Answer:

n the case of linear motion, the change occurs in the magnitude of the velocity, the direction remaining constant.

In the case of circular motion, the magnitude of the velocity remains constant, the change in its direction occurring.

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector therefore it has magnitude and direction, a change in either of the two is the consequence of an acceleration on the system.

In the case of linear motion, the change occurs in the magnitude of the velocity, the direction remaining constant.

$a_{t}$ = (v₂-v₁)/Δt

In the case of circular motion, the magnitude of the velocity remains constant, the change in its direction occurring.

$a_{c}$ = v2/R

In the general case, both the module and the address change

a = Ra ( a_{t}^2 + a_{c}^2)

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

Explanation:

To design the experiment of measuring the critical angle, we describe the phenomenon, when the light passes from a medium with a higher refractive index to one with a lower index, it separates from the normal one and the Critical Angle is defined as the Angle for which the refraction occurs at 90º

n₂ sin θ₂ = n₁ sin 90

n₁ / n₂ = sin θ₂

As we can see, we have to measure the angle with which the laser touches the exit surface of the glass block.

Design of the experiment:

We place the glass block on the ramp and at the top we hit the conveyor for half the angle, we climb the block on the ramp and see that the angle of incidence of lightning on the exit face changes, part of the beam comes out of the glass , we see it by dispersion in the particles of dirty in the air; Maybe the conveyor or the laser should be moved slightly so that the beam touches the point of origin on the conveyor.

When we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

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:

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