Answer:

Explanation:

lthough the earliest examples of mummification were accidental, with bodies being preserved because of very dry, desert conditions, it soon became religiously important in ancient Egypt and was done deliberately. Ancient Egyptians believed that a happy afterlife depended in part on careful mummification. The word mummification is formed with the suffix -fication, "a making or causing," and mummy, from the Arabic mumiyah, "embalmed body," from the Persian root mum, "wax."

A box is placed on a conveyor belt that moves with a constant speed of 1.05 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The box stops in 0.139 seconds, after moving 7.29cm (0.0729m) backwards relative to the belt.

Explanation:

As the box is initially at rest relative to the earth, it is moving backwards with a speed of 1.05m/s relative to the belt. Then, the frictional force acts on the box to make it stop relative to the belt. So, we first have to write the equations of motion of the box in each axis:

$x: f_k=ma\implies a=\frac{f_k}{m} \\\\y: N-mg=0\implies N=mg$

Since the frictional force $f_k$ is equal to $f_k=\mu_k N=\mu_k mg$ , then we have that the acceleration is:

$a=\frac{\mu_k mg}{m}=\mu_k g$

Now, from the definition of acceleration we get:

$a=\frac{v-v_0}{t}\implies t=\frac{v-v_0}{a}$

And, as the final velocity is zero because the box gets to a stop, we have:

$t=-\frac{v_0}{a}=-\frac{v_0}{\mu_k g}$

(Don't worry about the negative sign. It will disappear because the initial velocity is also negative, since we take the box initially moving backwards)

Then, plugging in the given values, we calculate the time:

$t=-\frac{(-1.05m/s)}{0.770(9.81m/s^{2})}=0.139s$

In words, the time the box takes to stop sliding relative to the belt is 0.139s.

The displacement of the box in this time, is given by the kinematics formula:

$v^{2}=v_0^{2}+2ax\implies x=-\frac{v_0^{2}}{2\mu_kg}$

Finally, we calculate the displacement:

$x=-\frac{(1.05m/s)^{2} }{2(0.770)(9.81m/s^2)}=-0.0729m=-7.29cm$

This means that the box moves 7.29cm backwards relative to the belt.

What do you need to know to be able to determine how far a projectile travels horizontally?

Effectus [21]

As for me, there are two suitable answers for the question represented above and here is a short explanation why I consider these two to be correct :
D. The horizontal velocity of the projectile and <span>B. The length of time before it lands
</span> $v_x = v*cos(x) [

d_x = v_x(t) + ½at²$ -- this led me to answers! Hope everything is clear! Regards!<span>

What is the speaker’s power output if the sound intensity level is 102 dBdB at a distance of 25 mm ? Express your answer to two

lesya [120]

Answer:

Power = 124.50 W

Explanation:

Given that:

The Sound intensity of a speaker output is 102 dB

and the distance r = 25 m

For the intensity of sound,

$\beta (dB)= 10 \ log_{10 } (\dfrac{I}{I_o})$

where;

the threshold of hearing $I_o = 10^{-12} (W/m^2)$

$\dfrac{102 }{10}= log_{10}( \dfrac{I}{10^{-12}})$

$10^{10.2} = \dfrac{I}{10^{-12}}$

$I = 10^{10.2} \times 10^{-12}$

I = 0.01585 W/m²

If we recall, we know remember that ;

Power = Intensity × A rea

Power = 0.01585 W/m² × 4 × 3.142 × (25 m)²

Power = 124.50 W
