A block of mass m is placed on a smooth wedge of inclination θ . The whole system is accelerated horizontally so that the block

does not slip on the wedge. The force exerted by the wedge on the block has a magnitude: (A) mg tan θ (B) mg sin θ (C) mg cos θ (D) mg sec θ

Answer: mg/Cosθ

Explanation:

Taking horizontal acceleration of wedge as 'a'

FCosΘ = FsinΘ

F = mass(m) × acceleration(a) = ma

For horizontal resolution g = 0

Therefore,

Horizontal = Vertical

maCosΘ = mgSinΘ

aCosΘ = gSinΘ

a = gSinΘ/CosΘ

Recall from trigonometry :

SinΘ/Cosθ = tanΘ

Therefore,

a = gtanΘ

Normal force acing on the wedge:

mgCosΘ + maSinΘ - - - - (y)

Substitute a = gtanΘ into (y)

mgCosΘ + mgtanΘsinΘ

tanΘ = sinΘ/cosΘ

mgCosΘ + mgsinΘ/cosΘsinΘ

mgCosΘ + mgsin^2Θ/cosΘ

Factorizing

mg(Cosθ + sin^2Θ/cosΘ)

Taking the L. C. M

mg[(Cos^2θ + sin^2Θ) /Cosθ]

Recall: Cos^2θ + sin^2Θ = 1

mg[ 1 /Cosθ]

mg/Cosθ

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

a) We know that;

v = λf

Where;

λ = wavelength of the wave

f = frequency of the wave

v = velocity of the wave

So;

T = 2 * 2.10 s = 4.2 s

Hence f = 1/4.2 s

f = 0.24 Hz

The wavelength =  6.5 m

Hence;

v = 6.5 m * 0.24 Hz

v = 1.56 m/s

b)The amplitude of the wave is;

A =  0.600 m/2 = 0.300 m

c) Since the wave speed does not depend on the amplitude of the wave then the answer in (a) above remains the same

Where d = 0.30 m

A = 0.30 m/2 = 0.15 m

If an atom has 13 protons and is currently electrically neutral, what must happen to give the same atom a positive charge of +2e
Alex777 [14]

The atom must lose 2 electrons

Explanation:

An atom consists of three types of particles:

- Protons, in the nucleus, with positive electric charge +e

- Neutrons, in the nucleus, with no electric charge

- Electrons, orbiting around the nucleus, with negative electric charge -e

As a result, the net electric charge of an atom is given by the number of protons minus the number of electrons:

Q = #p - #e

For a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons is the same, so the net charge is zero.

In order for an atom to have a positive charge of +2, it means that there must be 2 protons more than the number of electrons. Since atoms exchange electrons (and not protons), this means that the atom must have "lost" 2 electrons.

In this problem, we have an atom with 13 protons: this means that initially it also has 13 electrons. However, later the atom lost 2 electrons, and as a result, the final charge is +2e.

12000 inches to yards
Nutka1998 [239]

ANSWER

\begin{equation*} 333.33\text{ yds} \end{equation*}

EXPLANATION

We want to convert 12000 inches to yards.

To do this, divide the value in inches by 36:

\begin{gathered} 1\text{ in }=\frac{1}{36}\text{ yd} \\  \\ 12000\text{ in }=\frac{12000}{36}\text{ yds }=333.33\text{ yds} \end{gathered}

That is the answer.

Which of the following is true about green light? a) It has a greater frequency than red light and blue light. b) It has a small
lesantik [10]

Answer:

c) It has a greater frequency than red light but a smaller frequency than blue light.

Explanation:

According to the relation:

c = frequency × Wavelength

The higher the frequency, the lower the value of wavelength

The order of wavelength is:

Violet < Indigo < Blue < Green < Yellow < Orange < Red

Stated above, frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. Thus, the order of wavelength is:

Violet > Indigo > Blue > Green > Yellow > Orange > Red

Thus,

<u>Green light has lower frequency than blue light and higher than red light.</u>
