Why do you keep your legs far apart when you have to stand in the aisle of a bumpy-riding bus??

Physics

Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago

<span>If you stand with your legs together, you aren’t going to be able to balance as easily, and you may well end up in the lap of someone who is sitting down. If you spread your legs apart, however, you will be able to plant your feet and lean into any bumps, thus drastically lowering your chance of falling.</span>

What's the difference between Uniform magnetic field and Non-uniform magnetic field?
Galina-37 [17]
Magnetic field is the magnetic effect of electric currents and magnetic materials. The magnetic field at any given point specified by both direction and a magnitude. So uniform magnetic field has equal amount of force or magnetic force in both side of the object while the non uniform magnetic field has one of the object exert more than the other

PLEASE HURRY 20 PTS
Crank

Answer:

A. The electric field points to the left because the force on a negative charge is opposite to the direction of the field.

Explanation:

The electric force exerted on a charge by an electric field is given by:

where

F is the force

q is the charge

E is the electric field

We see that if the charge is negative, q contains a negative sign, so the force F and the electric field E will have opposite signs (which means they have opposite directions). This is due to the fact that the direction of the lines of an electric field shows the direction of the electric force experienced by a positive charge in that electric field: therefore, a negative charge will experience a force into opposite direction.

If half of the weight of a flatbed truck is supported by its two drive wheels, what is the maximum acceleration it can achieve o
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Maximum acceleration will be equal to 3.43m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.7

And coefficient of static friction \mu _s=1

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

When truck moves maximum force will be equal to F=\mu _kmg

It is given that half of the weight is supported by its drive wheels

So force required =\frac{\mu _kmg}{2}

From newtons law maximum acceleration will be equal to a=\frac{\frac{\mu _kmg}{2}}{m}=\frac{\mu _kg}{2}=\frac{0.7\times 9.8}{2}=3.43m/sec^2

A bar magnet is dropped toward a conducting ring lying on the floor. As the magnet falls toward the ring, does it move as a free
REY [17]

Explanation:

According to the Faraday-Lenz law, a conductive ring generates an induced current due to the change in the magnetic flux caused by the motion of the bar magnet. This induced current generates a magnetic field opposite to the magnetic field of the bar, generating an upward force that opposes the weight of the bar magnet, Therefore, it does not move as a freely  falling object.

Identify three situations in which convection occurs.
Minchanka [31]
A boiling pot of water (the water travels in a current throughout the pot), a hot air balloon (hot air rises, making the balloon rise) , and cup of a steaming, hot liquid (hot air rises, creating steam) are all situations where convection occurs.
