The box has 3 forces acting on it:

• its own weight (magnitude <em>w</em>, pointing downward)

• the normal force of the incline on the box (mag. <em>n</em>, pointing upward perpendicular to the incline)

• friction (mag. <em>f</em>, opposing the box's slide down the incline and parallel to the incline)

Decompose each force into components acting parallel or perpendicular to the incline. (Consult the attached free body diagram.) The normal and friction forces are ready to be used, so that just leaves the weight. If we take the direction in which the box is sliding to be the positive parallel direction, then by Newton's second law, we have

• net parallel force:

∑ <em>F</em> = -<em>f</em> + <em>w</em> sin(35°) = <em>m a</em>

• net perpendicular force:

∑<em> F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>w</em> cos(35°) = 0

Solve the net perpendicular force equation for the normal force:

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em> cos(35°)

<em>n</em> = (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) cos(35°)

<em>n</em> ≈ 120 N

Solve for the mag. of friction:

<em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em>

<em>f</em> = 0.25 (120 N)

<em>f</em> ≈ 30 N

Solve the net parallel force equation for the acceleration:

-30 N + (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) sin(35°) = (15 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>a</em> ≈ (54.3157 N) / (15 kg)

<em>a</em> ≈ 3.6 m/s²

Now solve for the block's speed <em>v</em> given that it starts at rest, with <em>v</em>₀ = 0, and slides down the incline a distance of ∆<em>x</em> = 3 m:

<em>v</em>² - <em>v</em>₀² = 2 <em>a</em> ∆<em>x</em>

<em>v</em>² = 2 (3.6 m/s²) (3 m)

<em>v</em> = √(21.7263 m²/s²)

<em>v</em> ≈ 4.7 m/s

how many years would it take to reach the star from earth, as measured by observers on the spacecraft
Assoli18 [71]

In other words, it would take Deep Space 1 more than 81,000 years to travel the 4.24 light-years between Earth and Proxima Centauri at its top speed of 56,000 km/h. In relation to human history, that would be more than 2,700 generations.

Nearly 40 trillion kilometers, or 4.4 light-years, separate us from Alpha Centauri. The NASA-Germany Helios probes, the fastest spacecraft to date to be launched into orbit, flew at a speed of 250,000 kilometers per hour. The probes would need 18,000 years to travel at such pace to arrive at the sun's nearest neighbor. The calculations reveal that it is almost impossible to reach the nearest star in a human lifetime, even with the most futuristic technologies.

An office window has dimensions 3.1 m by 2.1 m. As a result of the passage of a storm, the outside air pressure drops to 0.954 a
Virty [35]

Answer:

Net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Dimension of the office window.

Length of the window = 3.1 m

Width of the window = 2.1 m

Area of the window = (3.1\times 2.1) = 6.51\ m^2

Difference in air pressure = Inside pressure - Outside pressure

                                           = (1.0-0.954) atm = 0.046 atm

Conversion of the pressure in its SI unit.

⇒  1 atm = 101325 Pa

⇒ 0.046 atm = 0.046\times 101325 =4660.95 Pa

We have to find the net force.

We know,

⇒ Pressure = Force/Area

⇒ Pressure=\frac{Force }{Area}

⇒ Force =Pressure\times Area

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ Force =4660.95\times 6.51

⇒ Force=30342.78 Newton (N)

So,

The net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point midway between them if the top one carries a current of 19.5 A and the bo
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The magnetic field will be \large{\dfrac{1.4 \times 10^{-4}}{d}} T, '2d' being the distance the wires.

Explanation:

From Biot-Savart's law, the magnetic field (\large{\overrightarrow{B}}) at a distance 'r' due to a current carrying conductor carrying current 'I' is given by

\large{\overrightarrow{B} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{4 \pi}} \int \dfrac{\overrightarrow{dl} \times \hat{r}}{r^{2}}}

where '\overrightarrow{dl}' is an elemental length along the direction of the current flow through the conductor.

Using this law, the magnetic field due to straight current carrying conductor having current 'I', at a distance 'd' is given by

\large{\overrightarrow{B}} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2 \pi d}

According to the figure if 'I_{t}' be the current carried by the top wire, 'I_{b}' be the current carried by the bottom wire and '2d' be the distance between them, then the direction of the magnetic field at 'P', which is midway between them, will be perpendicular towards the plane of the screen, shown by the \bigotimes symbol and that due to the bottom wire at 'P' will be perpendicular away from the plane of the screen, shown by \bigodot symbol.

Given \large{I_{t} = 19.5 A} and \large{I_{B} = 12.5 A}

Therefore, the magnetic field (\large{B_{t}}) at 'P' due to the top wire

B_{t} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{t}}{2 \pi d}

and the magnetic field (\large{B_{b}}) at 'P' due to the bottom wire

B_{b} = \dfrac{\mu_{0}I_{b}}{2 \pi d}

Therefore taking the value of \mu_{0} = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} the net magnetic field (\large{B_{M}}) at the midway between the wires will be

\large{B_{M} = \dfrac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7}}{2 \pi d} (I_{t} - I_{b}) = \dfrac{2 \times 10^{-7}}{d} = \dfrac{41.4 \times 10 ^{-4}}{d}} T
