The defined friction force allows you to find which is the correct result for what type of wax you should use:

        B. One where the coefficient of static friction is larger.  

The friction force is a macroscopic force that opposes the relative movement of bodies, it is the sum of many interactions at the microscope level.

In general for solid bodies the expression of the out of friction is

             fr = \mu N

 

Where fr is the friction force, μ the friction coefficient and N the normal.

The friction coefficient can be of two types:

  • Static for when the relative velocity between the two bodies is zero.
  • Dynamic when the relative velocity between the two bodies is different from zero.

In general, the dynamic coefficient is less than the static one.

In this case, as the temperature increases, the friction coefficient  decreases, so the skier begins to slide downwards. To prevent this sliding, he must use a wax with a higher friction coefficient.

If you only want to stand on the hill, a wax with a static coefficient must be used, while standing if you want to advance on the hill you must use a wax with a dynamic coefficient since there is a relative movement between the skier and the hill.

Let's examine the different alternatives:

A. False. The friction coefficient must be higher, so that there is more friction force.

B. True. The friction increases and can be stopped on the hill and move up the hill.

C. False In this case, you can go up the hill, but if you stop, you can go back.

D. False. The coefficient must be higher, to increase friction.

Consequently we see that the only type of wax that will allow you to stand or advance on the hill is

       B.  A wax with a higher statutory coefficient.

In conclusion, using the defined friction force we can find the correct result for what type of wax to use is:

         B. One where the coefficient of static friction is larger.

A long, straight, horizontal wire carries a left-to-right current of 40 A. If the wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field of
Drupady [299]

Answer:

4.5\times 10^{-5} T

Explanation:

We are given that

Current in wire=40 A

Magnetic field=B_1=3.5\times 10^{-5} T( vertically downward)

We have to find the resultant magnitude of the magnetic field 29 cm above the wire and 29 cm below the wire.

According to Bio-Savart law, the magnetic field exerted by the wire at distance R is given by

B_{wire}=B_2=\frac{\mu_0I}{2\pi R}

We have R=29 cm=\frac{29}{100}=0.29 m

1 m=100 cm

Substitute the values in the given formula

B_2=\frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 40}{2\times \pi\times 0.29}=\frac{2\times 40\times 10^{-7}}{0.29}=2.76\times 10^{-5} T

The resultant magnetic field is given by

B=\sqrt{B^2_1+B^2_2}

Substitute the values then we get

B=\sqrt{(3.5\times 10^{-5})^2+(2.76\times 10^{-5})^2}

B=4.5\times 10^{-5} T

The resultant magnitude of magnetic field is same above and below the wire as it is at same distance.

The resultant magnitude of the magnetic field 29 cm below the wire=4.5\times 10^{-5} T

Hence, the resultant magnitude of the magnetic field 29 cm above  the wire=4.5\times 10^{-5} T

A wheel that is rotating at 33.3 rad/s is given an angular acceleration of 2.15 rad/s 2. Through what angle has the wheel turned
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The angle through which the wheel turned is 947.7 rad.

Explanation:

initial angular velocity, \omega _i = 33.3 rad/s

angular acceleration, α = 2.15 rad/s²

final angular velocity, \omega_f = 72 rad/s

angle the wheel turned, θ = ?

The angle through which the wheel turned can be calculated by applying the following kinematic equation;

\omega_f^2 = \omega_i^2 + 2\alpha \theta\\\\\theta = \frac{\omega_f^2\   -\  \omega_i^2}{2\alpha } \\\\\theta = \frac{(72)^2\   -\  (33.3)^2}{2(2.15)}\\\\\theta = 947.7 \ rad

Therefore, the angle through which the wheel turned is 947.7 rad.
