Given Information:

slope angle = θ = 30°

spring constant = k = 30 N/m

compressed length = x = 10 cm = 0.10 m

mass of ice cube = m = 63 g = 0.063 kg

Required Information:

distance traveled by ice cube = d = ?  

Answer:

distance traveled by ice cube = 0.48 m

Explanation:

Using the the principle of conversation of energy, the following relation holds true for this case,

mgh = 1/2*kx²

h = 1/2*kx²/mg

Where h is the height of the slope, m is the mass of ice cube, k is the spring constant and x is the compressed length o the spring and g is gravitational acceleration.

h = 1/2*kx²/mg

h = 1/2*30(0.1)²/0.063*9.8

h = 0.242 m

From trigonometry ratio,

sinθ = h/d

d = h/sinθ

d = 0.242/sin(30)

d = 0.48 m

Therefore, when the ice cube is released, it will travel a total distance 0.48 up the slope before reversing direction.

Two resistors A and B are arranged in series in one branch of a parallel arrangement. The other branch contains a single resisto
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

A and B are in series , Total resistance = Ra + Rb

This resistance is in parallel with single resistor C

Equivalent resistance Re = Rc x ( Ra + Rb ) / [Rc + ( Ra + Rb )]

Now this combination is in series in single resistance D .

Total resistance = Rd + Re

= Rd + { Rc x ( Ra + Rb ) / [Rc + ( Ra + Rb )] }

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The time constant is 1.049.

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge q{t}= 0.65 q_{0}

We need to calculate the time constant

Using expression for charging in a RC circuit

q(t)=q_{0}[1-e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}]

Where, \dfrac{t}{RC} = time constant

Put the value into the formula

0.65q_{0}=q_{0}[1-e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}]

1-e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}=0.65

e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}=0.35

-\dfrac{t}{RC}=ln (0.35)

-\dfrac{t}{RC}=-1.049

\dfrac{t}{RC}=1.049

Hence, The time constant is 1.049.

11111nata11111 [884]

2.5m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Acceleration = 0.5m/s²

time of travel = 5s

Solution:

Final velocity = ?

Solution:

Acceleration can be defined as the change in velocity with time:

          Acceleration = \frac{Final velocity - Initial velocity}{time}

  From the equation above, the unknown is final velocity:

Final velocity - initial velocity = Acceleration x time

 since initial velocity = 0

   Final velocity = 0.5 x 5 = 2.5m/s

An 7.5 × binocular has 3.7-cm-focal-length eyepieces. What is the focal length of the objective lenses? Express your answer to t
elixir [45]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of magnification, which is given as the relationship between the focal length of the eyepieces and the focal length of the objective. This relationship can be expressed mathematically as,

\mu = \frac{f_0}{f_e}

Here,

\mu = Magnification

f_e = Focal length eyepieces

f_0 = Focal length of the Objective

Rearranging to find the focal length of the objective

f_0 = \mu f_e

Replacing with our values

f_0 = 7.5* 3.7cm

f_0 = 27.75cm

Therefore the focal length of th eobjective lenses is 27.75cm
