A hockey puck is at rest on a flat surface. Then one end of the surface is lifted gradually, forming an inclined plane of increa

sing slope. By measuring the angle of the slope at which the puck begins to slide, what quantity can be calculated?
the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the surface

the mass of the puck

the volume of the puck

the coefficient of static friction between the puck and the surface

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

Enter your answer in the provided box. The mathematical equation for studying the photoelectric effect is hν = W + 1 2 meu2 wher

siniylev [52]

Answer:

$v = 4.44 \times 10^5 m/s$

Explanation:

By Einstein's Equation of photoelectric effect we know that

$h\nu = W + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

here we know that

$h\nu$ = energy of the photons incident on the metal

$W$ = minimum energy required to remove photons from metal

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ = kinetic energy of the electrons ejected out of the plate

now we know that it requires 351 nm wavelength of photons to just eject out the electrons

so we can say

$W = \frac{hc}{351 nm}$

here we know that

$hc = 1242 eV-nm$

now we have

$W = \frac{1242}{351} = 3.54 eV$

now by energy equation above when photon of 303 nm incident on the surface

$\frac{1242 eV-nm}{303 nm} = 3.54 eV + \frac{1}{2}(9.1 \times 10^{-31})v^2$

$4.1 eV = 3.54 eV + (4.55 \times 10^{-31}) v^2$

$(4.1 - 3.54)\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}) = (4.55 \times 10^{-31}) v^2$

$8.96 \times 10^{-20} = (4.55 \times 10^{-31}) v^2$

$v = 4.44 \times 10^5 m/s$

An American Red Cross plane needs to drop emergency supplies to victims of a hurricane in a remote part of the world. The plane

Andreas93 [3]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Assume that air resistance is ignored.

Note:
The distance, h, of a falling object with initial vertical velocity of zero at time t is
h = (1/2)gt²
where
g = 9.8 m/s²

The initial vertical velocity of the supplies is 0 m/s.
It the time taken for the supplies to reach the ground is t, then
(50 m) = (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(t s)²

Hence obtain
t² = 50/4.9 = 10.2041
t = 3.1944 s

The horizontal distance traveled at a speed of 100 m/s is
d = (100 m/s)*(3.1944 s) = 319.44 m

Answer: 319.4 m (nearest tenth)
