Empirical evidence is information acquired by observation or experimentation. This data is recorded and analyzed by scientists and is a central process as part of the scientific method.
As example of not empirical evidence:
Language, letters, words, truths, numbers, logic, mathematics, on and on.
All of these things do not have empirical existence. They exist only in the mind.

9. A 5.0 kg block on an inclined plane is acted upon by a horizontal force of 100 N shown in the figure below. The coefficient o
Helga [31]

Answer:

A: The acceleration is 7.7 m/s up the inclined plane.

B: It will take the block 0.36 seconds to move 0.5 meters up along the inclined plane

Explanation:

Let us work with variables and set

m=5kg\\\\F_H=100N\\\\\mu=0.3\\\\\theta=37^o.

As shown in the attached free body diagram, we choose our coordinates such that the x-axis is parallel to the inclined plane and the y-axis is perpendicular. We do this because it greatly simplifies our calculations.

Part A:

From the free body diagram we see that the total force along the x-axis is:

F_{tot}=mg*sin(\theta)+F_s-F_Hcos(\theta).

Now the force of friction is F_s=\mu*N, where N is the normal force and from the diagram it is F_y=mg*cos(\theta).

Thus F_s=\mu*N=\mu*mg*cos(\theta).

Therefore,

F_{tot}=mg*sin(\theta)+\mu*mg*cos(\theta)-F_Hcos(\theta)\\\\=mg(sin(\theta)+\mu*cos(\theta))-F_Hcos(\theta).

Substituting the value for F_H,m,\mu, and \:\theta we get:

F_{tot}= -38.63N.

Now acceleration is simply

a=\frac{F_H}{m} =\frac{-38.63N}{5kg} =-7.7m/s.

The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is directed up the incline.

Part B:

d=\frac{1}{2} at^2

Which can be rearranged to solve for t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a} }

Substitute the value of d=0.50m and a=7.7m/s and we get:

t=0.36s.

which is our answer.

Notice that in using the formula to calculate time we used the positive value of a, because for this formula absolute value is needed.

A net force of –8750N is used to stop of 1250.kg car travelling 25m/s. What braking distance is needed to bring the car to a hal
Karolina [17]

Answer:

d = 44.64 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Net force acting on the car, F = -8750 N

The mass of the car, m = 1250 kg

Initial speed of the car, u = 25 m/s

Final speed, v = 0 (it stops)

The formula for the net force is :

F = ma

a is acceleration of the car

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{-8750}{1250}\\\\a=-7\ m/s^2

Let d be the breaking distance. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{0^2-(25)^2}{2\times (-7)}\\\\d=44.64\ m

So, the required distance covered by the car is 44.64 m.

What is the Primacy Effect? Question 1 options:
Vika [28.1K]

Answer: The primacy effect occurs when you're more likely to remember words at the beginning of a list. A suggested reason for the primacy effect is that the initial items presented are most effectively stored in long-term memory because of the greater amount of processing devoted to them.

So B would be your answer

What is the power dissipated by the parallel resistor circuit shown above?
MatroZZZ [7]
One formula for power is

P = (voltage squared)/(resistance).

Resistance of 3 equal resistors in parallel is 1/3 of the value = 100/3 ohms.

Power = (40^2)/ (100/3)

. = (1600 • 3) / (100)

. =. 48 watts .
