Imagine you derive the following expression by analyzing the physics of a particular system: a=gsinθ−μkgcosθ, where g=9.80meter/

second2. Simplify the expression for a by pulling out the common factor.
a.) a = g sinθ − μk g cosθ (no simplification should be performed on the expression in this situation)

b.) a = g (sinθ−μk cosθ)

c.) a = (9.80meter/second^2)sinθ −μk (9.80 meter/second^2)cosθ

Answer:

Explanation:

Analysis of structure gives

a=gsinθ−μkgcosθ

Notice that all the expression are right but we want to know of we can simplify the expression further.

We want to analyse if we can still further simplify the expression,

Inspecting the Right hand side of the equation, we notice that the acceleration due to gravity is common to both side, so we can bring it out i.e.

So option a is wrong because the expression can be simplified further to

a=g(sinθ−μkcosθ)

Option b is right and the best option.

Since we are given that, g=9.8m/s²

We can as well substitute that to option a

So we will have

a=9.8metre/second²(sinθ−μkcosθ)

Also option C is correct but it is not best inserting the values of g directly without simplifying the expression first

So it will have been the best option if it was written as

a=9.8metre/second²(sinθ−μkcosθ)

So the best option is B.

A 6.00-mH solenoid is connected in series with a 5.0-μF capacitor and an AC source. The solenoid has internal resistance 3.0 Ω w

son4ous [18]

Answer:

5773.50269 Hz

23 A

Explanation:

$L$ = Inductance = 6 mH

$C$ = Capacitance = 5 μF

$R$ = Resistance = 3 Ω

$\epsilon$ = Maximum emf = 69 V

Resonant angular frequency is given by

$\omega=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{6\times 10^{-3}\times 5\times 10^{-6}}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=5773.50269\ Hz$

The resonant angular frequency is 5773.50269 Hz

Current is given by

$I=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{69}{3}\\\Rightarrow I=23\ A$

The current amplitude at the resonant angular frequency is 23 A

Two Polaroids are aligned so that the initially unpolarized light passing through them is a maximum. At what angle should one of

steposvetlana [31]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the law of Malus which describes the change in the Intensity of Light when it crosses a polarized surface.

Mathematically the expression is given as

$I = I_0 cos^2\theta$

Where,

$I_0$ = Initial Intensity

I = Final Intensity after pass through the polarizer

$\theta$ = Angle between the polarizer and the light

Since it is sought to reduce the intensity by half the relationship between the two intensities will be given as

$\frac{I}{I_0} = \frac{1}{2}$

Using the Malus Law we have,

$I = I_0 cos^2\theta$

$cos^2\theta = \frac{I}{I_0}$

$cos^2\theta = \frac{1}{2}$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})^2$

$\theta = 75.52\°$

Angle with respect to maximum is $90-75.52 = 14.48\°$

A projector is placed on the ground 22 ft. away from a projector screen. A 5.2 ft. tall person is walking toward the screen at a

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

y = 67.6 feet, y = 114.4/ (22 - 3t)

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use that light travels in a straight line and some trigonometric relationships, the symbols are in the attached diagram

Large triangle Projector up to the screen

tan θ = y / L

For the small triangle. Projector up to the person

tan θ = y₀ / (L-d)

The angle is the same, so we equate the two equations

y₀ / (L -d) = y / L

y = y₀ L / (L-d)

The distance from the screen (d), we look for it with kinematics

v = d / t

d = v t

we replace

y = y₀ L / (L - v t)

y = 5.2 22 / (22 - 3 t)

y = 114.4 (22 - 3t)⁻¹

This is the equation of the shadow height change as a function of time

For the suggested distance the shadow has a height of

y = 114.4 / (22-13)

y = 67.6 feet

Answer:

The the analysis for the free fall part should be done under the constant acceleration.

Explanation:

In the given problem, the jumper is falling under the free fall. Since, no external force is acting on the body therefore, the fall will be under the action gravity only. also, the acceleration due to gravity is always constant.

Therefore, the the analysis for the free fall part should be done under the constant acceleration.

Waves transport

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

d)energy

Explanation:

Waves can transfer energy over distance without moving matter the entire distance. For example, an ocean wave can travel many kilometers without the water itself moving many kilometers. The water moves up and down—a motion known as a disturbance. It is the disturbance that travels in a wave, transferring energy.
