Answer:

A hot spot is a region deep within the Earth's mantle from which heat rises through the process of convection. This heat facilitates the melting of rock. The melted rock, known as magma, often pushes through cracks in the crust to form volcanoes.

A sled of mass m is being pulled horizontally by a constant horizontal force of magnitude F. The coefficient of kinetic friction

rusak2 [61]

I'll bite:

-- Since the sled's mass is 'm', its weight is 'mg'.

-- Since the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk, the force acting opposite to the direction it's sliding is    (μk) times (mg) .

-- If the pulling force is constant 'F', then the horizontal forces on the sled
are 'F' forward and (μk · mg) backwards.

-- The net force on the sled is (F - μk·mg).
(I regret the visual appearance that's beginning to emerge,
but let's forge onward.)

-- The sled's horizontal acceleration is (net force) / (mass) = (F - μk·mg) / m.
This could be simplified, but let's not just yet.

-- Starting from rest, the sled moves a distance 's' during time 't'.
We know that s = 1/2 a t² , and we know what 'a' is. So we can write

   s = (1/2 t²) (F - μk·mg) / m .

Now we have the distance, and the constant force.
The total work is (Force x distance), and the power is (Work / time).
Let's put it together and see how ugly it becomes. Maybe THEN
it can be simplified.

Work = (Force x distance) = F x (1/2 t²) (F - μk·mg) / m

Power = (Work / time) = <em>F (t/2) (F - μk·mg) / m </em>

Unless I can come up with something a lot simpler, that's the answer.

To simplify and beautify, make the partial fractions out of the
2nd parentheses:
   <em> F (t/2) (F/m - μk·m)</em>

I think that's about as far as you can go. I tried some other presentations,
and didn't find anything that's much simpler.

Five points,ehhh ?

A snowball accelerates at

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

0. 1226495726kg

Explanation:

Force is the product of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically,

Force(F) = mass (m)×acceleration(a)

Substituting the values into the equation

2. 87=m×23. 4

2. 87=m (23. 4)

2. 87/23. 4=m (23. 4)/23. 4

2. 87/23. 4=m

0. 1226495726=m

Two waves are superposed. one wave has an amplitude of 5 cm, and other has an amplitude of 4 cm. What is the resultant amplitude

Vsevolod [243]

If both waves have the same wavelength, then the amplitude of
their sum could be anything between 1 cm and 9 cm, depending
on the phase angle between them.

If the waves have different wavelengths, then the resultant is a beat
with an amplitude of 9 cm.

A screen is placed 1.20m behind a single slit. The central maximum in the resulting diffraction pattern on the screen is 1.40cm

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

2.8 cm

Explanation:

$y_1$ = Separation between two first order diffraction minima = 1.4 cm

D = Distance of screen = 1.2 m

m = Order

Fringe width is given by

$\beta_1=\dfrac{y_1}{2}\\\Rightarrow \beta_1=\dfrac{1.4}{2}\\\Rightarrow \beta_1=0.7\ cm$

Fringe width is also given by

$\beta_1=\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{\beta_1}$

For second order

$\beta_2=\dfrac{m_2\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow \beta_2=\dfrac{m_2\lambda D}{\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{\beta_1}}\\\Rightarrow \beta_2=\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}\beta_1$

Distance between two second order minima is given by

$y_2=2\beta_2$

$\\\Rightarrow y_2=2\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}\beta_1\\\Rightarrow y_2=2\dfrac{2}{1}\times 0.7\\\Rightarrow y_2=2.8\ cm$

The distance between the two second order minima is 2.8 cm
