Answer:

b. mg ( μ · cos θ + sin θ)

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a graphical description of the problem.

We have the following parallel forces acting on the block (in parallel direction to the direction of movement):

F = applied force.

Fr = friction force.

wx = parallel component of the weight.

According to Newton´s second law:

∑F = m · a

Where "m" is the mass of the block and "a" its acceleration.

Then:

F - Fr - wx = m · a

Since the block is to be pushed at a constant velocity, the acceleration is zero. Then:

F - Fr - wx = 0

F = Fr + wx

The applied force has to be equal to the friction force plus the parallel component of the weight to push the block at constant velocity.

The friction force is calculated as follows:

Fr = μ · N

Where N is the normal force and μ is the coefficient of friction.

Notice that the normal force is of the same magnitude as the perpendicular component of the weight, wy.

Let´s apply Newton´s second law in the perpendicular direction to show this:

∑F = m · a

N - wy = m · a

The acceleration of the block in the perpendicular direction is zero. Then:

N - wy = 0

N = wy

And wy can be obtained by trigonometry (see figure):

wy = W · cos θ

N = wy = mg ·  cos θ

The parallel component of the weight is calculated using trigonometry (see figure):

wx = W · sin θ

wx = mg · sin θ

Then the applied force will be:

F = Fr + wx

F = μ · N + mg · sin θ      (N = wy = mg ·  cos θ)

F = μ · mg ·  cos θ  + mg · sin θ

F = mg ( μ · cos θ + sin θ)

The correct answer is the b.

We have two solenoids: solenoid 2 has twice the diameter, half the length, and twice as many turns as solenoid 1. The current in
leva [86]

Answer:

the field at the center of solenoid 2 is 12 times the field at the center of solenoid 1.

Explanation:

Recall that the field inside a solenoid of length L, N turns, and a circulating current I, is given by the formula:

B=\mu_0\, \frac{N}{L} I

Then, if we assign the subindex "1" to the quantities that define the magnetic field (B_1) inside solenoid 1, we have:

B_1=\mu_0\, \frac{N_1}{L_1} I_1

notice that there is no dependence on the diameter of the solenoid for this formula.

Now, if we write a similar formula for solenoid 2, given that it has :

1) half the length of solenoid 1 . Then L_2=L_1/2

2) twice as many turns as solenoid 1. Then N_2=2\,N_1

3) three times the current of solenoid 1. Then I_2=3\,I_1

we obtain:

B_2=\mu_0\, \frac{N_2}{L_2} I_2\\B_2=\mu_0\, \frac{2\,N_1}{L_1/2} 3\,I_1\\B_2=\mu_0\, 12\,\frac{N_1}{L_1} I_1\\B_2=12\,B_1

A 5.0 kg chunk of putty moving at 10m/s collides and sticks to a 7.0 kg bowling ball that is initially at rest.What is the total
Flura [38]

Answer:

Total momentum = 50kgm/s

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass, M1 = 5kg

Mass, M2 = 7kg

Velocity, V1 = 10m/s

Velocity, V2 = 0m/s (since it's at rest).

To find the total momentum;

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = Mass * Velocity

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total linear momentum of any closed system would always remain constant with respect to time.

Total momentum = M1V1 + M2V2

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Total momentum = 5*10 + 7*0

Total momentum = 50 + 0

<em>Total momentum = 50 kgm/s</em>

<em>Therefore, the total momentum of the bowling ball and the putty after they collide is 50 kgm/s. </em>

The melting point of a solid is 90.0C. What is the heat required to change 2.5 kg of this solid at 30.0C to a liquid? The specif
Neko [114]

Hey again!

Ok..

Now... The melting Point of this solid is 90°C.

Meaning That as soon as it gets to this temp... It STARTS Melting.

So at that temp... It still has some solid parts in it.

You can say its a Solid Liquid Mixture.

Additional Heat being applied at that point is not raising the temperature;rather its used in breaking the bonds in the solid. This is the Fusion stage.

After Fusion...It'd then Be a Pure Liquid with no solids in it.

So

Q'=MC∆0----- This is the heat needed to take the solid's temp from 30°c - 90°c

Q"=ml ----- This is the heat used in breaking the bonds holding the solids in the solid-liquid phase.

So

Q= Q' + Q"

Q= mc∆0 + ml

∆0 = 90°c - 30°c = 60°c

Q= 2.5(390)(60) + (2.5)(4000)

Q=6.9 x 10⁴Joules

a flowerpot falls from a windowsill 25m above the sidewalk how fast is the flowerpot moving when it strikes the ground
Mariana [72]

s = 25m

v = ?

a = 9.81m/s²

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2x9.81x25

v² = 490.5

v = √490.5

= 22.15m/s
