Answer: Acceleration will have 2 components, vertical and horizontal.
Net-vertical component can be positive, zero or negative depending upon the magnitude of the upward component of the applied acceleration.
Net-horizontal acceleration will be equal to the horizontal component of the applied acceleration.
Explanation:
Since acceleration is a vector quantity and the cart is being pushed up the ramp, the ramp would be at some angle to the horizontal and hence there will be vertical and horizontal components of acceleration.
<u>For vertical acceleration:</u>
If the magnitude of the upward component of the applied acceleration is greater than the value of the acceleration due to gravity then the net vertical acceleration will be upward because it will overtake the value of acceleration due to gravity.
In case the upward component of the applied acceleration is lesser than the value of the acceleration due to gravity then the net vertical acceleration will be downward.
<u>For horizontal acceleration:</u>
This component remains unaffected and is equal to the horizontal component of the applied acceleration because there is no other acceleration acting in the horizontal direction.
But the net acceleration will not be solely in the vertical or horizontal direction because the block has to move forward on the inclined ramp so there will always exist a horizontal and a vertical component making the net acceleration to parallel to the ramp in upward direction if the body is going up the ramp.
Answer:
The skier's change in velocity is 7.69 meters per second.
Explanation:
The Newton's second law tells force is equal to the change on the linear momentum of a body:
If we approximate the differential to
:
Using that linear momentum is mass times velocity:
Solving for :
Answer:
Explanation:
The tension in a cable is given by:
Where is the mass density of the cable and v is the speed of the cable's pulse. These values are defined as:
The pulse makes four trips down and back along the cable, so
Replacing (2) and (3) in (1), we calculate the tension in the cable:
1) D
2) D.) Greater than
Explanation:
1)
The phenomenon of total internal reflection occurs when a ray of light hitting the interface between two mediums is totally reflected back into the original medium, therefore no refraction into the second medium occurs.
This phenomenon occurs only if two conditions are satisfied:
In picture 1, we have 4 different diagrams. In the diagrams:
Total internal reflection occurs when there is no refraction, therefore when there is no green arrow: this occurs only in figure D, so this is the correct option. (in figure C, there is a refracted ray but it is parallel to the interface: this condition occurs when the angle of incidence is exactly equal to the critical angle, however in this problem, the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, so the correct option is D)
2)
As we stated in problem 1), total internal reflection occurs when the angle of incidence is equal or greater than the critical angle. Therefore in this case, the angle of incidence must be
D.) Greater than
