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

Review. An electron moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field of magnitude 1.00 mT . The angular momen
Ghella [55]

The speed of an electron when it moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field is 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.

The angular momentum(L) of an electron moving in a circular path is given by the formula,

L = mvr ........(i)

We know that the radius of the path of an electron in a magnetic field is

r = mv/qB

Putting this value in equation (i),

L = mv x mv/qB

or L = (mv)^2/qB

Putting the given values in the above equation,

4 x 10^-25 = (9.1x10^-31)^2 x v^2/ 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1 x 10^-3

v comes out to be 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.

Hence, the speed of an electron when it moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field is 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.

Nata [24]
Formula for potential energy is V=mgh, where m is mass in KG, g is earth acceleration (10 m/s^2), and h its height in meters. We know mass, acceleration is constant and also known, we know height also. Lets substitute
V=75*10*300=225000[J]=225[kJ] - its the answer

A coating is being applied to reduce the reflectivity of a pane of glass to light with a wavelength of 522 nm incident near the
fredd [130]

Answer:

  t = 94.91 nm

Explanation:

given,

wavelength of the light = 522 nm

refractive index of the material  = 1.375

we know the equation

       c = ν λ

where ν is the frequency of the wave

           c is the speed of light

   \nu= \dfrac{c}{\nu\lambda}

   \nu = \dfrac{3\times 10^8}{522 \times 10^{-9}}

       ν = 5.75 x 10¹⁴ Hz

the thickness of the coating will be calculated using

        t = \dfrac{\lambda}{4\mu_{material}}

        t = \dfrac{522 \times 10^{-9}}{4\times 1.375}

              t = 94.91 nm

the thickness of the coating will be equal to t = 94.91 nm
