Let us use the formula for Newton's Second Law of Motion:

Net force = Mass*Acceleration
Net force = Applied Force - μ*Normal Force
where μ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

Normal Force = Force due to gravity = mass*gravity
Normal Force = (210 kg)(9.81 m/s²) =<em> 2,060.1 N</em>

Then,
Net force = 4100 - 0.38*2060.1 = 3317.162 N

3317.162 N = (210 kg)(a)
Solving for acceleration,
<em>a = 15.796 m/s²</em>

Answer:

  • <u><em>1,230N</em></u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Name of the variables:</u>

   f:frequency\\\\ \omega:angular\text{ }speed\\\\ a_c:centripetal\text{ }acceleration\\\\ F_c:centripetal\text{ }force\\ \\ m:mass\\ \\ d:diameter\\ \\ r:radius\\ \\ g:gravitational\text{ }acceleration

<u>2. Formulae:</u>

         f=\dfrac{number\text{ }of\text{ }revolutions}{time}

          \omega=2\pi f

          a_c=\omega^2 r

           F_c=m\times a_c

<u>3. Solution (calculations)</u>

       f=\dfrac{1}{1.65s}=0.\overline{60}s^{-1}

       \omega=2\pi\times0.\overline{60}\approx 3.808rad/s

      a_c=(3.808rad/s)^2\times (3.74/2m)=27.12m/s^2

      F_c=45.2kg\times27.12m/s^2=1,225.67N\approx 1,230N

Who clarified the photoelectric effect?
sergiy2304 [10]
When visible light, X rays, gamma rays, or other forms of electromagnetic radiation are shined on certain kinds of matter, electrons are ejected. That phenomenon is known as the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect was discovered by German physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857–1894) in 1887. You can imagine the effect as follows: Suppose that a metal plate is attached by two wires to a galvanometer. (A galvanometer is an instrument for measuring the flow of electric current.) If light of the correct color is shined on the metal plate, the galvanometer may register a current. That reading indicates that electrons have been ejected from the metal plate. Those electrons then flow through the external wires and the galvanometer. HOPE THIS HELPED

Which method of measurement would be accurate but lack precision?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

reading the volume of water in a graduated cylinder which can be read to the nearest mL is accurate, it lacks precision due to the bottom meniscus formed.

the bottom meniscus may cause a wrong reading due to refraction of light

supose at 20 degree celsius the resistance of Tungsten thermometer is 154.9. WHen placed in a particular solution , the resistan
saw5 [17]

Answer:

T₂ = 95.56°C

Explanation:

The final resistance of a material after being heated is given by the relation:

R' = R(1 + αΔT)

where,

R' = Final Resistance = 207.4 Ω

R = Initial Resistance = 154.9 Ω

α = Temperature Coefficient of Resistance of Tungsten = 0.0045 °C⁻¹

ΔT = Change in Temperature = ?

Therefore,

207.4 Ω = 154.9 Ω[1 + (0.0045°C⁻¹)ΔT]

207.4 Ω/154.9 Ω = 1 + (0.0045°C⁻¹)ΔT

1.34 - 1 = (0.0045°C⁻¹)ΔT

ΔT = 0.34/0.0045°C⁻¹

ΔT = 75.56°C

but,

ΔT = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = T₂ - 20°C

T₂ - 20°C = 75.56°C

T₂ = 75.56°C + 20°C

<u>T₂ = 95.56°C</u>
