Answer: C. -12 newtons

Explanation: Since, the block is in static equilibrium,

the net force on the block is zero i.e. balance forces are acting on the block.

In the horizontal direction,

force applied+force due to friction = 0

20 N + (-20N) = 0

In the vertical direction as well, net force is zero:

Force due to gravity + force exerted by the ground = 0

12 N + force exerted by the ground = 0

⇒force exerted by the ground = 0 -12 N = -12 N

Thus, the correct option is C. -12 N where negative sign means that the direction of the force due to ground is opposite to the force of gravity.

Two loudspeakers, d1 = 2.00 m, are in phase. Assume the amplitudes of the sound from the speakers are approximately the same at
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Lowest frequency that gives the minimum signal is 343 Hz

lowet frequency for maximum signal 686 Hz

Explanation:

D_1 = 2.00 m

D _2  =3.75 m

Δx = \sqrt {D_1^2 +D_2^2} - D_2

     =\sqrt {2.00^2 +3.75^2} - 3.75

     = 0.5 m

for minimum distructive interference,  the path difference is

Δx = ( n+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda  

for minimum n = 0

\lambda = 2\Delta x

             = 2*0.5 = 1 m

lowest frequency f = \frac[c}{\lambda}

where c is speed of sound in air 343 m/s

f = \frac{343}{1} = 343 Hz

b) lowet frequency for maximum signal

for minimum CONSTRUCTIVE interference,  the path difference is

Δx = n\lambda  

for minimum n = 1

\lambda = Delta x

             = 0.5 m

lowest frequency f =\frac[c}{\lambda}

f  = \frac{343}{0.5} = 686 Hz

If a planet is 15.0 au from the sun, what is it’s period? (Hint: compare this planet to Earth)
Tom [10]

The period of the planet is 58.1 years

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Kepler's third law, which states that:

"The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of its semimajor orbital axis"

Translated into equations, we can write:

\frac{T_x^2}{r_x^3}=\frac{T_e^2}{r_e^3}

Where, taking the orbits of the planets as almost circular, we have:

T_x is the orbital period of the unknown planet

r_x = 15.0 au is the radius of the orbit of the planet

T_e = 1 y (1 year) is the period of the orbit of the Earth

r_e = 1 AU is the orbital radius of the Earth

Solving for T_x, we find the orbital period of the unknown planet:

T_x = T_e \sqrt{\frac{r_x^3}{r_e^3}}=(1y)\sqrt{\frac{(15.0)^3}{(1.0)^3}}=58.1 y
