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°

stiv31 [10]

Use resultant formula

\boxed{\sf R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2+2ABcos\theta}}

So

#1

A be p+q and B be p-q

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow R=\sqrt{3p^2+q^2}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \sqrt{(p+q)^2+(p-q)^2+2(p+q)(p-q)cos\alpha}=\sqrt{3p^2+q^2}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2p^2+2q^2+2(p^2-q^2)cos\alpha=3p^2+q^2

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2cos\alpha=1

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow cos\alpha=\dfrac{1}{2}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\pi}{3}

#2

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2(p^2+q^2)+2(p^2-q^2)cos\beta=2(p^2+q^2)

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2cos\beta=0

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow cos\beta=0

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \beta=\dfrac{\pi}{2}

#3

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2(p^2+q^2)+2(p^2-q^2)cos\gamma=p^2+q^2

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 2(p^2-q^2)cos\gamma=-(p^2+q^2)

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow cos\gamma =\dfrac{q^2-p^2}{2(p^2-q^2)}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \gamma=cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac{q^2-p^2}{2(p^2+q^2)}\right)

In a given chemical reaction the energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants which statement is true for thi
GREYUIT [131]

Group of answer choices.

A. Energy is absorbed in the reaction.

B. Energy is released in the reaction.

C. There is no transfer of energy in the reaction.

D. Energy is lost in the reaction.

Answer:

B. Energy is released in the reaction.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a chemical process which typically involves the transformation or rearrangement of the atomic, ionic or molecular structure of an element through the breakdown and formation of chemical bonds to produce a new compound or substance.

Basically, there are two (2) main types of chemical reaction and these include;

I. Endothermic reaction: it's a chemical reaction in which heat is absorbed

II. Exothermic reaction: it's a chemical reaction in which heat is liberated into the environment.

In Chemistry, all chemical equation must follow or be in accordance with the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed by either a physical transformation or a chemical reaction but transformed from one form to another in an isolated (closed) system.

Generally, energy is released in a chemical reaction when the energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants and it is referred to as an exothermic reaction.

However, when the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants, energy is absorbed and it is referred to as an endothermic reaction.

Cocaine, which is derived from the coca leaf, is grown mostly in Colombia and its neighboring countries while heroin, which is d
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Because of the location, humidity and temperatures.

Explanation:

Coca is grown in humid and very humid subtropical forests, called yungas and

they form the lower floor of the upper Jungle, in the Central Andes, mostly in Peru and Bolivia. The  yungas are in contact with the rainforests of the lowlands in Amazonia, where it has been  started to expand coca cultivation recently (Dourojeanni, 1988). The optimum altitude is 1000 a  2000 meters (where cocaine content is higher), with optimal annual average precipitation, is 2000 meters  mm, but it is grown between 700 and 2000 msnm and with an average annual rainfall of 1000 to 4200 mm.

msnm = meters above sea level
