Answer:

The mass of the object is 3.08 kg.

Explanation:

The horizontal force is12.7 N and the coefficient of the kinetic fraction are 0.42. Now we have to compute the mass of the object. Thus, use the below formula to find the mass of the object.

Let the mass of the object = m.

The coefficient of kinetic friction, n = 0.42

Therefore,

Force, F = n × mg

12.7 = 0.42 × 9.8 × m

m = 3.08 kg

The mass of the object is 3.08 kg.

Explain what white light is and what it’s composed of.

Nataly_w [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The light that comes from the sun is called white light. Actually white light is a mixture of lights of different colors. When we look at the rainbow we can see the colors that make up the white light. This phenomenon, known as dispersion, occurs when a ray of composite light is refracted (refraction) in some medium, and its constituent colors are separated.

I attached you I picture where you can see this process

Basically, when the light passes through a glass prism, the different wavelengths that make up the beam of light travel inside it at different speeds and curl differently when entering and leaving resulting in a beam deviated from the initial direction and with its separate components.

Helppp pls yes or no question

svp [43]

Answer:

yes, should be

Explanation:

This is a hard yes or no question becuase the amplitudes are the same height but in different beating orders.

Does someone know how to do math with that equation

mestny [16]

Answer:

f = 5 cm

Explanation:

using the thin lens equation, given as follows:

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_{o}}+\frac{1}{d_{i}}\\$

where,

f = focal length = ?

do = the distance of object from lens = 20 cm

di = the distance of image from lens = 6.6667 cm

Therefore,

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{20\ cm}+\frac{1}{6.6667\ cm}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = 0.199999\ cm^{-1}\\\\f = \frac{1}{0.199999\ cm^{-1}}\\\\$

<u>f = 5 cm</u>

A 0.29 kg particle moves in an xy plane according to x(t) = - 19 + 1 t - 3 t3 and y(t) = 20 + 7 t - 9 t2, with x and y in meters

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Part a)

$F = 7.76 N$

Part b)

$\theta = -137.7 degree$

Part c)

$\theta = -127.7 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that acceleration is rate of change in velocity of the object

So here we know that

$x = -19 + t - 3t^3$

$y = 20 + 7t - 9t^2$

Part a)

differentiate x and y two times with respect to time to find the acceleration

$a_x = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(-19 + t - 3t^3)$

$a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +1 - 9t^2)$

$a_x = -18t$

$a_y = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(20 + 7t - 9t^2)$

$a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +7 - 18t)$

$a_y = -18$

Now the acceleration of the object is given as

$\vec a = (-18t)\hat i + (-18)\hat j$

at t= 1.1 s we have

$\vec a = -19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j$

now the net force of the object is given as

$\vec F = m\vec a$

$\vec F = (0.29 kg)(-19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j)$

$\vec F = -5.74 \hat i - 5.22 \hat j$

now magnitude of the force will be

$F = \sqrt{5.74^2 + 5.22^2} = 7.76 N$

Part b)

Direction of the force is given as

$tan\theta = \frac{F_y}{F_x}$

$tan\theta = \frac{-5.22}{-5.74}$

$\theta = -137.7 degree$

Part c)

For velocity of the particle we have

$v_x = \frac{dx}[dt}$

$v_x = (0 +1 - 9t^2)$

$v_y = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$v_y = (0 +7 - 18t)$

now at t = 1.1 s

$\vec v = -9.89\hat i - 12.8 \hat j$

now the direction of the velocity is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{-12.8}{-9.89})$

$\theta = -127.7 degree$
