I'm studying the equilibrium of forces so hard that I got confused for a sec. Is the force due to gravity included in summing up

moments about a point? Or external forces are only considered in the summation of moments? Thanks!

Answer:

Yes, you would consider the mass × gravity at the centre of gravity of the object in question to cause a moment, hence it should be included in your resolution

At a particular instant, a proton at the origin has velocity < 5e4, -2e4, 0> m/s. You need to calculate the magnetic field
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

9.7\times 10^{-5} T

Explanation:

Velocity =5\times 10^4i-2\times 10^4j

r=0.03i+0.05j

r=\mid r\mid=\sqrt{(0.03)^2+(0.05)^2}=0.058

v=\mid V\mid=\sqrt{(5\times 10^4)^2+(-2\times 10^{4})^2}=5.39\times 10^{2}

We know that

B=\frac{mv}{qr}

Where q=1.6\times 10^{-19} C

Mass of proton=1.67\times 10^{-27} kg

Using the formula

B=\frac{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 5.39\times 10^2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.058}

B=9.7\times 10^{-5} T

A gas is compressed at a constant pressure of 0.800 atm from 12.00 L to 3.00 L. In the process, 390 J of energy leaves the gas b
Andru [333]

Answer:

a)W= - 720 J

b)ΔU= 330 J

Explanation:

Given that

P = 0.8 atm

We know that 1 atm = 100 KPa

P = 80 KPa

V₁ = 12 L = 0.012 m³       ( 1000 L = 1 m³)

V₂ = 3 L = 0.003 m³

Q= - 390 J ( heat is leaving from the system )

We know that work done by gas given as

W = P (V₂ -V₁ )

W= 80 x ( 0.003 - 0.012 ) KJ

W= - 0.72 KJ

W= - 720 J    ( Negative sign indicates work done on the gas)

From first law of thermodynamics

Q = W + ΔU

ΔU=Change in the internal energy

Now by putting the values

- 390 = - 720 + ΔU

ΔU= 720 - 390  J

ΔU= 330 J

Qué ocurre con el espectro cuando se interpone el celofán de colores?
Travka [436]

Answer: You will only see the color that cellophane lets through

Explanation:

Let's begin by the fact the whole electromagnetic spectrum is known as "white light", which is composed by a range of colors (wavelengths).

Now, if we have a source with white light (the Sun, for example) and we interpose a cellophane of any color (let's choose red), this cellophane will act as a filter and will only let pass the color of the cellophane.

This is because the filter will absorb the other colors of the spectrum.

How does the size of arctic foxes ears help to keep them warm in a cold environment
DochEvi [55]
artic foxes have thick white fur to keep them warm and also for camouflage in the snow they have small ears to keep the snow out of their ears so that they can hear better they also have thick fur lining and a thick pad on their feet this stops the paws from getting cold and they have short legs so then the body weight can be spread making it easier for the animal to not sink in the snow in the summer the artic fox turns brown to help make the fox invisible when people are hunting in the long grass

Describe the main energy transformations that occur when an apple falls from a tree? ​
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Kinetic energy

Explanation:

When an apple falls from a tree it has to do with the energy from gravity. Gravity energy turns into kinetic energy once its in motion.

Sorry if im wrong
