How do you calculate the magnitude of the resultant force of two

2 answers:

6 0

To find the resultant force subtract the magnitude of the smaller force from the magnitude of the larger force. The direction of the resultant force is in the same direction as the larger force. A force of 5 N acts to the right, and a force of 3 N act to the left. Calculate the resultant force.

Answer:

Two forces that act in opposite directions produce a resultant force that is smaller than either individual force. To find the resultant force subtract the magnitude of the smaller force from the magnitude of the larger force. The direction of the resultant force is in the same direction as the larger force.

Why are noise considerations important in optical fiber communications? 3. Describe the principle of "population inversion".

pochemuha

Answer and Explanation:

the electronic devices always have some noises present in the signal

there are some important considerations in optical fiber communications these are.

the noise which is contributed by transmitter are electronic random noise, low frequency noise
noise which is contributed by laser are relative intensity noise, mode partition noise, conversion of phase noise to amplitude noise.
noise contributed by photo detector are quantum shot noise, shot noise from dark current, avalanche multiplication noise.

PRINCIPLE OF POPULATION INVERSION :

The principle of population inversion is defined as for production of high percentage of simulated emission for a laser beam the number of atoms in higher state should be greater than lower energy state

An AC generator consists of 20 circular loops of wire with an area of 75 cm2. It has a maximum induced voltage of 24 V. If its a

Faraday's law allows us to find the magnetic field that produces the emf in the rotating system is:

The magnetic field is: B = 0.424 T

Faraday's law of induction states that when the magnetic flux changes in time, an induced electromotive force is produced.

fem = $- \frac{d \Phi_B }{dt}$

where fem is the induced electromotive force and Ф the flux,

The magnetic flux is the scalar product of the field and the area.

$\Phi_B = B . A = B A \ cos \theta$

In this case we have several turns, so the expression remains.

fem = $- N B A \ \frac{d cos \theta}{dt}$

Indicate that the turns rotate at a constant frequency, therefore we can use the uniform rotational motion ratio.

θ = w t

We substitute

$fem = - N B A \ \frac{d \ cos \ wt}{dt}\\fem = N B A w sin \ wt$

the maximum induced electromotive force occurs when the sine function is ±1

fem = N B A w

They indicate that the fem = 24 V, the number of the turn is N = 20, the area is A = 75 cm² = 75 10⁻⁴ m² and the frequency f = 60 Hz

Frequency and angular velocity are related.

w = 2π f

We substitute.

fem = N B A 2π f

$B = \frac{fem }{2 \pi \ NA \ f}$

Let's calculate.

$B= \frac{24 }{2\pi \ 20 \ 75 \ 10^{-4} 60}$ B = 24 / 2pi 20 75 10-4 60

B = 0.424 T

In conclusion, using Faraday's law we can find the magnetic field that produces the emf in the rotating system is:

The magnetic field is; B = 0.424 T

A woman of mass 50 kg is swimming with a velocity of 1.6 m/s. If she stops stroking and glides to a stop in the water, what is t

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Impulse of force = -80 Ns

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 50kg

Initial velocity = 1.6m/s

Since she glides to a stop, her final velocity equals to zero (0).

Now, we would find the change in velocity.

$Change \; in \; velocity = final \; velocity - initial \; velocity$

Substituting into the equation above;

Change in velocity = 0 - 1.6 = 1.6m/s

$Impulse \; of \; force = mass * change \; in \; velocity$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Impulse \; of \; force = 50 * -1.6$

Impulse of force = -80 Ns

Therefore, the impulse of the force that stops her is -80 Newton-seconds and it has a negative value because it is working in an opposite direction, thus, bringing her to a stop.

(Thought question) At noon On June 21 will the shadow length of 42 degrees north latitude be shorter or longer than it is on Mar

g100num [7]

Answer: Shorter

Explanation: Shadow is formed when an light source is obstructed by an opaque object. The closer the source, shorter is the length of the shadow. In fact, when the source is exactly overhead, no shadow of the object is formed.

June 21 marks the Summer solstice which means the Sun passes directly overhead Tropic of cancer (23.5° N) at noon. March 21 marks the equinox which means sun passes directly overhead equator (0°).

Shadow length of an object at 42° Northern latitude will be shorter on June 21 because the Sun will be closer to this latitude as compared to March 21.
