Hi there!

In this instance, the centripetal force experienced by the moon is equivalent to the gravitational force.

Thus:
\large\boxed{F_c = F_g}

Centripetal acceleration, according to Newton's Second Law:


\Sigma F = ma \\\\F_c = m * a_c\\\\a_c = \frac{F_c}{m}

Therefore:

a_c = \frac{F_g}{m_m} = \frac{2 * 10^{21}N}{1 * 10^{20}kg} = \boxed{20 N/kg}

Magnetic resonance imaging needs a magnetic field strength of 1.5 T. The solenoid is 1.8 m long and 75 cm in diameter. It is tig
TEA [102]

Answer:I=2.27\times 10^3 A

Explanation:

Given

Magnetic Field Strength B=1.5 T

Length of solenoid L=1.8 m

Diameter of Solenoid D=75 cm

diameter of wire d=1.90 mm

No of turns N=\frac{Length\ of\ solenoid}{diameter\ of\ wire}

N=\frac{1.8}{1.90\times 10^{-3}}=947.36 turns

Magnetic Field is given by

B=\frac{\mu _0NI}{L}

where \mu _0=magnetic\ permeability\ of\ free\ space=4\pi \times 10^{-7}

I =current

Thus I=\frac{BL}{\mu _0N}

I=\frac{1.5\times 1.8}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 947.36}

I=2270 A

I=2.27\times 10^3 A

A 5 kg box is lying at rest on a frictionless surface. If you push it with a constant net force of 10 N, how far will it travel
Contact [7]

The distance traveled by the box over the first 4 s  is 16 m.

To solve the problem above,  First, we apply newton's Fundamental equation of force.

<h3 /><h3>Newton's fundamental equation of force:</h3>

F = ma...................... Equation 1

Where

  • F = Force
  • m = mass of the box
  • a = acceleration

make "a " the subject of the equation

a = F/m...................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • F = 10 N
  • m = 5 kg

Substitute these values into equation 2

a = 10/5

a = 2 m/s²

Finally, we use the equation of motion to calculate the distance it will travel over the given period of time.

<h3><u>Equation of motion</u></h3>

s = ut+at²/2........................... Equation 3

Where:

  • s = total distance traveled
  • t = time
  • u = initial velocity

Given:

  • t = 4 s
  • u = 0 m/s (at rest)
  • a = 2 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 3

  • s = 0(4)+(2×4²)/2
  • s = 0+32/2
  • s = 16 m

Hence, the distance traveled by the box over the first 4 s  is 16 m

With the help of diagram explain reflection from smooth and rough surface​
aleksley [76]

For a smooth surface, reflected light rays travel in the same direction. This is called specular reflection. For a rough surface, reflected light rays scatter in all directions. This is called diffuse reflection. Diffuse reflection is when light hits an object and reflects in lots of different directions.
