Answer:

c. 5cm \times 8cm

Explanation:

The dimensions 5cm\times 8cm have the highest cross-sectional area combination of 40cm^2.

-Resistance reduces with an increase in cross sectional area.

-Reason-Electrons have alarger area to flow through.

erik [133]
Since the stone is travelling, the displacement cannot be constant. This leaves the last 2 choices as possibilities. Now consider the acceleration that can act on the stone. Acceleration due to gravity is the only one. That means the horizontal component of the stone has to be constant since there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction.

A block of mass M is connected by a string and pulley to a hanging mass m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block M a
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

a)  y = 0.98 t², t=1s y= 0.98 m,  

b) he two blocks must move the same distance

c) v = 1.96 m / s,  d)  a = -1.96 m / s², e)  x = 0.98 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use Newton's second law

Big Block

Y axis

             N-W = 0

             N = M g

X axis

             T- fr = Ma

the friction force has the expression

             fr = μ N

             fr = μ Mg

small block

             w- T = m a

             

we write the system of equations

             T - fr = M a

             mg - T = m a

we add and resolved

             mg-  μ Mg = (M + m) a

             a = g \ \frac{m - \mu M}{m+M}

             a = 9.8 \ \frac{10- 0.2 \ 20}{ 10 \ +\ 20}

             a = 9.8 (6/30)

             a = 1.96 m / s²

a) now we can use the kinematic relations

             y = v₀ t + ½ a t²

the blocks come out of rest so their initial velocity is zero

             y = ½ a t²

             y = ½ 1.96 t²

             y = 0.98 t²

for t = 1s y = 0.98 m

       t = 2s y = 1.96 m

b) Time is a scale that is the same for the entire system, the question should be oriented to how far the big block will move.

As the curda is in tension the two blocks must move the same distance

c) the velocity of the block M

           v = vo + a t

           v = 0 + 1.96 t

for t = 1 s v = 1.96 m / s

       t = 2 s v = 3.92 m / s

d) the deceleration if the chain is cut

when removing the chain the tension becomes zero

           -fr = M a

          - μ M g = M a

          a = - μ g

          a = - 0.2 9.8

          a = -1.96 m / s²

e) the distance to stop the block is

         v² = vo² - 2 a x

        0 = vo² - 2a x

        x = vo² / 2a

        x = 1.96² / 2 1.96

        x = 0.98 m

the time to travel this distance is

        v = vo - a t

        t = vo / a

        t = 1.96 /1.96

        t = 1 s

There is a bell at the top of a tower that is 45 m high. The bell weighs 190 N. The bell has ____________
salantis [7]

Answer:

The bell has a potential energy of 8550 [J]

Explanation:

Since the belt is 45 [m] above ground level, only potential energy is available. And this energy can be calculated by means of the following equation.

E_{p}= W*h\\E_{p} = 190*45\\E_{p}=8550[J]
