. A 2.0-kg block is on a perfectly smooth ramp that makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. (a) What is the block’s accelerat

ion down the ramp and the force of the ramp on the block? (b) What force applied upward along and parallel to the ramp would allow the block to move with constant velocity?

Answer:

a) a = 4.9 m / s²,  N = 16.97 N   and b)   F = 9.8 N

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we will use Newton's second law, we write a reference system with the x axis parallel to the plane, see attached, in this system the only force we have to break down is weight, let's use trigonometry

        sin 30 = Wx / W

        cos 30 = Wy / W

        Wx = W sin30

        Wy = W cos 30

Let's write the equations on each axis

X axis

        Wx = ma

Y Axis  

       N- Wy = 0

       N = Wy = mg cos 30

       N = 2.0 9.8 cos 30

       N = 16.97 N

We calculate the acceleration

       a = Wx / m

       a = mg sin 30 / m

       a = g sin 30

       a =9.8 sin 30

       a = 4.9 m / s²

b) For the block to move with constant speed, the acceleration must be zero, so the force applied must be equal to the weight component

      F -Wx = 0

      F = Wx

      F = m g sin 30

      F = 2.0 9.8 sin 30

      F = 9.8 N

what is the percent efficiency of a light bulb that emits 14 joules of light for every 60 joules of electric energy thst enters
jasenka [17]
If you're using the bulb as a source of light, then it's. 14/60 = 23.3% efficient.
If you're using it to heat a bird nest or a hamster cage, then it's. 46/60 = 76.7% efficient !
It just depends on your point of view, and what you consider 'useful' output.

What is the wavelength that corresponds to a frequency of 6.00x1014 hz?
kipiarov [429]
The basic relationship between wavelength \lambda, frequency f and speed c of an electromagnetic wave is 
\lambda=  \frac{c}{f}
where c is the speed of light. Substituting numbers, we find:
\lambda=  \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{6.0 \cdot 10^{14} Hz}=5\cdot 10^{-7} m

an 11 kg tool box is floating stationary in an orbiting spacecraft when a 79 kg astronaut, initially at rest, gives the tool box
snow_tiger [21]

The astronaut final velocity is 0.06 m/s to the right

Explanation:

In absence of external forces, the total momentum of the box-astronaut system is conserved.

At the beginnig, the total momentum of the two is zero, since they are at rest:

p_i = 0

While the final momentum, after the astronaut throws the box, is:

p_f=mv+MV

where

m = 11 kg is the mass of the box

M = 79 kg is the mass of the astronaut

v = -0.45 m/s (to the left) is the velocity of the box (we take left as negative direction)

V is the final velocity of the astronaut

The total momentum is conserved, so

p_i = p_f\\0=mv+MV

And solving , we find V:

V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(11)(-0.45)}{79}=0.06 m/s

And the positive sign indicates that the direction is to the right.

Sound waves in air travel at approximately 330m/s. Calculate the frequency of a 2.5m-long sound wave.
dusya [7]
Frequency = speed ÷ wavelength
= 330m/s ÷ 2.5m
= 132 Hz
