The double inclined plane supports two blocks A and B, each having a weight of 10 lb. If the coefficient of kinetic friction bet

ween the blocks and the plane is 0.1, determine the acceleration of each block. (The blocks are connected to each other by a string and pulley system so their accelerations are equal, block on the left is on an incline of 60 degrees and the block on the right is on an incline of 30 degrees.)

Answer:

Explanation:

Left block is on surface with higher inclination so it will go down . If T be tension

For motion of block A ,

net force = mgsin60 - (T + mg cos 60 x μ ) , μ is coefficient of friction .

ma =  mgsin60 - T -  mg cos 60 x .1

10a = 277.13  - T - 16

= 261.13 - T

T = 261.13 - 10a

For motion of block B

T - mg sin30 - mgcos30 x μ = ma

T- 160 - 27.71 = 10 a

261.13 - 10a - 160 - 27.71 = 10a

73.42 = 20a

a = 3.67 ft / s²

common acceleration = 3.67 ft / s²

A skateboarder has an acceleration of −1.9 m/s2. If her initial speed is 6 m/s, how long does it take her to stop?
SSSSS [86.1K]
You said that she's losing 1.9 m/s of her speed every second.

So it'll take

             (6 m/s) / (1.9 m/s²)  =  3.158 seconds  (rounded)

to lose all of her initial speed, and stop.

Determine the amount of work done by the applied force when a 87 N force is applied to move a 15 kg object a horizontal
elena-s [515]

Answer:

391.5 J

Explanation:

The amount of work done can be calculated using the formula:

  • W = F║d
  • where the force is parallel to the displacement

Looking at the formula, we can see that the mass of the object does not affect the work done on it.

Substitute the force applied and the displacement of the object into the equation.

  • W = (87 N)(4.5 m)
  • W = 391.5 J  

The amount of work done on the object is 391.5 J in order to move it 4.5 meters with an applied force of 87 Newtons.

A red laser from a physics lab is marked as producing 632.8 nm light. When light from this laser falls on two closely spaced sli
goblinko [34]

Given Information:  

Wavelength of the red laser = λr = 632.8 nm

Distance between bright fringes due to red laser = yr = 5 mm

Distance between bright fringes due to laser pointer = yp = 5.14 mm

Required Information:  

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Answer:

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Explanation:

The wavelength of the monochromatic light can be found using young's double slits formula,

y = Dλ/d  

y/λ = D/d

Where

λ is the wavelength

y is the distance between bright fringes.

d is the double slit separation distance

D is the distance from the slits to the screen

For the red laser,

yr/λr = D/d

For the laser pointer,

yp/λp = D/d

Equating both equations yields,

yr/λr = yp/λp

Re-arrange for λp

λp = yp*λr/yr

λp =  (5*632.8)/5.14

λp = 615.56 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the small laser pointer is 615.56 nm.

1. The picture below shows Jamal pushing with a 100-Newton (N) force on a large box. Neither
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

100 newtons

Explanation:

Given,

Jamal pushing a large box by a force, F = 100 N

Work done on the large box is, W = 0

It is because the applied force is less than the force of the friction between the two surfaces.

Yet, there will be a force that is exerted by the large box on Jamal.

According to newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The reaction force is in the direction opposite to the force of action. But, their magnitude remains the same.

                                        F_{a} =-F_{r}

Hence, If the action force is 100 N, then the reaction force should be in 100 N
