Answer: N = Mgcos(theta)

Therefore, the Normal reaction force is equal to Mgcos(theta)

Explanation:

See attached for a sketch.

From the attachment.

.

N = normal reaction force on block

W = weight of the block

theta = angle of the inclined plane to the horizontal

From the sketch, we can see that

N is equal in magnitude but opposite direction to Wy

N = Wy

And

Wy = Wcos(theta)

Wx = Wsin(theta)

Then,

N = Wy = Wcos(theta)

But W = mass × acceleration due to gravity = mg

N = Mgcos(theta)

Therefore, the Normal reaction force is equal to Mgcos(theta)

Answer:

Mg Cos theta

Explanation:

Choosing a coordinate system parallel and perpendicular to the plane, since the acceleration perpendicular to the plane is 0, the net force perpendicular to the plane is also 0. Therefore, the magnitude of the normal force equals the magnitude of the y component of the weight.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 23 and its mass number is 90?
givi [52]

Answer:

67

Explanation:

- The atomic number (Z) of an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus

- The mass number (A) of an atom is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Therefore, calling p the number of protons and n the number of neutrons, for element X we have:

Z = p = 23

A = p + n = 90

Substituting p=23 into the second equation, we find the number of neutrons:

n = 90 - p = 90 - 23 = 67

Communication with submerged submarines via radio waves is difficult because seawater is conductive and absorbselectromagnetic wa
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

D. 4000 km

Explanation:

f = Frequency of wave that is being transmitted = 76 Hz

\lambda = Wavelength of wave that is being transmitted

v = The velocity of electromagnetic waves through air = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Velocity of a wave is given by

v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8}{76}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=3947368.42105\ m=3947.36842105 km\approx 4000\ km

Hence, the approximate wavelength of the waves is 4000 km

A vector has an x-component
NeTakaya

Answer:

34.45m

Explanation:

Magnitude of a vector is equal to the square root of sum of squares of x & y vectors.

Magnitude = \sqrt({x^2} + {y^2})

= \sqrt({19.5^2} + {28.4^2})

=34.45m
