Given that,

bug speed, v= 0.85 m/s

time, t =42 s

Final position of bug on meter stick was 27 cm

Starting position of bug on meter stick = ?

Since we know that,

s = vt

s= 0.85*42 = 35.7 cm

this is the distance covered by bug in the given time and velocity.

since the bug is moving in negative direction, starting point will be:

27.0 cm+ 35.7 cm = 62.7 cm

The bugs starting position on meter stick was 62.7 cm.

The box shown on the rough ramp above is sliding up the ramp.calculate the force of friction on the box
Anna [14]

We are given a box that slides up a ramp. To determine the force of friction we will use the following relationship:

F_f=\mu N

Where.

\begin{gathered} N=\text{ normal force} \\ \mu=\text{ coefficient of friction} \end{gathered}

To determine the Normal force we will add the forces in the direction perpendicular to the ramp, we will call this direction the y-direction as shown in the following diagram:

In the diagram we have:

\begin{gathered} m=\text{ mass}_{} \\ g=\text{ acceleration of gravity} \\ mg=\text{ weight} \\ mg_y=y-\text{component of the weight. } \end{gathered}

Adding the forces in the y-direction we get:

\Sigma F_y=N-mg_y

Since there is no movement in the y-direction the sum of forces must be equal to zero:

N-mg_y=0

Now we solve for the normal force:

N=mg_y

To determine the y-component of the weight we will use the trigonometric function cosine:

\cos 40=\frac{mg_y}{mg}

Now we multiply both sides by "mg":

mg\cos 40=mg_y

Now we substitute this value in the expression for the normal force:

N=mg\cos 40

Now we substitute this in the expression for the friction force:

F_f=\mu mg\cos 40

Now we substitute the given values:

F_f=(0.2)(10\operatorname{kg})(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\cos 40

Solving the operations:

F_f=15.01N

Therefore, the force of friction is 15.01 Newtons.

Explain, step by step, how to calculate the amount of current (I) that will go through the resistor in this circuit
anygoal [31]

Answer:

0.03 A

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Resistor (R) = 470 Ω

Current (I) =?

From ohm's law, the voltage, current and resistor are related by the following formula:

Voltage = current × resistor

V = IR

With the above formula, we can obtain the current in the circuit as follow:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Resistor (R) = 470 Ω

Current (I) =?

V = IR

12 = I × 470

Divide both side by 470

I = 12 / 470

I = 0.03 A

Thus, the current in the circuit is 0.03 A

The mass of block B is twice the mass of block A, while the mass of the pulley is equal to the mass of block A. The blocks are l
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

C)the right cord pulls on the pulley with greater force than the left cord

Explanation:

As we can see the figure that B is connected to the right string while A is connected to the left string

Now force equation for B as it will move downwards is given as

(2m)g - T_B = (2m)a

similarly for block A which will move upwards we can write the equation as

T_A - mg = ma

now we know that pulley is also rotating so the tangential acceleration of the rope at the contact point with pulley must be same as that of acceleration of the blocks

so here pulley will rotate clockwise direction

So tension in the right string must be more than the left string

So correct answer will be

C)the right cord pulls on the pulley with greater force than the left cord
