An object travels down a ramp at a constant acceleration. The object experiences a force of friction and a gravitational force.

Which of the following could be true about the motion of the object?
a. The force of friction acts in the same direction as the object travels.
b. The force of friction between the surface and the object is less than the component of the gravitational force that is parallel to the ramp.
c. If the object increased in mass, the object's acceleration would change.
d. If the object increased in mass, the normal force exerted on the object would remain the same.

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

An object travels down a ramp at a constant acceleration.

Friction force and the gravitational force is there.

(a). It is false. As the friction acts in the opposite direction of motion of the object.

(b). It is true. As the object moves down the ramp so the force of friction is less the component of gravitational force along the ramp.

(c). It is false. the acceleration does not depends on the mass.

a = g sin A - u g cos A

where, A is the angle of inclination and u is the coefficient of friction.

(d). It is false. The normal force is given by

N = m g cos A

so it depends on the mass.

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 53.0 cm . The explorer finds that
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

12.4 m/s²

Explanation:

L = length of the simple pendulum = 53 cm = 0.53 m

n = Number of full swing cycles = 99.0

t = Total time taken = 128 s

T = Time period of the pendulum

g = magnitude of gravitational acceleration on the planet

Time period of the pendulum is given as

T = \frac{t}{n}

T = \frac{128}{99}

T = 1.3 sec

Time period of the pendulum is also given as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

1.3 = 2(3.14) \sqrt{\frac{0.53}{g}}

g = 12.4 m/s²

How do two objects at different temperatures attain thermal equilibrium?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

C.As the two objects touch, thermal energy flows as heat from the warmer block to the colder block until particles in both blocks move at the same rate and reach the same temperature.

Explanation:

Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from an object at higher temperature to an object at colder temperature.

The temperature of an object is a measure of how fast the particles in the object move: the higher its temperature, the faster the particles move, the higher the average kinetic energy of the particles in the object. As a result, the particles of the object at higher temperature tend to transfer more energy (called thermal energy) to the particles of the object at colder temperature by colliding with them: this process continues until the particles of the colder object reach the same average kinetic energy as the particles of the warmer object, and this means that the two objects have reached the same temperature.

The lasers are red, meaning that they are giving off light in the _____ region of the electromagnetic spectrum
Softa [21]

As per the question the color of laser light is given as red.

If we arrange all the electromagnetic waves in the decreasing order of frequency ,then the electromagnetic spectrum contains gamma ray as the first which is followed by all other electromagnetic waves according to their frequency.

The visible light ranges from 400 nm to 700 nm which contains sunlight i.e white colors with it's constituent colors starting from violet to red. The red color is the longest wavelength part of the visible region.

The wavelength of visible light is longer than ultraviolet wave but smaller than infrared radiation. Except the bisible region,the color of radiation is invisible to eye.


As per the question the color of emiited laser radiation is red .Hence it must lie in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

As light from a star spreads out and weakens, do gaps form between the photons?<br>​
Zolol [24]

Answer:

There are no gaps in space between the photons as they travel. If you were to look at a wave then you'd come  to a conclusion that indeed that there aren't any gaps unless they are specifically placed.The light from a distance star indeed spreads out and weakens as it travels, but this just reduces the wave strength and does not introduce gaps.

John says that the value of the function cos[ω(t + T) + ϕ], obtained one period T after time t, is greater than cos(ωt + ϕ) by 2
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

No one is right

Explanation:

John Case:

The function cos(\omega t +\phi) is defined between -1 and 1, So it is not possible obtain a value 2\pi greater.  

In addition, if you  move the function cosine a T Value, and T is the Period,  the function take the same value due to the cosine is a periodic function.

Larry case:

Is you have f=1+cos(\omega t +\phi), the domain of this is [0,2].

it is equivalent to adding 1 to the domain of the f=1+cos(\omega t +\phi), and its mean that the function f=cos(\omega t +\phi), in general, is not greater than cos(\omega t +\phi).
