Answer:

The direction of electric field and equipotential line at the same point are always PERPENDICULAR TO THE ELECTRIC FIELD.

Explanation:

Equipotential surface is a three dimensional part of equipotential lines.

Equipotential lines are a type of contour lines that is use to trace lines that have the same altitude on the map and the altitude is the electric potential.

Equipotential lines are always perpendicular to electric potential because the lines creates three dimension equipotential surface.

An advertisement for an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) claims that the ATV can climb inclined slopes of 35°. What is the minimum coef

navik [9.2K]

An advertisement for an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) claims that the ATV can climb inclined slopes of 35°. The minimum coefficient of static friction needed for this claim to be possible is 0.7

In an inclined plane, the coefficient of static friction is the angle at which an object slide over another.

As the angle rises, the gravitational force component surpasses the static friction force, as such, the object begins to slide.

Using the Newton second law;

$\sum F_x = \sum F_y = 0$

$\mathbf{mg sin \theta -f_s= N-mgcos \theta = 0 }$

So; On the L.H.S

$\mathbf{mg sin \theta =f_s}$

$\mathbf{mg sin \theta =\mu_s N}$

On the R.H.S

N = mg cos θ

Equating both force component together, we have:

$\mathbf{mg sin \theta =\mu_s \ mg \ cos \theta}$

$\mathbf{sin \theta =\mu_s \ \ cos \theta}$

$\mathbf{\mu_s = \dfrac{sin \theta }{ cos \theta}}$

From trigonometry rule:

$\mathbf{tan \theta= \dfrac{sin \theta }{ cos \theta}}$

∴

$\mathbf{\mu_s =\tan \theta}}$

$\mathbf{\mu_s =\tan 35^0}}$

$\mathbf{\mu_s = 0.700}}$

Therefore, we can conclude that the minimum coefficient of static friction needed for this claim to be possible is 0.7

If the element gallium has an atomic number of 31 and an atomic mass of 70, how many neutrons does it have?

Mumz [18]

Answer:

The answer is 39.

Explanation:

The atomic number refers to the number of protons and the atomic mass is the sum of the protons and neutrons. So, you would just do 70 - 31 and that gets you 39.

A 50 Kg box sits at rest on a 30 degree ramp where the coef of static friction is 0.5773. If your push was directed at an angle

emmasim [6.3K]

Given data:

m= 50 Kg,

W= m×g = 50 × 9.81 = 490.5 N

ramp angle (α) = 30 degrees,

coefficient of friction (μs) = 0.5773,

Push at an angle (Θ) = 40 degrees,

Determine: Push to get box move up (P)=?

From the figure,

Resolving the forces along the plane

W sinα + μs.R = P cos Θ --------------------- (i)

Resolving the forces perpendicular to the inclined plane

W cosα = R+Psin Θ => R= W cosα - Psin Θ -------------- (ii)

Solving (i) and (ii) and keeping μs = tan Φ, Φ = Θ 

Pmin = W sin( α +Θ )

= W[ sin α.Cos Θ + cos α.sin Θ]

= 490.5 [ (sin 30.cos40) + (cos30.sin 40)]

= 460.9 N

Minimum push required to move the box up the ramp is 460.9 N
