This is a problem about a child pushing a stack of two blocks along a horizontal floor. The masses of the blocks, and the coeffi

cients of friction between the two blocks and between the lower block and the floor will be given. In order to do the pushing, the child will only be touching one of the two blocks. The mass of the upper block in the stack is 0.760 kg . The mass of the lower block in the stack is 1.630 kg . The coefficients of friction between the two blocks are: static 0.790, and kinetic 0.660. The child's mother, who likes to encourage his experiments, has oiled a small strip of the horizontal floor so that it is very slick; the coefficient of kinetic friction between the oiled section of floor and the lower block is only 0.080 and the coefficient of static friction is insignificantly different. Before the pushing starts, here is a question about the vertical forces acting on the two blocks.
Required:
What is the vertical component of the contact force on the lower block by the floor?

Answer:

 N = 23.4 N

Explanation:

After reading that long sentence, let's solve the question

The contact force is the so-called normal in this case we can find it by writing the translational equilibrium equation for the y axis

            N - w₁ -w₂ =

            N = m₁ g + m₂ g

            N = g (m₁ + m₂)

let's calculate

            N = 9.8 (0.760 + 1.630)

            N = 23.4 N

This is the force of the support of the two blocks on the surface.

There is a puncture in the inner tor of your bicycle. Give a method to detect the position of the puncture
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Explanation:

The first method to engage is to listen to where the sound of air in the inner Tor escaping originated and look to see if u can find it. You can then feel the escape air with your hand.

You can Put it inside a container of water and see the bubble and rotate the inner tube to pass all of it through the water

A Hall probe, consisting of a rectangular slab of current-carrying material, is calibrated by placing it in a known magnetic fie
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

(a) 0.345 T

(b) 0.389 T

Solution:

As per the question:

Hall emf, V_{Hall} = 20\ mV = 0.02\ V

Magnetic Field, B = 0.10 T

Hall emf, V'_{Hall} = 69\ mV = 0.069\ V

Now,

Drift velocity, v_{d} = \frac{V_{Hall}}{B}

v_{d} = \frac{0.02}{0.10} = 0.2\ m/s

Now, the expression for the electric field is given by:

E_{Hall} = Bv_{d}sin\theta                            (1)

And

E_{Hall} = V_{Hall}d

Thus eqn (1) becomes

V_{Hall}d = dBv_{d}sin\theta

where

d = distance

B = \frac{V_{Hall}}{v_{d}sin\theta}                      (2)

(a) When \theta = 90^{\circ}

B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin90} = 0.345\ T

(b) When \theta = 60^{\circ}

B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin60} = 0.398\ T

Why is current a scalar quantity?
Nutka1998 [239]
Despite current has a magnitude and a direction, like vectors, it is a scalar because it doesn't obey laws of vector addition. For instance, if we  consider a junction of 90^{\circ} in a circuit, and two currents entering this junction, we know that the resultant current is just the algebraic sum of the two currents, not the vector sum, so it is not a vector quantity.

Two people are sitting on wheeled chairs 1 metre apart. Person A is holding a 2kg ball. Person A throws the ball to Person. What
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

B - Person A's chair rolls backwards.

Explanation:

This can be seen simply through the Conservation of Momentum. When the ball is thrown to be, the ball's momentum(+m) is transfererd to B, so B's chair moves forward(think about it - it makes sense, doesn't it?), meaning A's chair moves backwards.

So, B.
