A friend of yours who has not taken astronomy sees a meteor shower (she calls it a bunch of shooting stars). The next day she co

nfides in you that she was concerned that the stars in the Big Dipper (her favorite star pattern) might be the next ones to go. How would you put her mind at ease?

Establishing a potential difference The deflection plates in an oscilloscope are 10 cm by 2 cm with a gap distance of 1 mm. A 10
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

t = 23.9nS

Explanation:

given :

Area A= 10 cm by 2 cm => 2 x 10^-2m x 10 x 10^-2m

distance d= 1mm=> 0.001

resistor R= 975 ohm

Capacitance can be calculated through the following formula,

C = (ε0  x A )/d

C = (8.85 x 10^-12 x (2 x 10^-2 x 10 x 10^-2))/0.001

C = 17.7 x 10^-12    (pico 'p' = 10^-12)

C = 17.7pF

the voltage between two plates is related to time, There we use the following formula of the final voltage

Vc = Vx (1-e^-(t/CR))  

75 = 100 x (1-e^-(t/CR))

75/100 = (1-e^-(t/CR))

.75 = (1-e^-(t/CR))

.75 -1 = -e^-(t/CR)

-0.25 = -e^-(t/CR)  --->(cancelling out the negative sign)

e^-(t/CR) = 0.25

in order to remove the exponent, take logs on both sides  

-t/CR = ln (0.25)

t/CR = -ln(0.25)

t = -CR x ln (0.25)

t = -(17.7 x 10^-12 x 975) x (-1.38629)

t = 23.9 x 10^{-9  

t = 23.9ns

Thus, it took 23.9ns  for the potential difference between the deflection plates to reach 75 volts

A 25kg box in released on a 27° incline and accelerates down the incline at 0.3 m/s2. Find the friction force impending its moti
Crank

Answer:

a)  μ = 0.475 , b)   μ = 0.433

Explanation:

a) For this exercise of Newton's second law, we create a reference system with the x-axis parallel to the plane and the y-axis perpendicular to it

X axis

     Wₓ - fr = m a

the friction force has the expression

     fr = μ N

y Axis

     N - W_{y} = 0

let's use trigonometry for the components the weight

     sin 27 = Wₓ / W

     Wₓ = W sin 27

     cos 27 = W_{y} / W

     W_{y} = W cos 27

     N = W cos 27

     W sin 27 - μ W cos 27 = m a

     mg sin 27 - μ mg cos 27 = m a

      μ = (g sin 27 - a) / (g cos 27)

      very = tan 27 - a / g sec 27

      μ = 0.510 - 0.0344

      μ = 0.475

b) now the block starts with an initial speed of 3m / s. In Newton's second law velocity does not appear, so this term does not affect the result, the change in slope does affect the result

         μ = tan 25 - 0.3 / 9.8 sec 25

         μ = 0.466 -0.03378

         μ = 0.433

A larger truck takes more force to move<br><br> What law of motion is it?
Y_Kistochka [10]
Newton's Second Law would probably best describe this. 
F = ma 
Where F = force
m = mass
a = acceleration 

The force required is dependant on the mass, and where the mass is greater, the force required will be greater.
