Answer:

μ =tanθ

Explanation:=

The ratio of the force of static friction and the normal reaction is equal to tanθ. F=mgsinθ. R = mgcosθ.

μ=tanθ

Answer: So the static friction force must be equal to g*m*cos( θ)

Explanation: The force downwards of the block will be equal to the component with respect of where it can move.

So the force downwards will be:

F = Weight*cos( θ)

And we know that the weight is w = -m*g where g is the gravitational acceleration.

F = -g*m*cos( θ)

And we know that the block is at rest, so the net forces on it are equal to zero, this means that the gravitational force must be canceledby other one, and this can be the static friction force.

So the static friction force must be equal to g*m*cos( θ)

Using the right amount of significant figures, calculate the answer to the following problem, 215.5+101.02555
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

This is how I figured it out:

  1. 215.5 rounded to one significant figure is 200
  2. 101.02555 rounded to one significant figure is 100.
  3. 200 + 100 = 300.

Hope this helps!

A ball is launched with initial speed v from ground level up a frictionless slope (This means the ball slides up the slope witho
amid [387]

Answer:

hmax = 1/2 · v²/g

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to the conservation of energy and since there is no dissipative force (like friction) all the kinetic energy (KE) of the ball has to be converted into gravitational potential energy (PE) when the ball comes to stop.

KE = PE

Where KE is the initial kinetic energy and PE is the final potential energy.

The kinetic energy of the ball is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the ball

v = velocity.

The potential energy is calculated as follows:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the ball.

g = acceleration due to gravity (known value: 9.81 m/s²).

h = height.

At  the maximum height, the potential energy is equal to the initial kinetic energy because the energy is conserved, i.e, all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy (there was no energy dissipation as heat because there was no friction). Then:

PE = KE

m · g · hmax = 1/2 · m · v²

Solving  for hmax:

hmax = 1/2 · v² / g

Suppose that instead of a long straight wire, a shortstraight wire was used. The distance from the wire to thepoint that the mag
vichka [17]

Answer:

Thus, if field were sampled at same distance, the field due to short wire is greater than field due to long wire.

Explanation:

The magnetic field, B of long straight wire can be obtained by applying ampere's law

B= \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}

I is here current, and r's the distance from the wire to the field of measurement.

The magnetic field is obviously directly proportional to the current wire. From this expression.

As the resistance of the long cable is proportional to the cable length, the short cable becomes less resilient than the long cable, so going through the short cable (where filled with the same material) is a bigger amount of currents. If the field is measured at the same time, the field is therefore larger than the long wire because of the short wire.
