Answer:
a) 0.64 b) 2.17m/s^2 c) 8.668joules
Explanation:
The block was on the ramp, the ramp was inclined at 20degree. A force of 5N was acting horizontal to the but not parallel to the ramp,
Frictional force = horizontal component of the weight of the block along the ramp + the applied force since the block was just about move
Frictional force = mgsin20o + 5N = 6.71+5N = 11.71
The force of normal = the vertical component of the weight of the block =mgcos20o = 18.44
Coefficient of static friction = 11.71/18.44= 0.64
Remember that g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81m/s^2) and m = mass (2kg)
b) coefficient of kinetic friction = frictional force/ normal force
Fr = 0.4* mgcos 20o = 7.375N
F due to motion = ma = total force - frictional force
Ma = 11.71 - 7.375 = 4.335
a= 4.335/2(mass of the block) = 2.17m/s^2
C) work done = net force *distance = 4.335*2= 8.67Joules
Answer:
a true
Explanation:
Water has the high specific heat capacity.
That means it resists to change its temperature when a considerable amount of heat lost or gained
4200J is needed to raise the temperature of 1kg substance by 1 degree Celsius
Yes. Amen. Tell me about it.
Answer:
1 cm ± 0.05 cm
Explanation:
A ruler is readable to ±0.05 cm. This implies that any measurement taken using the ruler could be uncertain by 0.05 cm above or below the true value.
Hence, ±0.05 cm is called the uncertainty or the precision of the ruler.
We obtained this from the fact that the meter rule is graduated in units of centimetres (cm). This implies that the smallest scale division is 1 mm. Thus, the uncertainty of the meter rule is given by; Δx = smallest increment/2 = 1mm/2 = 0.5mm = 0.05cm.
