Answer:

B.The force of friction between the block and surface will decrease.

Explanation:

The force of friction is given by

F_s = \mu N

where \mu is the coefficient of friction and N is the normal force.

When the student pulls on the block with force F_p at an angle \theta, the normal force on the block becomes

N  = Mg- F_psin(\theta)

and hence the frictional force becomes

F_s = \mu (Mg- F_psin(\theta)).

Now, as we increase \theta, sin(\theta) increases which as a result decreases the normal force Mg- F_psin(\theta), which also means the frictional force decreases; Hence choice B stands true.

<em>P.S: Choice D is tempting but incorrect since the weight </em>W=mg<em> is independent of the external forces on the block. </em>

Using the formula 1/2 (m x v2), what is the kinetic energy of a 4 kg rock falling through the air at 5 m/s
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

KE = 50J

Explanation:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} \\\\ KE = \frac{1}{2}(4)(5)^{2} \\\\ KE = 2(25) \\\\ KE = 50J

When its 75 kW (100 hp) engine is generating full power, a small single-engine airplane with mass 700 kg gains altitude at a rat
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

0.2289

Explanation:

Power required to climb= Fv where F is force and v is soeed. We know that F= mg hence Power, P= mgv and substituting 700 kg for m, 9.81 for g and 2.5 m/s for v then

P= 700*9.81*2.5=17167.5 W= 17.1675 kW

To express it as a fraction of 75 kw then 17.1675/75=0.2289 or 22.89%

What is the wavelength of microwaves with a frequency of 3x10^10 Hz?​
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

0.01 m

Explanation:

Since the speed of light is 3.0×10^8 m/s

Use the equation,

Wavelength = speed ÷ frequency

Wavelength = 3.0×10^8 ÷ 3×10^10

Wavelength = 0.01m
