A rare and valuable antique chest is being moved into a truck using a 4.00 m long ramp. the kj weight of the chest plus packing

material is 1,500 n. if the truck bed is 1.00 m above the ground, find the work done by the movers as they slide the chest up the ramp if the coefficient of friction between the chest and the ramp is 0.200.

First let us calculate for the angle of inclination using the sin function,

sin θ = 1 m / 4 m

θ = 14.48°

 

Then we calculate the work done by the movers using the formula:

W = Fnet * d

 

So we must calculate for the value of Fnet first. Fnet is force due to weight minus the frictional force.

Fnet = m g sinθ – μ m g cosθ

Fnet = 1,500 sin14.48 – 0.2 * 1,500 * cos14.48

Fnet = 84.526 N

 

So the work exerted is equal to:

W = 84.526 N * 4 m

<span>W = 338.10 J</span>

The reflective surface of a CD consists of spirals of equally spaced grooves. If you shine a laser pointer on a CD, each groove
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

d = 1.55 * 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

To calculate the distance between the adjacent grooves of the CD, use the formula, d = \frac{m \lambda}{sin(A_{m}) }..........(1)

The fringe number, m = 1 since it is a first order maximum

The wavelength of the green laser pointer, \lambda = 532 nm = 532 * 10⁻⁹ m

Distance between the central maximum and the first order maximum = 1.1 m

Distance between the screen and the CD = 3 m

A_{m} = Angle between the incident light and the diffracted light

From the setup shown in the attachment, it is a right angled triangle in which

sin(A_{m}) = \frac{opposite}{Hypotenuse} \\sin(A_{m}) =\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{1.1^{2}+3^{2}}}

sin(A_{m} ) = 0.344\\A_{m} = sin^{-1} 0.344\\A_{m} = 20.14^{0}

Putting all appropriate values into equation (1)

d = \frac{1* 532*10^{-9} }{0.344 }\\d = 0.00000155 m\\d = 1.55 * 10^{-6} m

Some one help my science homework is due tomorrow and I'm so stuck with question 8-9, and 11-12
yuradex [85]
Off the top of my head, I only know 9 and 11, so I'll answer those two.

9) A heterotroph is an organism that relies on other organisms for food/energy
    An autotroph can produce its own food from inorganic compounds (light)

11) Vascular plants have specialized tubes for transporting nutrients
      Nonvascular plants do not have such tubes and are simpler

Questions E6 a&amp; b and E7 a&amp;b?
erica [24]

Explanation:

6a) Work = force × distance

W = Fd

W = (60 N) (10 m)

W = 600 J

6b) Change in energy = work

ΔKE = 600 J

7a) Kinetic energy is half the mass times the square of the velocity.

KE = ½ mv²

KE = ½ (0.4 kg) (25 m/s)²

KE = 125 J

7b) Work = change in energy.  When the ball is stopped, it has zero kinetic energy.

W = ΔKE

W = 0 J − 125 J

W = -125 J
