Answer : 413.44N

Here it is given that an elevator is moving down with an acceleration of 3.36 m/s² . And we are interested in finding out the apparent weight of a 64.2 kg man . For the diagram refer to the attachment .

From the elevator's frame ( non inertial frame of reference) , we would have to think of a pseudo force.
The direction of this force is opposite to the direction of acceleration the frame and its magnitude is equal to the product of mass of the concerned body with the acceleration of the frame .
When a elevator accelerates down , the weight recorded is less than the actual weight .

From the Free body diagram ,

$\sf\longrightarrow Weight = mg - ma \\$

$\sf\longrightarrow Weight = m ( g - a ) \\$

Mass of the man = 64.2 kg

$\sf\longrightarrow Weight = 64.2( 9.8 - 3.36) N\\$

$\sf\longrightarrow Weight = 64.2 * 6.44 N\\$

$\sf\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{\bf Weight_{apparent}= 413.44 N }} \\$

What has to be true about mass if a small object (like a metal ball) has a high density? A: The mass has to be high compared to

inysia [295]

<span>Since density is equal to mass divided by volume, we can determine the relationship between mass, density, and volume. Therefore, we can automatically know that the answer must either be A or B, since this information is determinable. The prompt lists the object as small. Therefore, we know that density is high, but volume is low. Let's examine the equation (D = M/V), where d = density, m = mass, and v = volume. In order for any number to be divided by a smaller number and have the end result be a higher number, the numerator (i.e. mass) must be bigger than the denominator (i.e. volume). We can also see that this is true by substituting in somewhat random numbers for d, m, and v. D = M / V 5 = 10 / 2 10 > 2 M > V In conclusion, your answer is D.</span>

The force between two objects, each of charge +Q is measured as +F when the objects are separated a distance d apart. If the cha

dybincka [34]

Answer:

$F'=4F$

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the force (F) between two objects with the same charge(+Q), separated a distance (d) apart, is defined as:

$F=\frac{kQ^2}{d^2}$

Here k is the Coulomb constant. The charge on each object is doubled, that is $Q'=2Q$ :

$F'=\frac{kQ'^2}{d^2}\\F'=\frac{k(2Q)^2}{d^2}\\F'=4\frac{kQ^2}{d^2}\\F'=4F$

A proton in a cyclotron is moving with a speed of 2.97×107 m/s in a circle of radius 0.568 m. 1.67 × 10−27 kg is the mass of the

vivado [14]

Answer:

B = 0.546 T, F = 2.59 10⁻¹² N

Explanation:

The magnetic force is

F = q v x B

We can calculate the magnitude of the force and find the direction by the right hand rule

F = q v B sin θ

Let's use Newton's second law

F = m a

Acceleration is centripetal

a = v² / r

We substitute

q v B sin θ = m v² / r

The angle between the field and the radius of the circle is 90º so sin 90 = 1

q B = m v / r

B = m v / q r

Let's calculate ’

B = 1.67 10⁻²⁷ 2.97 10⁷ / (1.60 10⁻¹⁹ 0.568)

B = 0.546 T

The foce is

F = q v B

F = 1.60 10⁻¹⁹ 2.97 10⁷ 0.546

F = 2.59 10⁻¹² N
