The mass on the left has a downslope weight of  

W1 = 3.5kg * 9.8m/s² * sin35º = 19.7 N  

The mass on the right has a downslope weight of  

W2 = 8kg * 9.8m/s² * sin35º = 45.0 N  

The net is 25.3 N pulling downslope to the right.  

(a) Therefore we need 25.3 N of friction force.  

Ff = 25.3 N = µ(m1 + m2)gcosΘ = µ * 11.5kg * 9.8m/s² * cos35º  

25.3N = µ * 92.3 N  

µ = 0.274  

(b) total mass is 11.5 kg, and the net force is 25.3 N, so  

acceleration a = F / m = 25.3N / 11.5kg = 2.2 m/s²  

tension T = 8kg * (9.8sin35 - 2.2)m/s² = 27 N  

Check: T = 3.5kg * (9.8sin35 + 2.2)m/s² = 27 N √

hope this helps.   :)

Answer:

constructive interference in which waves strengthen each other

Explanation:

Some definitions:

- Costructive interference occurs when two (or more) waves meet each other in phase, so with same displacement at the same point. In such situation, the two waves strengthen each other, and the amplitude of the resultant wave is the sum of the amplitudes of the individual waves

- Destructive interference occurs when two waves meet each other in anti-phase, so with opposite displacement at the same point. In such situation, the two waves cancel each other out, and the amplitude of the resultant wave is the difference of the amplitudes of the individual waves (which means zero if the two waves are identical)

For light waves interfering with each other, 'white' means costructive interference, while 'black' means destructive interference (because black is absence of colors, so this means that the waves cancel each other out). In this problem, we see that point X, Y and X are white, therefore they are point of constructive interference, where the waves strengthen each other.

a gas is placed inside a very cold box . The gas molecules transfer heat to the walls of the box. Which best describes what happ
insens350 [35]
As the gas cools down, particle movement slows down with it, and so does the temperature of the gas. This is because the more heat or thermal energy a gas has, the faster the particles move. This is why absolute zero, or 0 degrees Kelvin is defined as zero particle movement, because it has zero energy.

Which of the following statements are true concerning the reflection of light?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

b. The reflection of light from a smooth surface is called specular reflection.

c. The reflection of light from a rough surface is called diffuse reflection.

Explanation:

a. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection only when a ray of light strikes a plane mirror.

This is wrong: Based on law of reflection "The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection when light strikes any plane surface" examples plane mirrors, still waters, plane tables, etc

b. The reflection of light from a smooth surface is called specular reflection.

This is correct

c. The reflection of light from a rough surface is called diffuse reflection.

This is correct

d. For diffuse reflection, the angle of incidence is greater than the angle of reflection.

This is wrong: the angle of incident is equal to angle of reflection. The only difference between this type of reflection and specular reflection, is that the normal for diffuse reflection is not parallel to each due to the rough surface in which the light incidents.

For specular reflection, the angle of incidence is less than the angle of reflection.

This is wrong: the angle of incident is equal to angle of reflection
