A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 4.6 m from the center of the ride. then the operator turns on the rid

e and brings it up to its proper turning rate of one complete rotation every 5.5 s. what is the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place, without sliding?

<span>Radius = 4.6 m
 Time for one complete rotation t = 5.5 s.
 Distance = 2 x 3.14 x R = 2 x 3.14 x 4.6 m = 28.888.
 Velocity V = distance / time = 28.888 / 5.5 s = 5.25 m/s
 Force exerted by cat Fc = mV^2 / R = (mx 5.25^2) / 4.6 m
  Force of the cat Fc = 6m, m being the mass.
 Normal force = Us x m x g = Us x m x 9.81 = Us9.81m
 equating the both forces => Us9.81m = 6m => Us = 6 / 9.81 => Us = 0.6116 So coefficient of static friction = 0.6116</span>

Gravitational force is determined by which of the following
hram777 [196]

Gravitational force is determined by mass

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Universal law of gravity, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

            F=G \times \frac{m_{1} \times m_{2}}{r^{2}}

Where,

G – gravitational constant = \text { 6. } 67 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{Nm}^{2} / \mathrm{kg}^{2}

\boldsymbol{m}_{1}, \boldsymbol{m}_{2} = masses of two objects

r – distance between the objects

So, as per this law, the gravitational force is found by mass.

Monochromatic coherent light shines through a pair of slits. If the wavelength of the light is decreased, which of the following
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

he correct answers are a, b

Explanation:

In the two-slit interference phenomenon, the expression for interference is

          d sin θ= m λ                       constructive interference

          d sin θ = (m + ½) λ             destructive interference

in general this phenomenon occurs for small angles, for which we can write

           tanθ = y / L

           tan te = sin tea / cos tea = sin tea

           sin θ = y / La

un

derestimate the first two equations.

Let's do the calculation for constructive interference

         d y / L = m λ

the distance between maximum clos is and

         y = (me / d) λ

this is the position of each maximum, the distance between two consecutive maximums

         y₂-y₁ = (L   2/d) λ - (L 1 / d) λ₁          y₂ -y₁ = L / d λ

examining this equation if the wavelength decreases the value of y also decreases

the same calculation for destructive interference

         d y / L = (m + ½) κ

         y = [(m + ½) L / d] λ

again when it decreases the decrease the distance

the correct answers are a, b
