The given problem can be exemplified in the following diagram:

Since there is no friction or any other external force, the only force acting in the direction of the movement is the component of the weight of the block, therefore, applying Newton's second law:

\Sigma F=ma

Replacing the values:

mg\sin 40=ma

We may cancel out the mass:

g\sin 40=a

Using the gravity constant as 9.8 meters per square second:

9.8\frac{m}{s^2}\sin 40=a

Solving the operations:

6.3\frac{m}{s^2}=a

Therefore, the acceleration is 6.3 meters per square second.

What is nuclear fission? why is this process important to stars?
KIM [24]

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei come very close and then collide at a very high speed and join to form a new nucleus. This process is important to stars because they get their energy from the nuclear fusion process

As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp
faltersainse [42]

Answer:  The volume of gas expands because of the decrease in pressure as he tries to exit the water body, therefore he must take necessary precaution.

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the  the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature

ie P1VI=P2V2

A diver absorbs compressed nitrogen gas when  he dives into the water body, As he ascends  out of the water body having less pressure, the volume of nitrogen gas which he absorbs will tend to expand following  Boyle's Law.  Therefore a scuba driver should not rises quickly but slowly  to the surface or else the  expanding nitrogen gas can cause tiny bubbles in his blood and tissue to form together with joints pains and eventually  cause decompression sickness needing medical attention.

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

A basic quantity is basically the physical quantity that can not be defined in terms of other quantities.

Explanation:

A basic quantity is basically the physical quantity that can not be defined in terms of other quantities.

Some of the names of the basic quantities include:

  1. Mass, denoted by the symbol 'm', with S.I. unit 'kg'
  2. Length, denoted by symbol 'l', with S.I. unit 'm'
  3. Time, denoted by symbol 't', with S.I. unit 's'
  4. Current, denoted by 'I', with S.I. unit 's' 'A'
  5. Temperature, denoted by 'T', with S.I. unit 'K'
  6. Amount of substance, denoted by 'n', with S.I. unit 'mol'
  7. Luminous Intensity, denoted by 'Iv', with S.I. unit 'cd'

  • A basic quantity is chosen arbitrarily.
