A free body diagram of a brick on an inclined plane is shown below. What is the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane?

Physics
1 answer:
Norma-Jean [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

#See solution for details.

Explanation:

-Mechanical advantage is the ratio of input force to an output force.

-Let the length of the inclined plane be x and the height be y.

-The mechanical advantage is calculated as:

M_{advantage}=\frac{x}{y}

Hence, the inclined plane increases the force being exerted by \frac{x}{y} times.

Lilit [14]

Answer:

A closed system.

Explanation:

The three major types of system are: open, closed and isolated. Open system interacts with its surroundings with respect to its particles and energy. A closed system interacts with its surroundings with respect to energy but not its particles. While an isolated system does not interact with its surroundings in any way.

Therefore, after the jar is sealed, it is an example of a closed system. This is because the emitted gas could not escape into the surroundings, but thermal energy was emitted into its surroundings after the chemical reaction has taken place.

In what ways does a stream transport its load, and which part of the load moves most slowly? Select all that apply.
vodka [1.7K]

Answer: Option (B)

Explanation: A stream transports its materials in different ways-

  1. <u>Dissolved load-</u> Here, the materials gets dissolved when mixed with water and flows along with the stream.
  2. <u>Suspended load</u>- Here, the materials are not fully dissolved in the water but they can be carried from one place to another in suspension mode, by the river.
  3. <u>Bed load-</u> Bed load are transported in three different ways such as-
  • Sliding- here, the materials slides down along a curved surface under the water and carried away.
  • Rolling- here, the materials are solid and due to force exerted by water, it can roll and move to distant places.
  • Saltation- here, the materials are carried away in a series of jumps.

Thus, the most appropriate answer is option (B) i.e bedload.

If a soap bubble is 115 nm thick, what wavelength is most strongly reflected at the center of the outer surface when illuminated
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

611.8 nm

Explanation:

n_{oil} = Index of refraction of soap bubble  = 1.33

t = thickness of the soap bubble = 115 nm = 115 x 10⁻⁹ m

\lambda = wavelength of light = ?

m = order = 0

For reflection , the necessary condition is

2 n_{oil} t = (m + 0.5) \lambda

2 (1.33)(115\times 10^{-9})= (0 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 6.118\times 10^{-7}

\lambda = 611.8 nm
