A professor has to haul a cart up a ramp. The ramp has an angle of about 10 degrees and is about 5 meters long. His initial spee

d at the bottom of the ramp is 4.5 m/s, and the cart has a mass of about 80 kg. How hard does he have to push on the cart so that at the top of the ramp, its speed has not dropped below 3.6 m/s? Neglecting friction, what is the magnitude of the minimum force he has to exert on the cart?

Answer:

77.95 N

Explanation:

work done by force WF = F×L

work done by gravity Wg = -m×g×L×sinθ

initial kinetic energy Ki = (1/2)×m×vi^2

final kinetic energy Kf = (1/2)×m×vf^2

from work energy relation

net work = change in KE

W_tot = K_f - K_i

WF + Wg = K_f - K_i

F×L - mg×L×sinθ = (1/2)×m×(v_f^2 - v_i^2)

F×5 - 80×9.81×5×sin10 = (1/2)×80×(3.6^2-4.5^2)

force F = 77.95 N

A solar cooker, really a concave mirror pointed at the Sun, focuses the Sun's rays 13.8 cm in front of the mirror. Part A What i
shepuryov [24]

From the concept of optics on a curvature of a spherical mirror, the proportion for which the focal length is equivalent to half the radius of curvature is fulfilled. Mathematically this is

f = \frac{R}{2}

Here,

f = Focal Length

R = Radius

Rearranging to find the radius we have,

R = 2f

Replacing with our values,

R = 2(13.8cm)

R = 27.6cm

Therefore the radius of the spherical surface from which the mirror was made is 27.6cm

If the numbers on the plate are 6.0 cm apart, and the spy satellite is at an altitude of 160 km , what must be the diameter of t
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The diameter of the camera aperture must be greater than or equal to 1.49m

Explanation:

Let the distance separating two objects, x = 6.0 cm = 0.06 m

The distance between the observer and the two objects, d = 160 km = 160000 m

Let ∅ = minimum angular separation between the two objects that the satellite can resolve

tan( ∅) = x/d

Since there is minimum angular separation, tan( ∅) ≈∅

∅ = x/d

∅ = 0.06/160000

∅ = 3.75 * 10⁻⁷rad

For the satellite to be able to resolve the objects,

D ≥ 1.22λ/∅

λ = 560 nm = 560 * 10⁻⁹

D  ≥ 1.22 *  (560 * 10⁻⁹)/(3.75 * 10⁻⁷)

D  ≥ 149.33 * 10⁻² m

D  ≥ 1.49 m

What is meta physics and its importance
artcher [175]

Answer:

Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that studies the fundamental nature of reality, the first principles of being, identity and change, space and time, causality, necessity, and possibility.

Explanation:

Just as physics deals with the laws that govern the physical world (such as those of gravity or the properties of waves), metaphysics describes what is beyond physics—the nature and origin of reality itself, the immortal soul, and the existence of a supreme being.
