Given :

A 120 kg box is on the verge of slipping down an inclined plane with an angle of inclination of 47º.

To Find :

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane.

Solution :

Vertical component of force :

mg\ sin\ \theta =  120\times 10 \times sin\ 47^\circ{}=877.62 \ N

Horizontal component of force(Normal reaction) :

mg\ cos\ \theta =  120\times 10 \times cos\ 47^\circ{}=818.40 \ N

Since, box is on the verge of slipping :

mg\ sin\ \theta= \mu(mg \ cos\ \theta)\\\\\mu = tan \ \theta\\\\\mu = tan\ 47^o\\\\\mu = 1.07

Therefore, the coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane is 1.07.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A block on a horizontal frictionless plane is attached to a spring, as shown below. The block oscillates along the x-axis with s
AleksandrR [38]

The question is about unclear since no picture provided. But from the question, it could be guessed that the box is moving back and forth on the frictionless plane at the amplitude of A in simple harmonic motion.

Answer:

D. At x=0, it's acceleration is at a maximum

Explanation:

As the box move forward, it reaches point A and than move backward. Theoretically, the box will move backwards, through its origin, to point -A and then going forward.

Point A is the maximum displacement of the box in this case. At this point, the box instantaneously stop to go backward. Therefore the velocity at that moment is zero.

From point -A, the box travel forward and keep building up speed due to the release in potential energy of the spring. And at point x=0, the velocity become maximum. After point x=0, the velocity of the box slows down due to the conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy of the spring. And as it reaches point A, it reaches zero velocity.

The same can be said as the box travels backward from point A to -A

Jim thinks that he can throw a baseball six meters per second. What does the six meters refer to?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Six meters refers to the distance the baseball travels in one second.

Explanation:

6 m/s means that every second, the baseball travels 6m. So, 6 meters is the distance traveled in one second.

Julia walks from the park, which is six blocks east of her house, to the store, which is three blocks east of her house. Julia walks for 5 minutes. This walk's average speed will be 1.2 blocks per minute. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is displacement?</h3>

Displacement is defined as the shortest distance between the two points. Distance is the horizontal length covered by the body. While displacement is the shortest distance between the two points.

Displacement is a vector quantity .its unit is m.

The average velocity on this walk will be;

\rm v_{avg}= \frac{d}{t} \\\\ \rm v_{avg}= \frac{6 \ block+ 3 \ block }{5 \ minute } \\\\ v_{avg}=1.4  \ block /min

Hence option B is correct.

A 103 kg physics professor has fallen into the Grand Canyon. Luckily, he managed to grab a branch and is now hanging 93 m below
siniylev [52]

Answer:

125.83672 seconds

Explanation:

P = Power of the horse = 1 hp = 746 W (as it is not given we have assumed the horse has the power of 1 hp)

m = Mass of professor = 103 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height of professor = 93 m

Work done would be equal to the potential energy

W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=103\times 9.8\times 93\\\Rightarrow W=93874.2\ J

Power is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{W}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{93874.2}{746}\\\Rightarrow t=125.83672\ seconds

The time taken by the horse to pull the professor is 125.83672 seconds
