Answer:

8 N North.

Explanation:

Given that,

One force has a magnitude of 10 N directed north, and the other force has a magnitude of 2 N directed south.

We need to find the magnitude of net force acting on the object.

Let North is positive and South is negative.

Net force,

F = 10 N +(-2 N)

= 8 N

So, the magnitude of net force on the object is 8 N and it is in North direction (as it is positive). Hence, the correct option is (d) "8N north".

An electric heater is rated at 1400 W, a toaster is rated at 1150 W, and an electric grill is rated at 1560 W. The three applian
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The current in the heater is 12.5 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Power of electric heater, P₁ = 1400 W

Power of toaster, P₂ = 1150 W

Power of electric grill, P₃ = 1560 W

All three appliances are connected in parallel across a 112 V emf source. We need to find the current in the heater. We know that in parallel combination of resistors the current flowing in every branch of resistor divides while the voltage is same.

Electric power, P_1=V\times I_1

I_1=\dfrac{P_1}{V}

I_1=\dfrac{1400\ W}{112\ V}

I_1=12.5\ A

So, the current in the heater is 12.5 A. Hence, this is the required solution.

A bungee jumper has a mass of 60kg and uses a 25m long bungee cord (unstretched length) with an elastic coefficient of 800N/m. a
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

a ) 2.68 m / s

b )  1.47 m

Explanation:

The jumper will go down with acceleration as long as net force on it becomes zero . Net force of (mg - kx ) will act on it  where kx is the restoring force acting in upward direction.

At the time of equilibrium

mg - kx = 0

x = mg / k

= (60 x 9.8 ) / 800

= 0.735 m

At this moment , let its velocity be equal to V

Applying conservation of energy

kinetic energy of jumper + elastic energy of cord = loss of potential energy of the jumper

1/2 m V² + 1/2 k x² = mg x

.5 x 60 x V² + .5 x 800 x .735 x .735 = 60 x 9.8 x .735

30 V² + 216.09 = 432.18

V = 2.68 m / s

b ) At lowest point , kinetic energy is zero and loss of potential energy will be equal to stored elastic energy.

1/2 k x² = mgx

x = 2 m g / k

= (2 x 60 x 9.8) / 800

= 1.47 m

A 60 year old person has a threshold of hearing of 95.0 dB for a sound with frequency f=10,000 Hz. By what factor must the inten
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The intensity increased by a factor of 158489

Explanation:

Given that,

Sound level = 95.0 dB

Sound level = 43.0 dB

Frequency = 10000 Hz

We need to calculate the ratio of sound intensity

Using formula of sound level

sound\ level =10 log\dfrac{I}{I_{0}}

Put the value into the formula

95.0=10\ log\dfrac{I_{1}}{I_{0}}...(I)

43.0=10\ log\dfrac{I_{2}}{I_{0}}.....(II)

Subtracting these equations

52.0=10\ log\dfrac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}

\log\dfrac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}=5.2

Taking inverse log

\dfrac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}=10^{5.2}

\dfrac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}=158489

Hence, The intensity increased by a factor of 158489

A diamond is cut such that the angle between its top surface and its bottom surface is α. For α=45∘, find the largest possible v
Reil [10]

Answer:

i = 61 degree

Explanation:

Given,

\alpha =45^{o}

Now, by the snell's law

sin\theta_c=\frac{1}{n}\\sin\theta_c=\frac{1}{2.450}\\\theta_c=24.09^o

Now,

Sin i / sin r = n 2 / n 1

sin i / sin r (45 - 24.09) = 2.45 / 1

i = 60.97 degree

( 8c5p79) A certain force gives mass m1 an acceleration of 13.5 m/s2 and mass m2 an acceleration of 3.5 m/s2. What acceleration
Talja [164]

Answer:

4.725 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

We know that from Newton's second law of motion, F=ma hence making acceleration the subject then a=\frac {F}{m}  where a is acceleration, F is force and m is mass

Also making mass the subject of the formula m=\frac {F}{a}

For m1= \frac {F}{13.5} and m2=\frac {F}{3.5} hence F=(m2-m1)a= (\frac {F}{3.5}-\frac {F}{13.5})a=0.2116402116\\\frac {1}{a}=0.2116402116\\a=4.725 m/s^{2}
