The frequency of a wave is just the reciprocal of the period.For this one . . .
Frequency  =  1/(period)  =  1/(5 sec)  =  0.2 per sec (0.2 Hz) .

A crate rests on a flatbed truck which is initially traveling at 17.9 m/s on a level road. The driver applies the brakes and the
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction required is 0.35.  

Explanation:

The minimum coefficient of friction required to keep the crate from sliding can be found as follows:

-F_{f} + F = 0      

-F_{f} + ma = 0      

\mu mg = ma

\mu = \frac{a}{g}

Where:

μ: is the coefficient of friction

m: is the mass of the crate

g: is the gravity

a: is the acceleration of the truck

The acceleration of the truck can be found by using the following equation:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2ad

a = \frac{v_{f}^{2} - v_{0}^{2}}{2d}

Where:  

d: is the distance traveled = 46.1 m

v_{f}: is the final speed of the truck = 0 (it stops)      

v_{0}: is the initial speed of the truck = 17.9 m/s

a = \frac{-(17.9 m/s)^{2}}{2*46.1 m} = -3.48 m/s^{2}        

If we take the reference system on the crate, the force will be positive since the crate will feel the movement in the positive direction.  

\mu = \frac{a}{g}  

\mu = \frac{3.48 m/s^{2}}{9.81 m/s^{2}}

\mu = 0.35

Therefore, the minimum coefficient of friction required is 0.35.  

I hope it helps you!

An unruly student with a spitwad (a lump of wet paper) of mass 20 g in his pocket finds himself in the school library where ther
jeka94

Answer:

T = 188.5 s, correct is  C

Explanation:

This problem must be worked on using conservation of angular momentum. We define the system as formed by the fan and the paper, as the system is isolated, the moment is conserved

         

initial instant. Before the crash

        L₀ = r m v₀ + I₀ w₀

the angular speed of the fan is zero w₀ = 0

final instant. After the crash

        L_f = I₀ w + m r v

        L₀ = L_f

        m r v₀ = I₀ w + m r v

angular and linear velocity are related

        v = r w

        w = v / r

        m r v₀ = I₀ v / r + m r v

         m r v₀ = (I₀ / r + mr) v

       v = \frac{m}{\frac{I_o}{r}  +mr} \ r v_o

let's calculate

       v = \frac{0.020}{\frac{1.4}{0.6  } + 0.020 \ 0.6  } \ 0.6 \ 4

       v = \frac{0.020}{2.345} \ 2.4

       v = 0.02 m / s

         

To calculate the time of a complete revolution we can use the kinematics relations of uniform motion

        v = x / T

         T = x / v

the distance of a circle with radius r = 0.6 m

         x = 2π r

we substitute

         T = 2π r / v

let's calculate

         T = 2π 0.6/0.02

         T = 188.5 s

reduce

         t = 188.5 s ( 1 min/60 s) = 3.13 min

correct is  C

Consider three scenarios in which a particular box moves downward under the pull of gravity :
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

1. True  WA > WB > WC

Explanation:

In this exercise they give work for several different configurations and ask that we show the relationship between them, the best way to do this is to calculate each work separately.

A) Work is the product of force by distance and the cosine of the angle between them

    WA = W h cos 0

   WA = mg h

B) On a ramp without rubbing

     Sin30 = h / L

     L = h / sin 30

     WB = F d cos θ  

     WB = F L cos 30

     WB = mf (h / sin30) cos 30

     WB = mg h ctan 30

C) Ramp with rubbing

    W sin 30 - fr = ma

   N- Wcos30 = 0

   W sin 30 - μ W cos 30 = ma

    F = W (sin30 - μ cos30)

   WC = mg (sin30 - μ cos30) h / sin30

   Wc = mg (1 - μ ctan30) h

When we review the affirmation it is the work where there is rubbing is the smallest and the work where it comes in free fall at the maximum

Let's review the claims

1. True The work of gravity is the greatest and the work where there is friction is the least

2 False. The job where there is friction is the least

3 False work with rubbing is the least

4 False work with rubbing is the least

The photeselestric effect is observed when light of a sufficiently high frequency is focused onto a polished metal surface, emit
Helga [31]

Answer:

3.4\cdot 10^{-19} J

Explanation:

In order to convert the work function of cesium from electronvolts to Joules, we must use the following conversion factor:

1 eV = 1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} J

In our problem, the work function of cesium is

E=2.1 eV

so, we can convert it into Joules by using the following proportion:

1 eV : 1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J = 2.1 eV : x\\x=\frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J)(2.1 eV)}{1 eV}=3.4\cdot 10^{-19} J
