While a roofer is working on a roof that slants at 37.0 ∘∘ above the horizontal, he accidentally nudges his 92.0 NN toolbox, cau

sing it to start sliding downward, starting from rest. If it starts 4.25 m from the lower edge of the roof, how fast will the toolbox be moving just as it reaches the edge of the roof if the kinetic friction force on it is 22.0 N?

Answer:

The speed is   v =8.17 m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The angle of slant is  \theta = 37.0^o

       The weight of the toolbox is  W_t = 92.0N

       The mass of the toolbox is m = \frac{92}{9.8} = 9.286kg

       The start point is  d = 4.25m from lower edge of roof

        The kinetic frictional force is  F_f = 22.0N

Generally the net work done on this tool box can be mathematically represented as

      Net \ work done  =  Workdone \ due \ to \ Weight + Workdone \ due \ to \ Friction

The workdone due to weigh is  =    mgsin \theta * d

 The workdone due to friction is  = F_f \ cos\theta  *   d

Substituting this into the equation for net workdone  

                 W_{net} = mgsin\theta  * d + F_f  \ cos \theta *d

      Substituting values

                  W_{net}  =  92 * sin (37)  * 4.25 + 22 cos (37) * 4.25

                          = 309.98 J

 According to work energy theorem

             W_{net} = \Delta Kinetic \ Energy

              W_{net} = \frac{1}{2} m (v - u)^2

From the question we are told that it started from rest so  u = 0 m/s

              W_{net} = \frac{1}{2} * m v^2

Making v the subject

               v = \sqrt{\frac{2 W_{net}}{m} }

Substituting value

              v = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 309.98}{9.286} }

             v =8.17 m/s

If wave A has twice the amplitude and three times the frequency as wave B, then the energy carried by wave A must be ____ times
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

4 times

Explanation:

As we know that the energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave,

Here, the amplitude of the wave A is twice as compared to B.

So, the energy of wave A is 4 times the energy of wave B.

A 6.00 A current runs through a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has 8.5×1028 free elect
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Current, I = 6 A

diameter of wire, d = 2.05 mm

number of electrons per unit volume, n = 8.5 x 10^28

If the diameter is doubled,

The resistance of the wire is inversely proportional to the square of the diameter of the wire, so the resistance is  one forth an the current is directly proportional to the diameter of the wire so the current is four times the initial value.

Which, if any, of the following statements about electric field lines is/are true? A.The electric field is always perpendicular
jonny [76]
The electric field is always perpendicular to the surface outside of a conductor. TRUE

<span> If an electron were placed on an electric field line, it would move in a direction perpendicular to the field. FALSE, it would move in an anti-parallel direction because its charge is negative </span>
 
<span>Electric field lines originate on positive charge and terminate on negative charge. TRUE ; but they can also go to infinity </span>
 
It is possible for two electric field lines to cross each other.
<span> Usually FALSE; though technically possible at special points where field is zero. </span>
 
If an electron and a positron were in the presence of a very strong electric field, they would move away from each other.
<span> TRUE; one is positive, and one is negative. If the field is strong enough, the action of the field will overcome the mutual attraction between them </span>
 
It is not possible for the electric field to ever be zero. FALSE: it IS possible, inside a conductor for instance
   
If a proton were placed on an electric field line, it would move in a direction anti-parallel to the field.
<span> FALSE: being positive, it would move in the SAME direction as the field</span>ic

Infrared light of wavelength 2.5 µm illuminates a 0.20-mm-diameter hole. What is the angle of the first dark fringe in radians?
stepan [7]

Answer:

Θ=0.01525 rad

or

Θ=0.87°

Explanation:

Given data

wavelength λ=2.5 µm =2.5×10⁻⁶m

Diameter d=0.20 mm =0.20×10⁻³m

To find

Angle Θ in radians and degree

Solution

Circular apertures have first dark fringe at

Θ=(1.22λ)/d

Substitute the given values

So

Θ=[1.22(2.5×10⁻⁶m)]/0.20×10⁻³m

Θ=0.01525 rad

or

Θ=0.87°

Which has the greater change in momentum, a 50 gram clay ball that strikes a wall at 1 m/s and sticks or a 50 gram superball tha
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: 50 gram superball that strikes the wall at 1 m/s and bounces away at 0.8 m/s has greater change in kinetic energy.

Explanation:

50 gram superball that strikes the wall at 1 m/s and bounces away at 0.8 m/s has the greater change in kinetic energy because the collision is elastic in nature that is bodies separates after collision and doesn't lose any kinetic energy.

Also for an elastic collision, both the momentum and energy of the bodies are conserved compare to inelastic collision where only momentum is conserved but not the kinetic energy(this is attributed to bodies that sticks together after collision).
