Answer:

1) A downward force of magnitude 5 N is exerted on the book by the force of of gravity

2) An upward force of magnitude 5 N is exerted on the book by the table

Explanation:

First of all, any object near the Earth's surface experiences the forces of gravity, which is also called weight of the object. This force always acts downward.

For the book in the problem, the magnitude of the weight is 5 N.

We also know that the book is at rest: this means that the net force acting on it is zero, and there must be another force balancing the weight, in order to give a zero net force. This other force is the reaction force exerted by the table on the book: the magnitude of this force must be equal to the force of gravity (so, 5 N) and its direction is opposite to the weight, therefore upward.

Block on inclined plane experience a force due to gravity of 300N straight down. If the slope is inclined at 67.8°to the horizon

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The component of the force due to gravity perpendicular and parallel to the slope is 113.4 N and 277.8 N respectively.

Explanation:

Force is any cause capable of modifying the state of motion or rest of a body or of producing a deformation in it. Any force can be decomposed into two vectors, so that the sum of both vectors matches the vector before decomposing. The decomposition of a force into its components can be done in any direction.

Taking into account the simple trigonometric relations, such as sine, cosine and tangent, the value of their components and the value of the angle of application, then the parallel and perpendicular components will be:

Fparallel = F*sinα =300 N*sin 67.8° =300 N*0.926⇒ Fparallel =277.8 N
Fperpendicular = F*cosα = 300 N*cos 67.8° = 300 N*0.378 ⇒ Fperpendicular= 113.4 N

You have a double slit experiment, with the distance between the two slits to be 0.025 cm. A screern is 120 cm behind the double

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the two slits d= 0.025 cm

Distance between the screen and slits D = 120 cm

Distance between the slits y= 1.52 cm

We need to calculate the angle

Using formula of double slit

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{D}$

Where, y = Distance between the slits

D = Distance between the screen and slits

Put the value into the formula

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{1.52}{120}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{1.52}{120}$

$\theta=0.725$

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$d\sin\theta=n\lambda$

Put the value into the formula

$0.025\times\sin0.725=5\times\lambda$

$\lambda=\dfrac{0.025\times10^{-2}\times\sin0.725}{5}$

$\lambda=6.326\times10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=633\ nm$

Hence, The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.

A body initially at 100°C cools to 60°C in minutes and to 40°C. The temperature of body at the end of 15 minutes will be

zhuklara [117]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A body initially at a all 100 degree centigarde cools to 60 degree centigarde in 5 minutes and to 40 degree centigarde in 10 minutes . What is the temperature of surrounding? What will be the temperature in 15 minutes?

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

From Newton's law of cooling;

θ1 - θ2/t = K(θ1 + θ2/2 - θo]

Where;

θ1 and θ2 are initial and final temperatures

θo is the temperature of the surroundings

K is the constant

t is the time taken

Hence;

100 - 60/5 = K(100 + 60/2 - θo)

100 - 40/10 = K(100 + 40/2 - θo)

8= (80 - θo)K -----(1)

6= (70 - θo)K -----(2)

Diving (1) by (2)

8/6 = (80 - θo)/(70 - θo)

8(70 - θo) = 6(80 - θo)

560 - 8θo = 480 - θo

560 - 480 = -θo + 8θo

80 = 7θo

θo = 11.4°

Again from Newton's law of cooling;

θ = θo + Ce^-kt

Where;

t= 0, θ = 60° and θo = 11.4°

60 = 11.4 + C e^-K(0)

60 - 11.4 = C

C= 48.6°

To obtain K

40 = 11.4 + 48.6e^-10k

40 -11.4 = 48.6e^-10k

28.6/48.6 = e^-10k

0.5585 = e^-10k

-10k = ln0.5585

k= ln0.5585/-10

K= 0.0583

Hence, the temperature in 15 minutes;

θ= 11.4 + 48.6e^(-0.0583 × 15)

θ= 31.7°
