Answer:

C) is zero

Explanation:

According to the law of energy conservation, the total mechanical energy of the object is conserved. A book falling a distance d would have a change in potential energy, resulting in the same change in kinetic energy. But the total mechanical energy must be the same. So there's 0 change in total energy of the system.

A mug rests on an inclined surface, as shown in (Figure 1) , θ=17∘.
Anna [14]
Refer to the figure shown below.

g =  9.8 m/s², the acceleration due to gravity.
W = mg, the weight of the mug.
θ = 17°, the angle of the ramp.

Let μ = the coefficient of static friction.

The force acting down the ramp is
F = W sin θ = W sin(17°) = 0.2924W N
The normal reaction is
N = W cosθ = W cos(17°) = 0.9563W N
The resistive force due to friction is
R = μN = 0.9563μW N

For static equilibrium,
μN = F
0.9563μW =0.2924W
μ = 0.3058

The frictional force is F = μN = 0.2924W
The minimum value of μ required to prevent the mug from sliding satisfies
 the condition
R > F
0.9563μW > 0.2924W
μ > 002924/.9563 = 0.306

Answer:
The frictional force is 0.2924mg, where m = the mass of the mug.
The minimum coefficient of static friction is 0.306

13. Which compound is most reactive?<br> ethene<br> ethyne<br> ethane
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Ethyne consists of a triple bond that is most easier to be broken as compared to that of ethyne with a double bond and benzene single bonds. Therefore ethyne is most reactive among the given options.

An alarm clock has a resistance of 14,000 ohms and is plugged into a 120-volt outlet. How much power does the clock use?
yan [13]

Power used by the clock=1.03 W

Explanation:

resistance= 14000 ohm

voltage=120 V

The formula for the power is given by

P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}

P=(120)²/14000

P=1.03 W

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is 12.3 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • height of the waterfall, h = 0.432 m
  • distance of the Salmon from the waterfall, s = 3.17 m
  • angle of projection of the Salmon, = 30.8º

The time of motion to fall from 0.432 m is calculated as;

h = v_0_y + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\0.432 = 0 + (0.5\times 9.8)t^2\\\\0.432 = 4.9t^2\\\\t^2 = \frac{0.432}{4.9} \\\\t^2 = 0.088\\\\t = \sqrt{0.088} \\\\t = 0.3 \ s

The minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is calculated as;

X = v_0_x t\\\\3.17 = (v_0\times cos(30.8)) \times 0.3\\\\10.567 = v_0\times cos(30.8)\\\\v_0 = \frac{10.567}{cos(30.8)} \\\\v_0 = 12.3 \ m/s

Thus, the minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is 12.3 m/s.
