. 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

Coherent light of wavelength 540 nm passes through a pair of thin slits that are 3.4 × 10-5 m apart. At what angle away from the

Scrat [10]

Answer: $1.8\°$

Explanation:

The diffraction angles $\theta_{n}$ when we have a slit divided into $n$ parts are obtained by the following equation:

$dsin\theta_{n}=n\lambda$ (1)

Where:

$d=3.4(10)^{-5}m$ is the width of the slit

$\lambda=540 nm=540(10)^{-9}m$ is the wavelength of the light

$n$ is an integer different from zero.

Now, the second-order diffraction angle is given when $n=2$ , hence equation (1) becomes:

$dsin\theta_{2}=2\lambda$ (2)

Now we have to find the value of $\theta_{2}$ :

$sin\theta_{2}=\frac{2\lambda}{d}$ (3)

Then:

$\theta_{2}=arcsin(\frac{2\lambda}{d})$ (4)

$\theta_{2}=arcsin(\frac{2(540(10)^{-9}m)}{3.4(10)^{-5}m})$ (5)

Finally:

$\theta_{2}=1.8\°$ (6)

During a braking test, a car is brought to rest beginning from an initial speed of 60 mi/hr in a distance of 120 ft. With the sa

maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial speed $u=60\ mi/hr\approx 88\ ft/s$

distance traveled before coming to rest $d_1=120\ ft$

using equation of motion

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

$0-(88)^2=2\times a\times 120---1$

for $u_2=80\ mi/hr\approx 117.33\ ft/s$

using same relation we get

$0-(117.33)^2=2\times a\times (d_2)----2$

divide 1 and 2 we get

$(\frac{88}{117.33})^2=\frac{120}{d_2}$

$d_2=213.32\ ft$

So a distance if 213.32 ft is required to stop the vehicle with 80 mph speed

The sun rotates once in 25.05 days. That is 601.2 hours. so the sun's rotational speed is 0.0017 rotations per hour. what is the

Margaret [11]

Answer:

$v=2019.09\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

time taken by the sun to complete one revolution, $t=601.2\ hr$

radial distance of the sunspot, $r=6.955\times 10^8\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>Therefore, angular speed of rotation of sun:</u>

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{601.2\times 3600} \ rad.s^{-1}$

<u>Now the tangential velocity of the sunspot can be given by:</u>

$v=r.\omega$

$v=6.955\times 10^8\times \frac{2\pi}{601.2\times 3600}$

$v=2019.09\ m.s^{-1}$
