(a) The minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is 38.9 N.

(b) The acceleration of the block is 0.79 m/s².

<h3>Minimum force to be applied </h3>

The minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is calculated as follows;

Fcosθ = μ(s)Fₙ

Fcosθ = μ(s)mg

where;

μ(s) is coefficient of static friction
m is mass of the block
g is acceleration due to gravity

F = [0.1(36)(9.8)] / [(cos(25)]

F = 38.9 N

<h3>Acceleration of the block</h3>

F(net) = 38.9 - (0.03 x 36 x 9.8) = 28.32

a = F(net)/m

a = 28.32/36

a = 0.79 m/s²

Thus, the minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is 38.9 N.

The acceleration of the block is 0.79 m/s².

A 0.12 kg body undergoes simple harmonic motion of amplitude 8.5 cm and period 0.20 s. (a) What is themagnitude of the maximum f

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

a)F=698.83 N

b)K=8221.56 N/m

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m = 0.12 kg

Amplitude ,A= 8.5 cm

time period ,T = 0.2 s

We know that

$T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}$

${\omega}=\dfrac{2\pi }{0.2}\ rad/s$

${\omega}=31.41\ rad/s$

We know that

${\omega}^2=m\ K$

K=Spring constant

$K=\dfrac{\omega^2}{m}$

$K=\dfrac{31.41^2}{0.12}\ N/m$

K=8221.56 N/m

The maximum force F

F= K A

F= 8221.56 x 0.085 N

F=698.83 N

a)F=698.83 N

b)K=8221.56 N/m

In an attempt to reduce the extraordinarily long travel times for voyaging to distant stars, some people have suggested travelin

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

a) $v=0.999124c$

b) $E=7.566*10^{22}$

c) $E_a=760 times\ larger$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Distance to Betelgeuse $d_b=430ly$

Mass of Rocket $M_r=20000$

Total Time in years traveled $T_d=36years$

Total energy used by the United States in the year 2000 $E_{2000}=1.0*10^20$

Generally the equation of speed of rocket v mathematically given by

$v=\frac{2d}{\triangle t}$

$v=860ly/ \triangle t$

where

$\triangle t=\frac{\triangle t'}{(\sqrt{1-860/ \triangle t)^2}}$

$\triangle t=\frac{36}{(\sqrt{1-860/ \triangle t)^2}}$

$\triangle t=\sqrt{(860)^2+(36)^2}$

$\triangle t=860.7532$

Therefore

$v=\frac{860ly}{ 860.7532}$

$v=0.999124c$

b)

Generally the equation of the energy E required to attain prior speed mathematically given by

$E=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(v/c)^2} }-1(20000kg)(3*10^8m/s)^2$

$E=7.566*10^{22}$

c)Generally the equation of the energy $E_a$ required to accelerate the rocket mathematically given by

$E_a=\frac{E}{E_{2000}}$

$E_a=\frac{7.566*10^{22}}{1.0*10^{20}}$

$E_a=760 times\ larger$

What would you predict for this elephant's stride frequency? That is, how many steps per minute will the elephant take?

Sonja [21]

<span>` You can consider T to be in units of seconds/step. Frequency is the inverse of period, so
1/T = frequency and has units of steps per second. There will be 60 times as many steps in a minute.</span>

A ray of light traveling through air strikes a piece of diamond at an angle of incidence equal to 56 degrees. Calculate the angu

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The angle of separation is $\Delta \theta = 0.93 ^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The angle of incidence is $\theta _ i = 56^o$

The refractive index of violet light in diamond is $n_v = 2.46$

The refractive index of red light in diamond is $n_r = 2.41$

The wavelength of violet light is $\lambda _v = 400nm = 400*10^{-9}m$

The wavelength of red light is $\lambda _r = 700nm = 700*10^{-9}m$

Snell's Law can be represented mathematically as

$\frac{sin \theta_i}{sin \theta_r} = n$

Where $\theta_r$ is the angle of refraction

=> $sin \theta_r = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n}$

Now considering violet light

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_v}$

substituting values

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = \frac{sin (56)}{2.46}$

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = 0.337$

$\theta_r__{v}} = sin ^{-1} (0.337)$

$\theta_r__{v}} = 19.69^o$

Now considering red light

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_r}$

substituting values

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = \frac{sin (56)}{2.41}$

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = 0.344$

$\theta_r__{R}} = sin ^{-1} (0.344)$

$\theta_r__{R}} = 20.12^o$

The angle of separation between the red light and the violet light is mathematically evaluated as

$\Delta \theta = \theta_r__{R}} - \theta_r__{V}}$

substituting values

$\Delta \theta =20.12 - 19.69$

$\Delta \theta = 0.93 ^o$
