Answer:

a) μs=0.34

b) μk=0.27

Explanation:

Given that

Mass , m = 21 kg

Force required to move the block ,F= 73 N

The force required to keep the block in motion ,F ' = 58 N

Coefficient of the static friction :

The maximum value of the static friction force

fr= μs m g

At rest position

F= fr

73 = μs x 21 x 10 (take g= 10 m/s²)

$\mu_s=\dfrac{73}{210}$

μs=0.34

Therefore the Coefficient of the static friction will be 0.34.

Coefficient of the kinetic friction ;

Value of the kinetic friction force ,fr= μk m g

F' = Fr

To move the block at constant speed

58 = μs x 21 x 10 (take g= 10 m/s²)

$\mu_k=\dfrac{58}{210}$

μk=0.27

Therefore the Coefficient of the static friction will be 0.27.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! You draw an arrow from left to right on a piece of paper and place the paper well behind a glass of water. Y

Answer:

I think it is the first one: <u>The arrow appears reversed because light is bent as it enters the water, and again as it exits. The two light paths cross, making the direction of the arrow appear crossed.</u>

An interference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength 550 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel s

ad-work [718]

Answer:

a

$\theta = 0.0022 rad$

b

$I = 0.000304 I_o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength of the light is $\lambda = 550 \ nm = 550 *10^{-9} \ m$

The distance of the slit separation is $d = 0.500 \ mm = 5.0 *10^{-4} \ m$

Generally the condition for two slit interference is

$dsin \theta = m \lambda$

Where m is the order which is given from the question as m = 2

=> $\theta = sin ^{-1} [\frac{m \lambda}{d} ]$

substituting values

$\theta = 0.0022 rad$

Now on the second question

The distance of separation of the slit is

$d = 0.300 \ mm = 3.0 *10^{-4} \ m$

The intensity at the the angular position in part "a" is mathematically evaluated as

$I = I_o [\frac{sin \beta}{\beta} ]^2$

Where $\beta$ is mathematically evaluated as

$\beta = \frac{\pi * d * sin(\theta )}{\lambda }$

substituting values

$\beta = \frac{3.142 * 3*10^{-4} * sin(0.0022 )}{550 *10^{-9} }$

$\beta = 0.06581$

So the intensity is

$I = I_o [\frac{sin (0.06581)}{0.06581} ]^2$

$I = 0.000304 I_o$

Suppose you increase your walking speed from 7 m/s to 15 m/s in a period of 2 m. What is your acceleration?

likoan [24]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (end speed) - (start speed) = (15 m/s - 7 m/s) = 8 m/s

time for the change = 2 minutes = 120 seconds

Acceleration = (8 m/s) / (120 seconds)

Acceleration = 0.067 m/s²

A 45.2-kg person is on a barrel ride at an amusement park. She stands on a platform with her back to the barrel wall. The 3.74-m

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

<u><em>1,230N</em></u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Name of the variables:</u>

$f:frequency\\\\ \omega:angular\text{ }speed\\\\ a_c:centripetal\text{ }acceleration\\\\ F_c:centripetal\text{ }force\\ \\ m:mass\\ \\ d:diameter\\ \\ r:radius\\ \\ g:gravitational\text{ }acceleration$

<u>2. Formulae:</u>

$f=\dfrac{number\text{ }of\text{ }revolutions}{time}$

$\omega=2\pi f$

$a_c=\omega^2 r$

$F_c=m\times a_c$

<u>3. Solution (calculations)</u>

$f=\dfrac{1}{1.65s}=0.\overline{60}s^{-1}$

$\omega=2\pi\times0.\overline{60}\approx 3.808rad/s$

$a_c=(3.808rad/s)^2\times (3.74/2m)=27.12m/s^2$

$F_c=45.2kg\times27.12m/s^2=1,225.67N\approx 1,230N$

What determines velocity rather than speed??

Stella [2.4K]

Velocity - <span><span>the speed of something in a given direction
Speed - </span></span><span>rapidity in moving, going, traveling, proceeding, or performing; swiftness; <span>celerity
Velocity is the speed in a certain direction, whereas speed is just the rate of fastness.
Does that make sense?
