you tend to push off with the foot still on the boat.

Newtons 3rd law of motion hold that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

So, the amount of force you use on your back foot to push yourself onto the dock, has an equal end opposite amount of force going the other way from your sole of your foot, which pushes the boat the other way.

The same principle applies when you fire a cannon - in the pirate films, you see the body of the cannon forced back as it is fired.

Take it one step further, Henry VIII flagship, “Mary Rose fired all its cannons together one day in a broad side, the opposite force rolled the ship over and sank it.

1. The current in a wire is 0.72A. Calculate the charge that passes through the wire in; a. 4 s b. 60 s c. 180 s d. 7 s e. 0.5 s

Vlad [161]

Let current be I, charge be Q and time be t.
Here we are provided with,
I = 0.72A
t = 4s / 60s / 180s / 7s / 0.5s
We know,
I = Q/t

Case I
---------
When, t = 4s
0.72 = Q/4
Q = 0.72 * 4 = 2.88C

Case II
----------
When, t = 60s
0.72 = Q/60
Q = 0.72 * 60 = 43.2C

Case III
-----------
When, t = 180s
0.72 = Q/180
Q = 0.72 * 180 = 129.6C

Case IV
-----------
When, t = 7s
0.72 = Q/7
Q = 0.72 * 7 = 5.04C

Case V
----------
When, t = 0.5s
0.72 = Q/0.5
Q = 0.72 * 0.5 = 0.36C

A 5.31 kg object is swung in a vertical circular path on a string 2.99 m long. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . If the

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

T = 120.3 N

Explanation:

Since, the tension in the rope is acting against both the centripetal force and the weight of the stone. As both act downward towards center of the circle and tension acts towards point of support that is upward. So, tension will be equal to the sum of centripetal force and weight of the stone:

Tension = Centripetal Force + Weight of Stone

T = mv²/r + mg

where,

m = mass of stone = 5.31 kg

r = radius of circle = length of string = 2.99 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

T = (5.31 kg)(6.2 m/s)²/(2.99 m) + (5.31 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

T = 68.27 N + 52.03 N

The magnetic field strength at the north pole of a 2.0-cmcm-diameter, 8-cmcm-long Alnico magnet is 0.10 TT. To produce the same

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

2653 turns

Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter,d=2 cm

Length of magnet,l=8 cm= $8\times 10^{-2} m$

1m=100 cm

Magnetic field,B=0.1 T

Current,I=2.4 A

We are given that

Magnetic field of solenoid and magnetic are same and size of both solenoid and magnetic are also same.

Length of solenoid= $8\times 10^{-2} m$

Magnetic field of solenoid

$B=\frac{\mu_0NI}{l}$

Using the formula

$0.1=\frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 2.4\times N}{8\times 10^{-2}}$

Where $\mu_0=4\pi\times 10^{-7}$

$N=\frac{0.1\times 8\times 10^{-2}}{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 2.4}=2653 turns$
