A 65-N box rest on a perfectly smooth surface. The minimum force needed to start the box moving is

1 answer:

7 0

when you say "perfectly smooth", I understand that to mean there's no friction. If that's true, then ANY net horizontal force acting on the box makes it start moving. (D) Naturally, the greater the force is, the faster the box speeds up. That's because F = m A .

Light of wavelength 597 nm falls on a double slit, and the first bright fringe of the interference pattern is seen at an angle o

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

2.2 µm

Explanation:

For constructive interference, the expression is:

$d\times sin\theta=m\times \lambda$

Where, m = 1, 2, .....

d is the distance between the slits.

Given wavelength = 597 nm

Angle, $\theta$ = 15.8°

First bright fringe means , m = 1

So,

$d\times sin\ 15.8^0=1\times \597\ nm$

$d\times 0.2723=1\times \597\ nm$

$d=2192.43481\ nm$

Also,

1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

1 µm = 10⁻⁶ m

So,

1 nm = 10⁻³ nm

Thus,

<u>Distance between slits ≅ 2.2 µm</u>

A 5 kg block is pushed across a table by a horizontal force of 40 N with an acceleration of 5 m/s^2. What is the frictional forc

julsineya [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass, M = 5Kg

horizontal force, F_h = 40N

acceleration, a =5 m/s^2

frictional force, F_f =?

net force = ma

net force = F_h - F_f = 40N - F_f

40 - F_f = 5 x 5

- F_f = 25 - 40

multiply both side by -1

F_f = 40 - 25 = 15

the frictional force is 15N

Most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from _____. the moon's gravitational attraction the sun plate movement the wind

IrinaVladis [17]

Hello!

Most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from the wind.

Ocean waves are surface waves that move across the surface of the ocean. When wind touches the surface of the water, there is friction in the contact zone. This friction causes a drag effect, that makes wrinkles on the surface of the water. As the wrinkles get bigger, they transform into full-blown waves, and the taller the wave, the more energy it can extract from the wind, making them even bigger and to move longer distances.

Have a nice day!

A potter’s wheel moves from rest to an angular speed of 0.50 rev/s in 28.9 s. Assuming constant angular acceleration, what is it

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

0.108 rad/s².

Explanation:

Given that

Initial angular velocity ,ωi = 0 rad/s

Final angular velocity ωf= 0.5 rev/s

We know that

1 rev/s = 6.28 rad/s

ωf= 3.14 rad/s

t= 28.9 s

We know that (if acceleration is constant)

ωf=ωi + α t

α=Angular acceleration

3.14 = 0 + α x 28.9

$\alpha=\dfrac{3.14}{28.9}\ rad/s^2\\\alpha=0.108\ rad/s^2$

Therefore the acceleration will be 0.108 rad/s².

Therefore the answer will be 0.108 rad/s².

two soccer players run toward each other. one player has a mass of 85 kg and runs west with a speed of 8 m/s, while the other ha

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Total momentum, p = 55 kg-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of player 1, m₁ = 85 kg

Mass of player 2, m₂ = 105 kg

Speed of player 1, v₁ = -8 m/s (west)

Speed of player 2, v₂ = 7 m/s (east)

Momentum is equal to the product of mass and velocity. For this system, momentum is given by :

$p=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

$p=85\ kg\times (-8\ m/s)+105\ kg\times 7\ m/s$

p = 55 kg-m/s

The total momentum of the system made up of the two players is 55 kg-m/s.
