The coefficient of static friction between the puck and the surface.

In fact, that coefficient describes exactly how "hard" it is to cause the puck to start moving, if it starts from an idle condition.

Answer:

the coefficient of static friction between the puck and the surface

Explanation:

As per the FBD we can say that as we increase the angle of the inclination the component of force of gravity will counterbalance the friction force

At the condition of just equilibrium when it is just begin to slide then in that case we can say

$F_f = mg sin\theta$

so here for finding frictional force maximum value we can say

$F_f = \mu F_n$

here for finding Normal force we can write force balance normal to the inclined plane

$F_n = mgcos\theta$

now from above equations

$\mu (mgcos\theta) = mg sin\theta$

$\mu = tan\theta$

so angle depends on the coefficient of static friction

A stone is launched from the ground, at a 70° angle, with an initial velocity of 120 m/s.

The classic equation for distance is velocity multiplied by time. And unfortunately, all of your available options have the form of that equation. In fact, the only difference between any of the equations is what looks to be velocity. And in order to solve the problem initially, you need to divide the velocity vector into a vertical velocity vector and a horizontal velocity vector. And the horizontal velocity vector is simply the cosine of the angle multiplied by the total velocity. So H = 120*cos(70) = 120*0.34202 = 41.04242 So the horizontal velocity is about 41 m/s. Looking at the available options, only "A" even comes close.</span>

After an ice storm, ice falls from one of the top floors of a 65-story building. The ice falls freely under the influence of gra

adell [148]

Answer:

The correct answer is a) The kinetic energy of the ice increases by equal amounts for equal distances.

Explanation:

The law of conservation states that the energy cannot be created nor be destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.Before the ice even starts falling we already know that it possesses energy in the form of potential energy given by P=mgh where m is the mass of the ice , g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of the ice above the ground whatever that may be, since a number is not given here.As the ice falls the energy is converted from potential energy to kinetic energy. We notice one thing about the equation for the potential energy P , which is that it is not only directly proportional to h but also is linear in h as well(which is the main reason why a) is correct) which means that if the ice drops by 1 meter the potential energy it will have lost would be ΔPE=mgΔh=-mg, where Δh is the change in its height which is 1 meter here.And according to the principle of conservation of energy this energy must be converted to kinetic energy so the ΔKE=-ΔPE=mg, and this process repeats and for each meter it falls, it picks up the same amount of kinetic energy equaling mg(which is the same as the loss in PE per each meter of fall). So a 2 meter decrease in height will result in an increase in KE of 2mg, a 3 meter decrease in height will result in an increase in KE of 3mg. gain in kinetic energy only depends on the drop in height, which is true irrespective of where the ice might happen to be in its journey close to the top or the bottom. So the drop in height of lets say x at any point in the journey will result in the same increase in KE = ΔKE = mgx. Which proves part a) to be correct.

A drop of oil of volume 10m it spread out on water to make a circular firm of radius 10m calculate the tickness of the firm

Effectus [21]

Answer:

h = 3.1 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

The volume of a oil drop, V = 10 m

Radius, r = 10 m

We need to find the thickness of the film. The film is in the form of a cylinder whose volume is as follows :

$V=\pi r^2 h\\\\h=\dfrac{V}{\pi r^2}\\\\h=\dfrac{10}{\pi \times 10^2}\\\\h=0.031\ m\\\\h=3.1\ cm$

So, the thickness of the film is equal to 3.1 cm.

spotlight on a boat is 2.5 m above the water, and the light strikes the water at a point that is 8.0 m horizontally displaced fr

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let i be the angle of incidence and r be the angle of refraction .

From the figure

Tan ( 90 - i ) = 2.5 / 8

cot i = 2.5 / 8

Tan i = 8 / 2.5 = 3.2

i = 72.65°

From snell's law

sini / sin r = refractive index

sin 72.65 / sinr = 1.333

sin r = .9545 / 1.333

= .72

r = 46⁰

From the figure

Tan r = d / 4

Tan 46 = d /4

d = 4 x Tan 46

= 4 x 1.0355

=4.14 m .
