You are a member of an alpine rescue team and must get a box of supplies, with mass 2.20 kg , up an incline of constant slope an

gle 30.0 ∘ so that it reaches a stranded skier who is a vertical distance 3.10 m above the bottom of the incline. There is some friction present; the kinetic coefficient of friction is 6.00×10−2. Since you can't walk up the incline, you give the box a push that gives it an initial velocity; then the box slides up the incline, slowing down under the forces of friction and gravity. Take acceleration due to gravity to be 9.81 m/s2 .
Use the work-energy theorem to calculate the minimum speed v that you must give the box at the bottom of the incline so that it will reach the skier.

Answer:

The minimum speed of the box bottom of the incline so that it will reach the skier is 8.19 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the box, m = 2.2 kg

The box is inclined at an angle of 30 degrees

Vertical distance, d = 3.1 m

The coefficient of friction, \mu=6\times 10^{-2}

Using the work energy theorem, the loss of kinetic energy is equal to the sum of gain in potential energy and the work done against friction.

KE=PE+W

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh+W

W is the work done by the friction.

W=f\times d

f=\mu mg\ cos\theta

W=\mu mg\ cos\theta\times \dfrac{d}{sin\theta}

W=\dfrac{\mu mgh}{tan\theta}

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh+\dfrac{\mu mgh}{tan\theta}

\dfrac{1}{2}v^2=gh+\dfrac{\mu gh}{tan\theta}

\dfrac{1}{2}v^2=9.8\times 3.1+\dfrac{6\times 10^{-2}\times 9.8\times 3.1}{tan(30)}

v = 8.19 m/s

So, the speed of the box is 8.19 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

What connects the upper motor neurons to lower motor neurons?
skad [1K]

Answer:

The upper motor neurons synapse in the spinal cord connect with anterior horn cells of lower motor neurons, usually via interneurons. The anterior horn cells are the cell bodies of the lower motor neurons and are located in the grey matter of the spinal cord.

Explanation:

Interneurons are the central nodes of neural circuits, enabling communication between the upper motor neurons, sensory or motor neurons located in the brain and spinal cord and they send signals to lower motor neurons or central nervous system (CNS) in the brain stem and spinal cord . When they get a signal from the upper motor neurons, they send another signal to your muscles to make them contract. They play vital roles in reflexes, neuronal oscillations, and neurogenesis in the adult mammalian brain.

Renshaw cells are among the very first identified interneurons. They are excited by the axon collaterals of the motor neurons. In addition, Renshaw cells make inhibitory connections to several groups of motor neurons.

Find the lengths of each of the following vectors
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Explanation:

Generally, length of vector means the magnitude of the vector.

So, given a vector

R = a•i + b•j + c•k

Then, it magnitude can be caused using

|R|= √(a²+b²+c²)

So, applying this to each of the vector given.

(a) 2i + 4j + 3k

The length is

L = √(2²+4²+3²)

L = √(4+16+9)

L = √29

L = 5.385 unit

(b) 5i − 2j + k

Note that k means 1k

The length is

L = √(5²+(-2)²+1²)

Note that, -×- = +

L = √(25+4+1)

L = √30

L = 5.477 unit

(c) 2i − k

Note that, since there is no component j implies that j component is 0

L = 2i + 0j - 1k

The length is

L = √(2²+0²+(-1)²)

L = √(4+0+1)

L = √5

L = 2.236 unit

(d) 5i

Same as above no is j-component and k-component

L = 5i + 0j + 0k

The length is

L = √(5²+0²+0²)

L = √(25+0+0)

L = √25

L = 5 unit

(e) 3i − 2j − k

The length is

L = √(3²+(-2)²+(-1)²)

L = √(9+4+1)

L = √14

L = 3.742 unit

(f) i + j + k

The length is

L = √(1²+1²+1²)

L = √(1+1+1)

L = √3

L = 1.7321 unit
