Newton’s second law states that the acceleration a of an object is proportional to the force F acting on it is inversely proport

netineya [11]

Answer:

$[F]=[MLT^{-2}]$

Explanation:

Newton’s second law states that the acceleration a of an object is proportional to the force F acting on it is inversely proportional to its mass m. The mathematical expression for the second law of motion is given by :

F = m × a

F is the applied force

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration due to gravity

We need to find the dimensions of force. The dimension of force m and a are as follows :

$[m]=[M]$

$[a]=[LT^{-2}]$

So, the dimension of force F is, $[F]=[MLT^{-2}]$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

What elements are good conductors of electricity?

kramer

In solids: All metals are good conductors of electricity as they contain free moving electrons. Non-metals doesn't conduct , but we consider Graphite the only non-metal that can conduct electricity for the presence of free moving electrons.

In Liquids ; Ionic compunds contains free moving ions , so they conduct electricity as well .

A small drop of water is suspended motionless in air by a uniform electric field that is directed upward and has a magnitude of

Gennadij [26K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the electric field such as the smelting of the Force and the load (In this case the force is equivalent to the weight). Later we will apply the ratio of the total charge as a function of the multiplication of the number of electrons and their individual charge.

$E = \frac{mg}{q}$

Here,

m = mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Rearranging to find the charge,

$q = \frac{mg}{E}$

Replacing,

$q = \frac{(3.37*10^{-9})(9.8)}{11000}$

$q = 3.002*10^{-12}C$

Since the field is acting upwards the charge on the drop should be negative to balance it in air. The equation to find the number of electrons then is

$q = ne$

Here,

n = Number of electrons

e = Charge of each electron

$n = \frac{q}{e}$

Replacing,

$n = \frac{3.002*10^{-12}}{1.6*10^{-19}}$

$n = 2.44*10^7$

Therefore the number of electrons that reside on the drop is $2.44*10^7$

Suppose that an object is moving along a vertical line. Its vertical position is given by the equation L(t) = 2t3 + t2-5t + 1, w

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The average velocity is

$266\frac{m}{s},274\frac{m}{s}$ and $117\frac{m}{s}$ respectively.

Explanation:

Let's start writing the vertical position equation :

$L(t)=2t^{3}+t^{2}-5t+1$

Where distance is measured in meters and time in seconds.

The average velocity is equal to the position variation divided by the time variation.

$V_{avg}=\frac{Displacement}{Time}$ = Δx / Δt = $\frac{x2-x1}{t2-t1}$

For the first time interval :

t1 = 5 s → t2 = 8 s

The time variation is :

$t2-t1=8s-5s=3s$

For the position variation we use the vertical position equation :

$x2=L(8s)=2.(8)^{3}+8^{2}-5.8+1=1049m$

$x1=L(5s)=2.(5)^{3}+5^{2}-5.5+1=251m$

Δx = x2 - x1 = 1049 m - 251 m = 798 m

The average velocity for this interval is

$\frac{798m}{3s}=266\frac{m}{s}$

For the second time interval :

t1 = 4 s → t2 = 9 s

$x2=L(9s)=2.(9)^{3}+9^{2}-5.9+1=1495m$

$x1=L(4s)=2.(4)^{3}+4^{2}-5.4+1=125m$

Δx = x2 - x1 = 1495 m - 125 m = 1370 m

And the time variation is t2 - t1 = 9 s - 4 s = 5 s

The average velocity for this interval is :

$\frac{1370m}{5s}=274\frac{m}{s}$

Finally for the third time interval :

t1 = 1 s → t2 = 7 s

The time variation is t2 - t1 = 7 s - 1 s = 6 s

Then

$x2=L(7s)=2.(7)^{3}+7^{2}-5.7+1=701m$

$x1=L(1s)=2.(1)^{3}+1^{2}-5.1+1=-1m$

The position variation is x2 - x1 = 701 m - (-1 m) = 702 m

The average velocity is

$\frac{702m}{6s}=117\frac{m}{s}$
