Need help in showing how to get the final velocity​

Physics

I don't think the provided solution is correct because it's not dimensionally consistent. The quantity 8h-1 in particular doesn't make sense since it's mixing a distance with a dimensionless constant.

Here's how I think the proper answer should look:

The net force on the box acting perpendicular to the ramp is

\sum F_\perp = F_{\rm normal} - mg \cos(\theta) = 0

where F_{\rm normal} is the magnitude of the normal force due to contact with the ramp and mg\cos(\theta) is the magnitude of the box's weight acting in this direction. The net force is zero since the box doesn't move up or down relative to the plane of motion.

The net force acting parallel the ramp is

\sum F_\| = mg\sin(\theta) - F_{\rm friction} = ma

where mg\sin(\theta) is the magnitude of the parallel component of the box's weight, F_{\rm friction} is the magnitude of kinetic friction, and a is the acceleration of the box.

From the first equation, we find

F_{\rm normal} = mg \cos(\theta)

and since F_{\rm friction} = \mu F_{\rm normal}, we get from the second equation

mg\sin(\theta) - \mu mg\cos(\theta) = ma

and with \mu = 0.25 and \theta=60^\circ, we get

a = g\sin(60^\circ) - 0.25g \cos(60^\circ) = \left(\dfrac{\sqrt3}2 - \dfrac18\right) g

Let x be the length of the ramp, i.e. the distance that the box covers as it slides down it. Then the box attains a final velocity v such that

v^2 = 2ax

From the diagram, we see that

\sin(\theta) = \dfrac hx \implies x = \dfrac h{\sin(60^\circ)} = \dfrac{2h}{\sqrt3}

and so

v^2 = \dfrac{4ah}{\sqrt3} = \left(2 - \dfrac1{2\sqrt3}\right) hg = \dfrac14 \left(8 - \dfrac2{\sqrt3}\right) hg

\implies v = \dfrac12 \sqrt{\left(8 - \dfrac2{\sqrt3}\right) hg}

Is pine mountain ga a destructive or constructive force?
pochemuha
<span>A mountain is a type of constructive force. This is because the mountains are formed (or "constructed") through the convergence of land plates. When the two (or more) plates come together, they cause the land at the fault line to shift upward, leading to the formation of mountains.</span>

Bright white shadings on infrared images indicate cloud tops that have relatively ________ temperatures
Maru [420]
Infrared is created by detecting the produced radiation coming off of clouds. The temperature of the cloud will define the wavelength of radiation produced from the cloud. The benefit of the infrared imagery is that can be used day and night to conclude the temperature of the cloud tops and earth surface structures and to get the general idea of how clouds are. Based on the general guidelines to define cloud features, if the cloud is bright white on infrared then it is a high cloud or has a cloud top that is developed high into the troposphere. In this way infrared images actually display patterns of temperature on a gray scale such that at one extreme dark gray is warm and at the other extreme bright white is cold. A color scale is used to portray temperature and some improved infrared images show two or more gray scale sequences. High cold clouds are brighter white than low warm clouds.

If the fundamental frequency of a musical instrument is 42Hz, what is the frequency of the second harmonic?
timurjin [86]
For the majority of instruments f = n f0 where f is the resonating frequency, n is any whole number and f0 is the fundamental. 
<span>This applies to trumpets, violins, flutes and a broad range. </span>
<span>In such a </span>case<span> the first harmonic would be at n=1 and the second harmonic would be at n=2 </span>

You are doing x-ray diffraction on a crystal that has a cubic structure, using 0.340-nm x rays. Part A If the lattice spacing is
Mrac [35]

Answer:

∅ = 0.26°

Explanation:

Bragg's law states that:

n×λ = 2×d×sin(∅)

<em>where:</em>

  • <em>d is the lattice spacing.</em>
  • <em>λ is the wavelength of the rays.</em>
  • <em>n is the order of the diffracted rays, n = 1.</em>

then:

sin(∅) = λ/2×d

    ∅ = sin^-1(λ/2×d)

    ∅ = 0.26°
