The force by which earth attracts anobject is know as weight of that particular object.

so,

=》weight ( F ) = mass ( M ) × acceleration ( A )

=》F = 85 × 9.8

( because acceleration due to gravity = 9.8, but sometimes it is taken as approx 10 )

=》F = 833 Newton.

note : if you take acceleration due to gravity as 10 then the weight of the person = 85 × 10 = 850 N )

i hope it helped.....

Suppose you wish to fabricate a uniform wire out of 1.10 g of copper. If the wire is to have a resistance R = 0.390 Ω, and if al

Citrus2011 [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to volume, as a function of length and area, as of mass and density. Later we will take the same concept of resistance and resistivity, equal to the length per unit area. Once obtained from the known constants it will be possible to obtain the area by matching the two equations:

Mass of copper wire $(m) = 1.10g = 1.10*10^{-3} kg$

Density $(\rho)= 8.92*10^3kg/m^3$

Resistively of copper $(\gamma) = 1.7*10^{-8}\Omega \cdot m$

Resistance (R) = 0.390\Omega

Volume is defined as,

$V= lA \text{ and }\frac{m}{\rho}$

$lA= \frac{1.10*10^{-3}}{8.92*10^3}$

$lA = 1.233*10^{-7} m^3$ (1)

We know that,

$\frac{l}{A} = \frac{R}{\gamma}$

$\frac{l}{A}= \frac{0.390\Omega}{1.7*10^{-8}\Omega m}$

$\frac{l}{A} = 2.2941*10^7 m^{-1}$ (2)

Multiplying equation we have

$l^2 = (1.233*10^{-7})( 2.2941*10^7)$

$l^2 = 2.8286m^2$

$l =\sqrt{2.8286m^2}$

$l = 1.68m$

Therefore the length of the wire is 1.68m

An infinitely long straight wire has a uniform linear charge density of Derive the 4. equation for the electric field a distance

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

$E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}$

Explanation:

Let the linear charge density of the charged wire is given as

$\frac{q}{L} = \lambda$

here we can use Gauss law to find the electric field at a distance r from wire

so here we will assume a Gaussian surface of cylinder shape around the wire

so we have

$\int E. dA = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$

here we have

$E \int dA = \frac{\lambda L}{\epsilon_0}$

$E. 2\pi r L = \frac{\lambda L}{\epsilon_0}$

so we have

$E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}$

How long could you survive without electricity? What parts of your life would be affected by loss of electricity?

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Depends on the person, if you are hooked to your phone which most people are these days, you might go a little crazy. But think cavemen or anybody long ago, they survived without electricity. People in Africa bathe in the lake or any water nearby, they also walk for miles just to get drinking water. So yes, if you really tried you could go without electricity for possibly your whole life. It sucks if you have homework though because you don't have Brainly :)

For a freely falling object weighing 3 kg : A. what is the object's velocity 2 s after it's release. B. What is the kinetic ener

Fed [463]

A) 19.6 m/s (downward)

B) 576 J

C) 19.6 m

D) Velocity: not affected, kinetic energy: doubles, distance: not affected

Explanation:

An object in free fall is acted upon one force only, which is the force of gravity.

Therefore, the motion of an object in free fall is a uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration). Therefore, we can find its velocity by applying the following suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where:

v is the velocity at time t

u is the initial velocity

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

For the object in this problem, taking downward as positive direction, we have:

$u=0$ (the object starts from rest)

$a=9.8 m/s^2$

Therefore, the velocity after

t = 2 s

is:

$v=0+(9.8)(2)=19.6 m/s$ (downward)

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion.

It can be calculated using the equation:

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the speed of the object

For the object in the problem, at t = 2 s, we have:

m = 3 kg (mass of the object)

v = 19.6 m/s (speed of the object)

Therefore, its kinetic energy is:

$KE=\frac{1}{2}(3)(19.6)^2=576 J$

In order to find how far the object has fallen, we can use another suvat equation for uniformly accelerated motion:

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

s is the distance covered

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For the object in free fall in this problem, we have:

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration of gravity)

t = 2 s (time)

Therefore, the distance covered is

$s=0+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(2)^2=19.6 m$

Here the mass of the object has been doubled, so now it is

M = 6 kg

For part A) (final velocity of the object), we notice that the equation that we use to find the velocity does not depend at all on the mass of the object. This means that the value of the final velocity is not affected.

For part B) (kinetic energy), we notice that the kinetic energy depends on the mass, so in this case this value has changed.

The new kinetic energy is

$KE'=\frac{1}{2}Mv^2$

where

M = 6 kg is the new mass

v = 19.6 m/s is the speed

Substituting,

$KE'=\frac{1}{2}(6)(19.6)^2=1152 J$

And we see that this value is twice the value calculated in part A: so, the kinetic energy has doubled.

Finally, for part c) (distance covered), we see that its equation does not depend on the mass, therefore this value is not affected.
