Explanation :

When a person is sliding with constant velocity, the forces that are acting on him are :

(1) Weight, W = mg where g is acceleration due to gravity.

(2) Friction forces acting opposite to the direction of motion.

(3) Normal force.

The forces acting on the person is balanced because the person is sliding with constant velocity.

From figure it is clear that, friction force is balanced by w\ sin\theta and normal is balanced by w\ cos\theta.

Answer:

It is D.

Explanation:

Gravity and friction are acting on the person. The forces are balanced. There is no net force because the person is moving at a constant velocity. In this example, there is no net force when a mass moves at constant velocity. Although friction is acting on the person, there is no change in velocity and friction is not a net force in this case. Friction is only a net force if it changes the velocity of a mass. If friction slowed the person down, then there is a net force.

What is the magnitude of the net torque on the pulley about the axle?
jeyben [28]

Answer: Torque= tangential force × radius of the pulley

Explanation:

Pulley is a simple machine which helps us to lift loads by applying the force in a convenient direction. It consists of a grooved wheel which is free to rotate about an axle passing through the center of the pulley.

For a pulley, the torque T= tangential force × radius of the pulley

Pulleys can be used in combination also to achieve a desired output.

A sinusoidal traveling wave is generated on a string by an oscillating source that completes 116 cycles per minute. What is the
slava [35]

Answer:

\lambda =6.32\ cm

Explanation:

given,

number of cycle complete (f) = 116 cycles per minute

wavelength observed at 11 m in 1.5 m.

v = \dfrac{distance}{time}

v = \dfrac{11}{1.5}

v = 7.33 m/s

\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda = \dfrac{7.33}{116}

\lambda =0.0632\ m

\lambda =6.32\ cm

The wavelength of the wave is equal to \lambda =6.32\ cm
