Answer:

D. 196 N

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on an object located at the Earth's surface is given by:

F=mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem:

- m=20 kg is the mass of the object

- g = 9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity at Earth's surface

Substituting these data into the formula, we get

F=(20 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=196.2 N \sim 196 N

Derive a relation between time period anf frequency of a wave
Elza [17]

Answer:

The relation between frequency and time period is given by:

f = 1/T

Explanation:

In a wave motion, the particle move about the mean position with the passage of time. The particles rise to reach the highest point which is crest, and similarly falls to reach the lowest point which is trough. The cycle keeps on repeating.

The time period of the wave can be defined as the time taken to complete one such cycle. Time period is given by:

T = 2π/ω

Frequency can be defined as the number of cycles completed in unit time, which can be taken as the inverse of time period. frequency is given by

f = ω/2π

or

f = 1/T

An iron block of mass 10 kg rests on a wooden plane inclined at 30° to the horizontal. It is found
Kaylis [27]

I assume the 100 N force is a pulling force directed up the incline.

The net forces on the block acting parallel and perpendicular to the incline are

∑ F[para] = 100 N - F[friction] = 0

∑ F[perp] = F[normal] - mg cos(30°) = 0

The friction in this case is the maximum static friction - the block is held at rest by static friction, and a minimum 100 N force is required to get the block to start sliding up the incline.

Then

F[friction] = 100 N

F[normal] = mg cos(30°) = (10 kg) (9.8 m/s²) cos(30°) ≈ 84.9 N

If µ is the coefficient of static friction, then

F[friction] = µ F[normal]

⇒   µ = (100 N) / (84.9 N) ≈ 1.2

A strontium vapor laser beam is reflected from the surface of a CD onto a wall. The brightest spot is the reflected beam at an a
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

d=1.29*10^{-6}m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Distance of wall from CD D=1.4

Second bright fringe y_2= 0.803 m

Let

Strontium vapor laser has a wavelength \lambda= 431 nm=>431 *10^{-9}m

Generally the equation for Interference is mathematically given by

y=frac{n*\lambda*D}{d}

Where

d=\frac{n*\lambda*D}{y}

d=\frac{2*431 *10^{-9}m*1.4}{0.803}

d=1.29*10^{-6}m
