Two climbers are on a mountain. Simon, of mass m, is sitting on a snow covered slope that makes an angle θ with the horizontal.

The coefficient of static friction between his body and the snow is μ. He is tied into one end of a massless rope that runs over a frictionless pulley. Joe, of mass M, is at the other end of the rope. He has fallen and is hanging motionless below an overhang. Derive an expression for the maximum value of Joe’s mass M so that Simon is not pulled down the slope, in terms of relevant system parameters.

Answer:

Explanation:

It is required that the weight of Joe must prevent Simon from being pulled down . That means he is not slipping down but tends to be towed down . So in equilibrium , force of friction will act in upward direction on Simon.

Let in equilibrium , tension in rope be T

For balancing Joe

T = M g

For balancing Simon

friction + T = mgsinθ

μmgcosθ+T = mgsinθ

μmgcosθ+Mg = mgsinθ

M = (msinθ - μmcosθ)

M = m(sinθ - μcosθ)

Real springs have mass. How will the true period andfrequency
Ad libitum [116K]

Explanation:

An perfect mass less spring, attached at one end and with a free mass attached at the other end, will have a distinct frequency of oscillation depending on its constant spring and mass. On the other hand, a spring with mass along its length will not have a characteristic frequency of oscillation.

Alternatively, based on its spring constant and mass per length, it will now have a wave Speed. It would be possible to use all wavelengths and frequencies, as long as the component fλ= S, where S is the spring wave size. If that sounds like longitudinal waves, like solid sound waves.

At $.110 per kWh, what does it cost to leave a 40-W porch light on day and night for a year?
nlexa [21]

The cost of electricity be  $ 38.544.

<h3>What is electricity?</h3>

Electricity is the passage of charges in a conductor. From one end of the terminal to the other, charges are transmitted. Usually, the terminal moves from positive to negative. Since the nucleus holds the electrons loosely, they can move freely throughout the body.

Watts are units of power used to measure electrical output. 

Price of electricity is $ 0.110 per kWh .

If a 40-W porch light on day and night for a year, total amount of electricity spend = power of the bulb × time

= 40 W × 1 year

= 40 W × 365 day

= 40 W × 365 ×24 h

= 350400 Wh

= 350.4 kWh.

Hence,  the cost of electricity be = $350.4 × 0.110 =  $ 38.544.

(ii) Calculate the force required to accelerate a mass of 60 kg at 2.5m/s2<br> force =<br> [2]
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Force = 150 Newton.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 60kg

Acceleration = 2.5m/s²

To find the force;

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 60 * 2.5

Force = 150 Newton.

Therefore, the force required to accelerate this mass is 150 Newton.

Which of the following statements about insulating materials is correct?a.Insulators can be used to increase the amount of curre
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

a.Insulators can be used to increase the amount of current that can flow through a resistor without increasing its temperature.

Explanation:

A conductor has low resistance, while an insulator has much higher resistance. Devices called resistors control amounts of resistance into an electrical circuits. Electric charges inside an insulator are bound to the individual atoms or molecules, not being able to move inside the material.

When you turn up the resistance, the electric current flowing through the circuit is reduced

Ohm's law:

V = I * R

R = V/I

An Ohmic conductor would have a linear relationship between the current and the voltage. With non-Ohmic conductors, the relationship is not linear. Most metals are good conductors example silver, copper etc.
