Answer

mass of the block = 4.10 Kg

distance of slide = 2.1 m

angle of inclination = 30.0°

μ_k be equal to 0.436

a) Work done by the gravity

  W = \mu_k m g sin \theta \times d

  W =0.436 \times 4.1 \times 9.8 \times  sin 30^0 \times 2.1

  W =19.39\ J

b) Work done due to friction = \mu N L

                              =  -\mu m g cos \theta L

                              =  -0.436 \times 4.1 \times 9.8 \times cos 30^0 \times 2.1

                              = -31.86 J

c) work done by the normal force = 0 J

Since normal force and displacement are perpendicular to each other

d) for steeper angle

   sin θ value is high

   cos θ value is less

   work done by gravity on steeper angle is more

   work done by frictional force will on steeper angle is less

   work done by normal force is zero

There are a variety of waves from light waves to mechanical waves. Waves can exhibit different effects like the Doppler Effect.

All light waves behave in a similar manner. They either get  transmitted, reflected, absorbed, refracted, polarized, diffracted, or scattered based off of the composition of the object and the wavelength of the light.

According to Wikipedia, “One important property of mechanical waves is that their amplitudes are measured in an unusual way, displacement divided by (reduced) wavelength. When this gets comparable to unity, significant nonlinear effects such as harmonic generation may occur, and, if large enough, may result in chaotic effects.” Mechanical waves are chaotic and its “amplitudes” are measured unusually.

Diffraction is when light bends around objects and spread after passing out through small openings. “Diffraction occurs with all waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as light that the eye can see.”-Wikipedia. Here is the formula to Diffraction: <em>d </em>sin <em>θ </em>= <em>nλ</em>

Doppler effect can occur for any type of wave like sound or water waves. An example of this is when we hear a police car with its sirens on, coming towards us. The closer you are to the police car, the higher the wavelength, but the farther away you are, the lower the wavelength.

Amy is standing still on the ground; Bill is riding his bicycle at 5 m/s eastward; and Carlos is driving his car at 15 m/s westw
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

20 m/s westward

Explanation:

Taking eastward as positive direction, we have:

v_B = +5 m/s is the velocity of Bill with respect to Amy (which is stationary)

v_C = -15 m/s is the velocity of Carlos with respect to Amy

Bill is moving 5 m/s eastward compared to Amy at rest, so the velocity of Bill's reference frame is

v_B = +5 m/s

Therefore, Carlos velocity in Bill's reference frame will be

v_C' = v_C - v_B = -15 m/s - (+5 m/s) = -20 m/s

and the direction will be westward (negative sign).

A CD has to rotate under the readout-laser with a constant linear velocity of 1.25 m/s. If the laser is at a position 3.7 cm fro
Savatey [412]

Answer:N=322.53 rpm

Explanation:

Given

Linear velocity (v)=1.25 m/s

Position from center is 3.7 cm

we know

v=\omega \times r

1.25\times 100=\omega \times 3.7

\omega =\frac{125}{3.7}=33.78

and \frac{2\pi N}{60}=\omega

N=\frac{\omega \times 60}{2\pi }

N=\frac{33.78\times 60}{2\pi }

N=322.53 rpm

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

the stars which are red in color are cool.

Explanation:

The stars which has reddish color are cool in nature while those stars which has white and blue in color are very hot in nature. The stars change its color when they becomes hotter , first the star color reddish when they are cool but with increasing temperature it changes the color from reddish to orange then yellow. After yellow it turns green and finally get blue color when the stars are very very hot.
