A block is placed on an inclined plane with an angle of inclination θ (in degrees) with respect to horizontal. The coefficient o

f static friction between the block and the inclined plane is 0.4. For what maximum value of θ will the block remain stationary on the inclined surface?

Answer:

The maximum value of θ that will cause the block to remain stationary on the inclined surface is 21.8°

Explanation:

Given;

coefficient of static friction, μ = 0.4

for the block to remain stationary on the inclined plane, force pushing the block upward must be equal to the force acting downwards.

μR = mgsinθ

μmgcosθ = mgsinθ

μcosθ = sinθ

μ = sinθ/cosθ

μ = tanθ

θ = tan⁻¹(0.4) = 21.8°

Therefore, the maximum value of θ that will cause the block to remain stationary on the inclined surface is 21.8°

An electric field from a charge has a magnitude of 1.5 × 104 N/C at a certain location that points inward. If another charge wit
zysi [14]

Answer:

-0.045 N, they will attract each other

Explanation:

The strength of the electrostatic force exerted on a charge is given by

F=qE

where

q is the magnitude of the charge

E is the electric field magnitude

In this problem,

q=3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C

E=-1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C (negative because inward)

So the strength of the electrostatic force is

F=(-3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C)(1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C)=-0.045 N

Moreover, the charge will be attracted towards the source of the electric field. In fact, the text says that the electric field points inward: this means that the source charge is negative, so the other charge (which is positive) is attracted towards it.

What is the speed of the animal from 0-20s? <br><br> 50 m/s<br> 0.4 m/s<br> 20 m/s<br> 2.5 m/s
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

2.5 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of the animal is given by the ratio between the distance travelled by the animal and the time elapsed:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance travelled and t the time elapsed. Note that this quantity is also equal to the slope of the curve.

In the time interval 0-20 s, we have

d = 50 m - 0 m = 50 m

t = 20 s - 0 s = 20 s

So, the speed is

v=\frac{50 m}{20 s}=2.5 m/s
