A long ramp made of cast iron is sloped at a constant angle θ = 52.0∘ above the horizontal. Small blocks, each with mass 0.42 kg

but made of different materials, are released from rest at a vertical height h above the bottom of the ramp. In each case the coefficient of static friction is small enough that the blocks start to slide down the ramp as soon as they are released. You are asked to find h so that each block will have a speed of 4.00 m/s when it reaches the bottom of the ramp. You are given these coefficients of sliding (kinetic) friction for different pairs of materials.
Material 1 Material 2 Coefficient of Sliding Friction
Cast iron Cast iron 0.15
Cast iron Copper 0.29
Cast iron Lead 0.43
Cast iron Zinc 0.85

Answer:

For cast iron we have

h = 0.92 m

For copper

h = 1.05 m

For Lead

h = 1.23 m

For Zinc

h = 2.43 m

Explanation:

As we know that final speed of the block is calculated by work energy theorem

W_f + W_g = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

-\mu_k mg cos\theta(\frac{h}{sin\theta}) + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

v^2 = 2gh - 2\mu_k g h cot\theta

v = \sqrt{2gh(1 - \mu_k cot\theta)}

For cast iron we have

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.15cot52)}

h = 0.92 m

For copper

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.29cot52)}

h = 1.05 m

For Lead

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.43cot52)}

h = 1.23 m

For Zinc

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.85cot52)}

h = 2.43 m

What is the range of wavelengths that our eyes can see on the spectrum(this is called visible light spectrum)
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

380 to 700 nanometers

Explanation:

The visible light spectrum is the segment of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can view. More simply, this range of wavelengths is called visible light. Typically, the human eye can detect wavelengths from 380 to 700 nanometers.

This equation is known as the ideal gas law, and it can be used to predict the behavior of many gases at relatively low pressure
Masja [62]
The correct answer is 
<span>C) either the pressure of the gas, the volume of the gas, or both, will increase.

In fact, the ideal gas law can be written as
</span>pV=nRT
<span>where 
p is the gas pressure
V is its volume
n is the number of moles
R is the gas constant
T is the absolute temperature of the gas

We can see that if the temperature T increases, then the term on the right in the equation increases, therefore the term on the left should increase as well. In order for this to be possible, at least one between p and V should increase, or also both of them. Therefore, the correct answer is C.</span>

How to solve for time given distance and velocity
Virty [35]

Answer:

Well, I think you're talking about kinematics, especially uniform rectilinear motion. We know that there is a specific equation for that:

S = Vt + S0

With S being the distance, V the velocity, t the time and S0 the initial distance (initial displacement).

From this you can calculate t, if that's what you want.
