9) At a construction site, a small crane is raising two boxes of nails on a plank to the roof. One box has already been opened a

nd is half full, while the other box is new. The boxes, including the nails, weight 10 kg and 20 kg, respectively, and are the same size
a) As the plank tilts towards the heavier box, predict which box of nails will start to slide first. Explain your prediction

Answer:

The two boxes will start sliding at the same angle. Their different masses does not affect when one of the boxes will start sliding.

Explanation:

The two boxes will start sliding when the frictional force,Ff= The gravitational force,Fg

Ff= mgcos theta× coefficient of friction

Fg= mgsintheta

Ff=Fg= mgsintheta=mgcos theta×coefficient of friction

Dividing through with mg on both sides gives

Sintheta=ucostheta

Sintheta/costheta= Tan theta

Theta= tan^-1(coefficient of fricition)

From the solution mass of the boxes and gravity does not affect when the boxes will start sliding.

Box 1 (having a mass of 10 kg) will slide first as it has less inertia than the other box. It will also require less force to overcome static friction between the surface of the plank and that of the first box.

How would you go about separating the components of a mixture of sand, gravel, salt and iron filings
larisa86 [58]

Pour the entire components into water.

First the iron filings can be separated using a magnet as iron is a magnetic element.

By pouring the mixture into water, it allows the salt to dissolve in the water, while the sand will not.

Next we can run this solution through a filtration device to separate the sand from the water.

Now all that's left is to let the water evaporate so that the salt will be exposed that dissolved into the water.

A ball traveling at 15 m/s hits a bat with a force of 200N. How much force does the bat (moving at 20m/s)
just olya [345]

Answer:

200 N

Explanation:

Given that,

A ball traveling at 15 m/s hits a bat with a force of 200 N.

We need to find the force that the bat moving at 20 m/s hit the ball with.

We know that, this probelm is based on Newton's third law of motion. The force that the ball exerting on bat should be equal to the force that the bat exerting in the ball but in opposite direction.

It would mean that the ball hits the ball with a force of 200 N. Hence, the correct option is (a).

A planar electromagnetic wave is propagating in the +x direction. At a certain point P and at a given instant, the electric fiel
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

B=2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T

Explanation:

It is given that,

A planar electromagnetic wave is propagating in the +x direction.The electric field at a certain point is, E = 0.082 V/m

We need to find the magnetic vector of the wave at the point P at that instant.

The relation between electric field and magnetic field is given by :

c=\dfrac{E}{B}

c is speed of light

B is magnetic field

B=\dfrac{E}{c}\\\\B=\dfrac{0.082}{3\times 10^8}\\\\B=2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T

So, the magnetic vector at point P at that instant is 2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T.
