Answer:


Inclined Plane


Explanation:


An inclined plane, also known as a ramp, is a flat supporting surface tilted at an angle, with one end higher than the other, used as an aid for raising or lowering a load. The inclined plane is one of the six classical simple machines.


The basic principle of Inclined pane is as follows


W = F x D ( Force times Distance)


where W shows the word done.

Suppose you want to use this human engine to lift a 2.35 kg box from the floor to a tabletop 1.30 m above the floor. How much mu
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The increase in the gravitational potential energy is 29.93 joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the box, m = 2.35 kg

It is lifted from the floor to a tabletop 1.30 m above the floor, h = 1.3 m

We need to find the increase the gravitational potential energy. Initial it will placed at ground i.e. its initial gravitational potential is equal to 0. The increase in the gravitational potential energy is given by :

U=mgh

U=2.35\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 1.3\ m

U = 29.93 Joules

So, the increase in the gravitational potential energy is 29.93 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

A hockey puck has a coefficient of kinetic friction of μk = .35. If the puck feels a normal force (FN) of 5 N, what is the frict
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The frictional force is  F_f =  1.75 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The coefficient of kinetic force is  μk = 0.35

     The normal force felt by the puck is  F_N  =  5 \  N

Generally the frictional force that acts on the puck is mathematically represented as

          F_f =  \mu_k  *  F_N

=>       F_f =  0.35  *  5

=>       F_f =  1.75 \  N

Scientific work is currently underway to determine whether weak oscillating magnetic fields can affect human health. For example
iragen [17]

Given Information:

Magnetic field = B = 1×10⁻³ T

Frequency = f = 72.5 Hz

Diameter of cell = d = 7.60 µm = 7.60×10⁻⁶ m

Required Information:

Maximum Emf = ?

Answer:

Maximum Emf = 20.66×10⁻¹² volts

Explanation:

The maximum emf generated around the perimeter of a cell in a field is given by

Emf = BAωcos(ωt)

Where A is the area, B is the magnetic field and ω is frequency in rad/sec

For maximum emf cos(ωt) = 1

Emf = BAω

Area is given by

A = πr²

A = π(d/2)²

A = π(7.60×10⁻⁶/2)²

A = 45.36×10⁻¹² m²

We know that,

ω = 2πf

ω = 2π(72.5)

ω = 455.53 rad/sec

Finally, the emf is,

Emf = BAω

Emf = 1×10⁻³*45.36×10⁻¹²*455.53

Emf = 20.66×10⁻¹² volts

Therefore, the maximum emf generated around the perimeter of the cell is 20.66×10⁻¹² volts

Light travels 186 000 miles per second.how many miles dose light travel in one year
Troyanec [42]

       (186,000 mi/sec) x (3,600 sec/hr) x (24 hr/da) x (365 da/yr)

  =   (186,000 x 3,600 x 24 x 365)  mi/yr

  =      5,865,696,000,000  miles per year  (rounded to the nearest million miles)

Propose an experiment that could be used to demonstrate that friction is a contact force?
vesna_86 [32]
Maybe push or pull an object with a large amount of mass? you are force a (pushing through object) aka making contact. i hope i helped not good with physics :)
