, mg.

C) more than your true weight, mg.

D) could be more or less than your true weight, mg, depending on the value of the speed.

The answer is; C

This is due to G-force. These are the perception of the weight of an object that is accelerating against gravity. We experience 1 g force on the surface of the earth because the ground exerts an upward exertion against gravity preventing as from falling to the center of the earth.

How can you make the potential energy as high as possible in a magnetic field between one electromagnet and one piece of iron?

harkovskaia [24]

In step 1, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.

In step 2, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.

<h3>Potential energy of a system of magnetic dipole</h3>

The potential energy of a system of dipole depends on the orientation of the dipole in the magnetic field.

$U = \mu B$

where;

$\mu$ is the dipole moment
B is the magnetic field

$B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}$

$U = \mu\times (\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r} )$

Increase in the distance (r) reduces the potential energy. Thus, we can conclude the following;

In step 1, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.
In step 2, when the iron is rotated 180, it will still maintain the original position, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.

What is the IMA of the following pulley system?<br><br>34567

Lynna [10]

Answer:

IMA of given system = $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$

Explanation:

The "Ideal Mechanical advantage" (IMA) of given pulley is $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$ .

Ideal Mechanical advantage of a system is defined by the ratio of achieved or output force to the implied force. In the pulley system above, output force is the resistant force denoted by $F_{r}$ . The input force is analogous or equivalent to the effort applied i.e. $F_{e}$ .

Hence by dividing these two forces we calculate the IMA of the above mentioned pulley system which is $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$ .
Its mathematical reference would be:

IMA = $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$

Acceleration = change of velocity divided by time interval = Δv/Δt.

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

a=2.378 m/s^2

Explanation:

a=Δv/Δt------eq(1)

Δv=Vf-Vi=120 km/h-0 km/h=120 km/h

or Δv=33.3 m/sec

or time=t=14s

putting values in eq(1)

a=33.3/14

a=2.378 m/s^2
