<u>Answer:</u>

Option (a)

<u>Explanation :</u>

A stage hand starts sliding a large piece of stage scenery originally at rest by pulling it horizontally with a force of 176 N.

Hence Force applied  \text { Fapplied }=176 \mathrm{N}

Force on piece of scenery \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{g}}=490 \mathrm{N}

\Sigma \mathrm{F} \mathrm{y}=\mathrm{F} \mathrm{n}-\mathrm{Fg}=0

\mathrm{Fn}=\mathrm{Fg}

\mathrm{FS}_{\mathrm{max}}=\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{applied}}

µk = \frac{\mathrm{Fs} \max }{\mathrm{Fn}}

=  \frac{\text { Fapplied }}{\mathrm{Fg}}

=\frac{176}{490} =0.36

coefficient of static friction is 0.36

Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling are called
Nikolay [14]

1. a. longitudinal waves.

There are two types of waves:

- Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the oscillations of the wave occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave

- Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the oscillations of the waves occur parallel to the direction in which the waves are travelling.

So, these types of waves are called longitudinal waves.


2. d. a medium

There are two types of waves:

- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field, and they can travel both in a medium and also in a vacuum (they do not need a medium to propagate)

- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, so they need a medium to propagate - therefore, the correct choice is d. a medium


3. a. AM/FM radio

Analogue signals consist of continuous signals, which vary in a continuous range of values. On the contrary, digital signals consist of discrete signals, which can assume only some discrete values. For AM and FM radios, signals are transmitted by using analogue signals.

An aerobatic airplane pilot experiences weightlessness as she passes over the top of a loop-the-loop maneuver. The acceleration
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The radius of the loop is  20.66 km

Explanation:

let the radius of the loop be r

mass of airplane is m

At the top, the pilot experiences two radial forces, which are

1) Gravitational force is  mg

2) Centrifugal forces mv²/r out of the center

When the pilot experiences no weight,

then, mg = mv²/r

r = v² / g

 = 450² / 9.8

 = 20.66 x 10³3

 = 20.66 km

A plastic box has an initial volume of 2.00 m 3 . It is then submerged below the surface of a liquid and its volume decreases to
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Volume strain is 0.02

Explanation:

Volume strain is defined as the change in volume to the original volume.

It is given that,

Initial volume of the plastic box is 2 m³

It is then submerged below the surface of a liquid and its volume decreases to 1.96 m³

We need to find the volume strain on the box. It is defined as the change in volume divided by the original volume. So,

\delta V=\dfrac{V_f-V_i}{V_i}\\\\\delta V=\dfrac{1.96-2}{2}\\\\\delta V=0.02

So, the volume strain on the box is 0.02.

A convex security mirror has a radius of curvature of 12.0 cm. What is the magnification of a pare 3.0 m from the mirror?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

magnification will be -0.025

Explanation:

We have given the radius of curvature = 12 cm

And object distance = 3 m

So focal length f=\frac{R}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6cm

Now for mirror we know that \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}

So \frac{1}{0.06}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{v}

16.66-0.333=\frac{1}{v}

v = 0.750 m

Now magnification of the mirror is m=\frac{-v}{u}=\frac{-0.750}{3}=-0.025
