A scientist would use a unit of length appropriate for the magnitude of what he or she is measuring. In this case, since rock is built up very slowly, they would probably use millimetres or centimetres. In some cases they may use meters. 

There you go.

¿Por que una una tapa pequeña de agua purificada se mantiene quieta por más tiempo sobre una rampa, en comparación al tiempo red
shusha [124]

Answer:

Esto sucede principalmente por el movimiento rotacional de las ruedas del carrito.

Como sabemos, existen dos tipos de coeficientes de fricción, el estacionario y el cinético.

En principio, la tapa se mantendrá quieta por que no tendrá la suficiente fuerza como para vencer al coeficiente de fricción estático, por lo que no podrá moverse hasta que esta reciba un pequeño impulso, como puede ser una pequeña corriente de aire. (asumo que la superficie curva de la tapita es la que esta en contacto con la rampa)

(Voy a simplificar el movimiento rotacional, pero creo que es suficiente para explicar la situación)

Ahora, en el carrito, las ruedas están conectadas a un eje.

La fuerza gravitatoria podemos pensarla que esta arriba de este eje, mas o menos en el centro del carrito, y esta fuerza intentara que el carrito baje de la rampa (lo mismo pasa para la tapita), pero a diferencia de la tapita, esta fuerza es aplicada a una distancia dada del eje (o del centro de las rueditas) lo que podemos pensar que funciona como una palanca, amplificando así la fuerza, por lo que esta vez el rozamiento estático podrá detener la superficie de la rueda que esta en contacto con el suelo, pero cuanto el centro de masa se mueva un poco, el punto de contacto entre la rueda y el suelo se moverá, de esta manera aparece lo que llamamos movimiento rotacional (si no hubiera fricción, las ruedas simplemente deslizarían sobre la rampa) que le permite al carrito ignorar en parte al coeficiente de fricción estático.

Otro factor importante, es que las tapitas suelen tener una superficie rugosa y un centro de masa desfazado, lo que no las hace buenas rotadoras.

A tuba may be treated like a tube closed at one end. If a tuba has a fundamental frequency of 88.4 Hz, determine the first three
yulyashka [42]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Fundamental frequency,f=88.4 Hz

Speed of sound,v=343 m/s

We have to find the first three overtones.

Tube is closed

The overtone of closed pipe  is equal to odd number of fundamental frequency.

Therefore, the overtone of tuba

f'=nf

Where n=3,5,7,..

Substitute n=3

f'=3\times 88.4=265.2Hz

For second overtone

f'=5\times 88.4=442Hz

For third overtone

f'=7\times 88.4=618.8Hz

Calculate the work done by an applied force of 76.0 N on a crate for the following. (Include the sign of the value in your answe
telo118 [61]

Answer:

a) 400.4Joules

b) 262.69Joules

Explanation:

Work is said to be done if the force applied to an object cause the object to move through a distance

Workdone = Force × Distance

Given

Force = 76N

Distance= 5.2m

Work done = 77 × 5.2

Work done = 400.4Joules

b) If the force is exerted at an angle of 41°

Work done = Fdsin theta

Work done = 77(5.2)sin41

Work done = 400.4sin41

Work done = 262.69Joules
