Answer:

The correct option is;

A. The component of the woman's weight along the hillside is larger than the kinetic friction between the woman and the ground

Explanation:

Given that the coefficient of static friction is always larger than the coefficient of kinetic friction, we have that before the wind blew, the component of the woman's weight along the hillside was lesser than the static friction between the woman and the ground, when the wind blew the total force of the wind and the component of the woman's weight put her into motion such that the acting frictional force was then the kinetic frictional force which was lesser than the kinetic frictional force so the woman continues to slide down the hillside without the wind.

How large a band of frequencies does each television broadcasting channel get ?

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Since the waves must carry a great deal of visual as well as audio information, each channel requires a larger range of frequencies than simple radio transmission. TV channels utilize frequencies in the range of 54 to 88 MHz and 174 to 222 MHz. (The entire FM radio band lies between channels 88 MHz and 174 MHz.)

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at

inn [45]

Answer:

a) $v=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}$

b) $H=8.9605\,m$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of bullet, $m=4.97\times 10^{-3}\,kg$

compression of the spring, $\Delta x=0.0476\,m$

force required for the given compression, $F=9.12 \,N$

(a)

We know

$F=m.a$

where:

a= acceleration

$9.12=4.97\times 10^{-3}\times a$

$a\approx 1835\,m.s^{-2}\\$

we have:

initial velocity, $u=0\,m.s^{-1}$

Using the eq. of motion:

$v^2=u^2+2a.\Delta x$

where:

v= final velocity after the separation of spring with the bullet.

$v^2= 0^2+2\times 1835\times 0.0476$

$v=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}$

(b)

Now, in vertical direction we take the above velocity as the initial velocity "u"

so,

$u=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}$

∵At maximum height the final velocity will be zero

$v=0\,m.s^{-1}$

Using the equation of motion:

$v^2=u^2-2g.h$

where:

h= height

g= acceleration due to gravity

$0^2=13.2171^2-2\times 9.8\times h$

$h=8.9129\,m$

is the height from the release position of the spring.

So, the height from the latched position be:

$H=h+\Delta x$

$H=8.9129+0.0476$

$H=8.9605\,m$

Why is the rotation system used in volleyball? Physics was the closest thing to PE

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

A rotation occurs after every side out, which is when the receiving team gains the right to serve by winning a rally. ... The new serving team will rotate clockwise one spot. The purpose of this is to rotate all the players through the serving position. If you continue winning points, you stay in position.
