Answer:

tan \theta = \mu_s

Explanation:

An object is at rest along a slope if the net force acting on it is zero. The equation of the forces along the direction parallel to the slope is:

mg sin \theta - \mu_s R =0 (1)

where

mg sin \theta is the component of the weight parallel to the slope, with m being the mass of the object, g the acceleration of gravity, \theta the angle of the slope

\mu_s R is the frictional force, with \mu_s being the coefficient of friction and R the normal reaction of the incline

The equation of the forces along the direction perpendicular to the slope is

R-mg cos \theta = 0

where

R is the normal reaction

mg cos \theta is the component of the weight perpendicular to the slope

Solving for R,

R=mg cos \theta

And substituting into (1)

mg sin \theta - \mu_s mg cos \theta = 0

Re-arranging the equation,

sin \theta = \mu_s cos \theta\\\rightarrow tan \theta = \mu_s

This the condition at which the equilibrium holds: when the tangent of the angle becomes larger than the value of \mu_s, the force of friction is no longer able to balance the component of the weight parallel to the slope, and so the object starts sliding down.

If the energies sound in the device is microphone what is the energy out
Katen [24]

Answer:

Microphones are a type of transducer - a device which converts energy from one form to another. Microphones convert acoustical energy (sound waves) into electrical energy (the audio signal). Different types of microphone have different ways of converting energy but they all share one thing in common: The diaphragm.

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their breeding grounds. Starting downstream, 3.04 m away from a waterfall 0.585 m in heigh
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

V₀ = 5.47 m/s

Explanation:

The jumping motion of the Salmon can be modelled as the projectile motion. So, we use the formula for the range of projectile motion here:

R = V₀² Sin 2θ/g

where,

R = Range of Projectile = 3.04 m

θ = Launch Angle = 41.7°

V₀ = Minimum Launch Speed = ?

g = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

3.04 m = V₀² [Sin2(41.7°)]/(9.81 m/s²)

V₀² = 3.04 m/(0.10126 s²/m)

V₀ = √30.02 m²/s²

<u>V₀ = 5.47 m/s</u>
