The builders of the pyramids used a long ramp to lift 20000-kg (20.0-ton) blocks. If a block rose 0.840 m in height while travel

ing 20.0 m along the ramp surface, how much uphill force was needed to push it up the ramp at constant velocity

Given Information:  

Mass = m =  20000 kg

Height of ramp = h = 0.840 m

Length of ramp = L = 20 m

Required Information:  

Uphill Force = F = ?

Answer:

F = 8232 N

Explanation:

The force can be found using the equation

F = mgsinθ

Where m is the mass of block, g is the acceleration due to gravity

Since the ramp can be modeled as an inclined plane so it can formed into a triangle, recall that in right angle triangle sinθ is equal to opposite over hypotenuse. The opposite is the height and hypotenuse is the ramp surface.

sinθ = h/L = 0.840/20 = 0.042

F = 20000*9.8*0.042

F = 8232 N

Therefore, an uphill force of 8232 N would be needed.

An AC source is connected to a series combination of a light bulb and a variable capacitor. If the capacitance is increased, the
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

Since power P=IV

Then it means when current increases, the power increases hence brightness increases. I represent current, P is power and v is voltage.

Current of capacitor when in series connection is given by

I=2\pi fCV

where I is current across capacitor, f is frequency, C is capacitance and v is voltage across capacitance. From this second formula, it is evident that an increase in capacitance increases the current across the capacitor. Therefore, if current increases, power also increases leading to an increase in brightness

Despite their extensive applications in communication systems, radio waves a not the only form of EM waves present in our atmosp
tiny-mole [99]

Let us assume that the definition of frequency, wavelength and wave speed is determined by the function

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

Here,

v = Velocity of wave

\lambda = Wavelength

f = Frequency

We know that the earth has the ability to absorb visible light but that it can also emit a longer radiation wavelength. This assessment allows us to confirm that option A. Is correct. In turn, if said wavelength is large, being inversely proportional to the frequency,

\lambda \propto \frac{1}{f}

This does tend to be lower radiation. The correct options are:

A.The earth absorbs visible light and emits radiation with a longer wavelength.

B.The earth absorbs visible light and emits radiation with a lower frequency.
