Answer:

17.74°

Explanation:

For an inclined surface,

F = μmgcosΦ................ Equation 1

F' = mgsinΦ................. Equation 2

Where F = friction force, F' = down slope force, m = mass of the book, g = acceleration due to gravity, μ = coefficient of static friction, Φ = maximum angle of tilt.

For the book to remain stationary and not slide.

F = F'

μmgcosΦ = mgsinΦ

μ = cosΦ/sinΦ

μ = tanФ

make Ф the subject of the equation

Ф = tan⁻¹(μ).................... Equation 3

Given: μ = 0.32

Substitute into equation 3

Ф = tan⁻¹(0.32)

Ф = 17.74°

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Friction force and the force induced by gravity. Since the displacement is in angular mode, the component of the horizontal force of friction will be equivalent to the component of the vertical force of gravity. For balance to exist, both must be equal

F_{fx} = F_{gy}

Where,

F_{fx} = \mu mg cos\theta

F_{gy} = mg sin \theta

m = Mass

g = Gravitational acceleration

\mu = Constant of friction

Then,

m g sin \theta = \mu m g cos \theta

sin \theta = mu cos \theta

tan \theta = mu

tan\theta = 0.32

\theta = 17.74\°

Therefore the maximum angle  of tilt for which the book will remain stationary and not slide down the plank is 17.74°

You want to produce three 2.00-mm-diametercylindrical wires, each with a resistance of 1.00 Ω at room temperature. One wire is g
Vlada [557]

Answer:

(a) L =  128.75 m

(b) L =  182.56 m

(c) L =  114.28 m

(d) Mass of Gold = 7.68 kg = 7680 gram

(e) Cost of Gold Wire = $ 307040

Explanation:

The resistance of the wire is given as:

R = ρL/A

where,

R = Resistance

ρ = resistivity

L = Length

A = cross-sectional area

(a)

For Gold Wire:

ρ = 2.44 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m

A = πd²/4 = π(2 x 10⁻³ m)²/4 = 3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²

R = 1 Ω

Therefore,

1 Ω = (2.44 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)L/(3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)

L = (1 Ω)(3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)/(2.44 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)

<u>L =  128.75 m</u>

<u></u>

(b)

For Copper Wire:

ρ = 1.72 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m

A = πd²/4 = π(2 x 10⁻³ m)²/4 = 3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²

R = 1 Ω

Therefore,

1 Ω = (1.72 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)L/(3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)

L = (1 Ω)(3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)/(1.72 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)

<u>L =  182.56 m</u>

<u></u>

(c)

For Aluminum Wire:

ρ = 2.75 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m

A = πd²/4 = π(2 x 10⁻³ m)²/4 = 3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²

R = 1 Ω

Therefore,

1 Ω = (2.75 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)L/(3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)

L = (1 Ω)(3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)/(2.75 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)

<u>L =  114.28 m</u>

<u></u>

(d)

Density = Mass/Volume

Mass = (Density)(Volume)

Volume of Gold = AL = (3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²)(128.75 m) = 4.04 x 10⁻⁴ m³

Therefore,

Mass of Gold = (1.9 x 10⁴ kg/m³)(4.04 x 10⁻⁴ m³)

<u>Mass of Gold = 7.68 kg = 7680 gram</u>

<u></u>

(e)

Cost of Gold Wire = (Unit Price of Gold)(Mass of Gold)

Cost of Gold Wire = ($ 40/gram)(7680 grams)

<u>Cost of Gold Wire = $ 307040</u>

An inventor claims to have developed a food freezer that, in steady-state conditions, requires a power input of 0.25 kW to extra
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The inventors  claim is not real

a)  No the the freezer cannot operate in such conditions

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  power input is  P_i  = 0.25 kW  =  0.25 *10^{3} \ W

      The  rate of heat transfer J  =  3050 J/s

       The temperature of the freezer content is T = 270 \ K

       The  ambient temperature is  T_a  =  293 \ K

Generally the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator at idea conditions is mathematically represented as

      COP  =  \frac{T }{Ta - T}

substituting values

     COP  =  \frac{270 }{293 - 270}

     COP  =11.7

Generally the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator at real conditions is mathematically represented as

       COP  =  \frac{J}{P_i}

substituting values

       COP  =  \frac{3050}{0.25 *10^{3}}

       COP  = 12.2

Now given that the COP  of an ideal refrigerator is  less that that of a real refrigerator then the claims of the inventor is rejected

This is because the there are loss in the real refrigerator cycle that are suppose to reduce the COP compared to an ideal refrigerator cycle where there no loss that will reduce the COP

If you ride quickly down a hill on a bicycle your eardrums are pushed in before they pop back. Why is this?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

<em>The difference in pressure between the external air pressure, and the internal air pressure of the middle ear.</em>

Explanation:

First of all, we should note that pressure decreases with height and increases with depth. The air within the middle ear (between the ear drum and the Eustachian tube) adjusts itself to respond to the atmospheric pressure, or when we yawn.  At a high altitude like on the hill, the air pressure in the middle ear, is fairly low (this is to balance the low air pressure at this height). While riding down the hill quickly, there is little time for the air pressure in the ear to readjust itself to the increasing external air pressure, causing the external air to push into the ear drum. Along the way, the air within the middle ear is adjusted by the opening of the Eustachian tube, allowing more air into the space in the middle ear to balance the external air pressure. This readjustment causes the ear to pop.

Why does a bouncing ball rise to a lower height with each bounce?
grandymaker [24]
Because after each impact it loses a fraction of its original energy, because it gets transfered to the floor. this is the reason that a perpetual motion machine is impossible. you cannot have infinite energy, because to perform a task, energy must be spent. hope i helped :3
