The equilibrium condition allows finding the result for the force that the chair exerts on the student is:

The reaction force that the chair exerts on the student's support is equal to the student's weight.

Newton's second law gives the relationship between force, mass and acceleration of bodies, in the special case that the acceleration is is zero equilibrium condition.

∑ F = 0

Where F is the external force.

The free body diagram is a diagram of the forces on bodies without the details of the shape of the body, in the attached we can see a diagram of the forces.

Let's analyze the force on the chair.

$N_{chair} - W_{chair} - W_{student} = 0 \\ \\N_{chair} = W_{chair} + W_{student}$

Let's analyze the forces on the student.

$N_{student} - W_{student} = 0 \\N_{student} = W _{student}$

In conclusion using the equilibrium condition we can find the result for the force that the chair exerts on the student is:

The reaction force that the chair exerts on the student's support is equal to the student's weight.

A girl moves quickly to the center of a spinning merry-go-round, traveling along the radius of the merry-go-round. Which of the

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The angular speed of the system increases.

The moment of inertia of the system decreases.

Explanation:

As we know that the girl is going towards the center of the circle so here the moment of inertia of the girl is given as

$I = mr^2$

here we know that

r = position of the girl from the center of the disc

now we know that the girl is moving towards the center so its distance will continuously decreasing

So the moment of inertia of the girl will decrease

Now we know that that with respect to the center of the disc there is no torque on the disc + girl system

So here we can use angular momentum conservation

So we have

$I\omega = constant$

since moment of inertia is decreasing for the system

so angular speed will increase

Explain whether demand is likely to be elastic or inelastic for Big Macs. A. Elastic comma since many other fast food items coul

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

A - elastic since many other fast food items could be considered close substitutes.

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand is how much the demand of the Big Macs will change due to a 1% change in price. Should the elasticity be greater than 1, the Big Macs will be elastic. Should it be less than 1, the Big Macs are inelastic.

Demand elasticity is calculated as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by a percentage change in price.

Since Big Macs are (i) a luxury good, and (ii) have close substitutes (other burgers available at McDonalds and other fast food stores), we will say their elasticity is greater than 1.

This means that the demand of Big Macs will change due to a 1% increase in price due to the presence of close substitutes.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: $5.214(10)^{11} N$

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's Law:

"The electrostatic force $F_{E}$ between two point charges $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance $d$ that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them".
