Gravity pulls on the object in the downward direction. The normal force to the inclined plane points in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the plane. Then for the object to be at rest, the frictional force must act parallel to the inclined plane, pointing in the upward direction.

An unknown material has a mass

atroni [7]

Answer: 1896.55J/kg°C

Explanation:

The quantity of Heat Energy (Q) required to heat a material depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since,

Q = 1320 joules

Mass of material = 5.61kg

C = ? (let unknown value be Z)

Φ = 0.124°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

1320J = 5.61kg x Z x 0.124°C

1320J = 0.696kg°C x Z

Z = (1320J / 0.696kg°C)

Z = 1896.55 J/kg°C

Thus, the specific heat of the material is 1896.55J/kg°C

A violin string that is 50.0 cm long has a fundamental frequency of 440 Hz. What is the

amid [387]

For a standing wave on a string, the wavelength is equal to twice the length of the string:
$\lambda=2 L$
In our problem, L=50.0 cm=0.50 m, therefore the wavelength of the wave is
$\lambda = 2 \cdot 0.50 m = 1.00 m$

And the speed of the wave is given by the product between the frequency and the wavelength of the wave:
$v=\lambda f = (1.00 m)(440 Hz)=440 m/s$

When the heat source is removed from a fluid, convection currents in the fluid will eventually ____________then stop.

Blizzard [7]

When the heat source is removed from a fluid, convection currents in the fluid will eventually distribute heat uniformly throughout the fluid. When all of the fluid is at the same temperature, convection currents will stop.
