A wood block, after being given a starting push, slides down a ramp at a constant speed. what is the angle of the ramp above hor

izontal? suppose that μk = 0.35.

Stells [14]4 years ago
5 0

The solution for the problem is:

Constant speed means Fnet = 0. 
Let m = mass of wood block and Θ = angle of ramp; then if µk = 0.35 …

The computation would be:


Fnet = 0 = mg (sin Θ) - (µk) (mg) (cos Θ) 
mg (sin Θ) = µk (mg) (cos Θ) 
µk = tan Θ 
Θ = arctan(µk)

= arctan (0.35)

≈ 19.3°

Flura [38]
As the light pass through different media, it experiences a refraction. This is a phenomenon where the speed and direction of light changes. If the ray of light moves towards the normal line, the angle is decreased. So, is the speed of that light.

Explain how the theory of the Sun’s dynamo results in an average 22-year solar activity cycle. Include the location and mechanis
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sun's dynamo means the process that produce Sun's magnetic field.

The mechanism inside a Sun acts like a generator that produces electric current and magnetic field.

Magnetic field with in the Sun are extended out and around. Magnetic field of lines get twisted due to rotation of Sun.

The material that flows inside the Sun plays an important role in Sun's dynamo. At surface the flow rate is about 20 m/s but as it moves towards equator, it becomes way too slow taking about 11 years of time.

Due to the this magnetic field, several sun spots are formed on the surface.

The number of sunspots keep on changing from minimum to maximum number resulting into change in the magnetic pole. In each cycle polarity get reversed hence the overall magnetic cycle has an interval of 22 years.

The slope of this graph is _____.
Artemon [7]

The slope of the illustrated graph would give us the velocity of the object whose motion is plotted in the graph.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

Velocity refers to the rate of movement of objects along a particular line. In other words, the velocity of an object is the speed of the object in a specific direction relative to time.

Also, velocity = displacement/time.

In the graph, the slope is given by: Δy/Δx = displacement/time = velocity.

A step up transformer has 250 turns on its primary and 500 turns on it secondary. When the primary is connected to a 200 V and t
Zina [86]

Answer:

2000 W

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the output voltage in the transformer, by using the transformer equation:

\frac{V_1}{N_1}=\frac{V_2}{N_2}

where here we have

V1 = 200 V is the voltage in the primary coil

V2 is the voltage in the secondary coil

N1 = 250 is the number of turns in the primary coil

N2 = 500 is the number of turns in the secondary coil

Solving for V2,

V_2 = N_2 \frac{V_1}{N_1}=(500) \frac{200 V}{250}=400 V

Now we can find the power output, which is given by

P = VI

where

V = 400 V is the output voltage

I = 5 A is the output current

Substituting,

P = (400 V)(5 A) = 2,000 W

A 20 kg box has 1000 joules of potential energy on a shelf. How high is the shelf?
navik [9.2K]
Formula: PE = mgh
m = 20 kg, g = 9.8 m/s^2 h= ?
1000 = 20 * 9.8 * h
1000 = 196h
h = 5.10204082
The height is around 5m
