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°

The thermal transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves through the vacuum of space is called
Olenka [21]

Answer: Radiation

Explanation:

There are three ways in which the thermal transfer occurs:

   1. By Conduction, when the transmission is by the <u>direct contact</u>.

  2. By Convection, heat transfer <u>in fluids </u>(like water or the air, for example).  

   3. By Radiation, by the <u>electromagnetic waves</u> (they can travel through any medium and in <u>vacumm</u>)

So, in the outter space is vacuum, this means the energy cannot be transmitted by convection, nor conduction. It must be transmitted by electromagnetic waves that are able to travel with or without a medium, and this is called radiation.

A body weighs 10newton in air and 9.5 in water. How will it weigh in alchohol if density 0.8gcm-³​
Katen [24]

Answer:

The weight of object in alcohol is, W₀ = 9.6 N

Explanation:

Given,

The weight of body in air, Wₐ = 10 N

The weight of the body in water, Wₓ = 9.5 N

The density of the alcohol, ρ = 0.8 g/cm³

                                                = 800 kg/m³

The weight of body in water = weight of object in air - weight of water displaced

                        9.5 N = 10 N - weight of water displaced

                       Weight of water displaced = 0.5 N

The mass of the displaced water, m = 0.5 / 9.8

                                                            = 0.051 kg

Therefore the volume of the water displaced,

                                              V = m / ρ

                                                  = 0.051 / 1000

                                                   = 5.1 x 10⁻⁵ m³

<em>The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of alcohol displaced</em>

Therefore, the mass of the alcohol displaced, = V x ρ

                                                                             = 5.1 x 10⁻⁵ x 800

                                                                             = 0.0405 kg

The weight of the alcohol displaced, w = 0.0405 x 9.8

                                                                    = 0.4 N

Therefore,

The weight of body in alcohol = weight of object in air - weight of alcohol displaced

                             W₀ = W - w

                                    = 10 N - 0.4 N

                                     = 9.6 N

Hence, the weight of object in alcohol is, W₀ = 9.6 N

Why is the motion of an athlete moving along the circular path with Constant speed considered to be an accelerated motion?
Strike441 [17]

The speed is changing its direction all the time. There is an acceleration which changes the direction of the speed – that is called centripetal acceleration. Only uniform linear motions are considered to have no acceleration.

This is the general formula for acceleration

a = dv/dt

When calculating dv, you should keep in mind the change in the velocity vector’s direction. You can easily see in a graph that with dt tending to 0 (so the length of the arc covered is also tending to 0), the difference between vectors Vf and V0 has a direction which is perpendicular to velocity (the shorter the arc, the closest the angle is to 90 degrees).

There is a formula (which can be deducted from the previous formula) which allows you to calculate the acceleration:

a = v^2/r

Let’s talk about the units:

v is in m/s

r is in m

so v^2/r

is in (m/s)^2/m = (m^2/s^2)/m = m/s^2

which is the same unit as dv/dt:

dv/dt = (m/s)/s= m/s^2
