A block is at rest on the incline shown in the gure. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.6 and 0.51, respec- t

Normal reaction force on the block while it is at rest on the inclined plane is given as

F_n = mgcos\theta

here we know that

m = 46 kg

\theta = 29^o

now we will have

F_n = 46*9.8*cos29 = 394.3 N

now the limiting friction or maximum value of static friction on the block will be given as

F_s = \mu_s * F_n

F_s = 0.6 * 394.3 = 236.56 N

Above value is the maximum value of force at which block will not slide

Now the weight of the block which is parallel to inclined plane is given as

F_{||} = mg sin\theta

here we know that

F_{||} = 46*9.8 sin29 = 218.55 N

Now since the weight of the block here is less than the value of limiting friction force and also the block is at rest then the frictional force on the block is static friction and it will just counter balance the weight of the block along the inclined plane.

So here <u>friction force on the given block will be same as its component on weight which is 218.55 N</u>

On a straight road with the +x axis chosen to point in the direction of motion, you drive for 5 hours at a constant 20 miles per
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

v = 26.7 mph

Explanation:

During the first 5 hours, at a constant speed of 20 mph, we find the total displacement to be as follows:

Δx₁ = v₁*t₁ = 20 mph*5 h = 100 mi

Assuming we can neglect the displacement during the speeding up from 20 to 60 mph, we can find the the total displacement at 60 mph as follows:

Δx₂ = v₂*t₂ = 60 mph*1 h = 60 mi

So, the total displacement during all the trip wil be:

Δx = Δx₁ + Δx₂ = 100 mi + 60 mi = 160 mi

So we can find the the average velocity during the 6-hour period, applying the definition of average velocity, as follows:

v = Δx / Δt = 160 mi / 6 h = 26.7 mph

cluponka [151]

Answer:

26.822 m/s

Explanation:

60 mi/hr  *  5280 ft/mile *  1 hr / 3600 sec  *  12 in / foot * 1 meter / 39.37 in = <u>26.822 m/s</u>

Think of it this way if 2 same weight and same speed objects were racing toward each other perfectly straight then their forces will cancel out and the movement afterwords will be 0

What happens when the density of a medium increases
Anvisha [2.4K]
We all know that the sound travels faster through solids and then liquids and then through gases.
As far as i know solids are the medium through which the sound travels fast.

But in some websites I saw that as the density increases , the velocity of the sound decreases.If this statement is correct , how come the sound travels fastest through solids (since they have higher density) 

From this it is clear that not only sound as compression wave But also in the form of Shear wave travels in Solids

This makes it easier for sound to travel with higher speed in solids

A.) Determine the work done by Zach on the bull.
Lana71 [14]

Explanation:

Work done is a physical quantity that is defined as the force applied to move a body through a particular distance.

Work is only done when the force applied moves a body through a distance.

    Work done  = Force x distance

The maximum work is done when the force is parallel to the distance direction.

The minimum work is done when the force is at an angle of 90° to the distance direction.

 So to solve this problem;

 multiply the force applied by Zack and distance through which the bull was pulled.
