A wooden block is sitting on an inclined plane near the bottom. The student gave the block a flick and it moved up the inclined

plane then stopped. It is expected that the block to start sliding back down the inclined plane but it did not. It just sat there near the top. What is your explanation why the block stopped and did not begin sliding again?

Answer:

The block didn't slide due to balancing of gravitational force with friction force

Explanation:

When the block was given a flick the force provided an acceleration to it and it moved up the inclined plane. when the block reached top it was expected that it would slide back but it didn't this happened because of the frictional force acting on the bottom the block which was balancing the gravitational force component along the plane and this prevented sliding back of the block.

static friction  was balancing mg*sin(theta)

fs = mg*sin(theta)

A miniature quadcopter is located at x = -2.25 m and y, - 5.70 matt - 0 and moves with an average velocity having components Vv,
kupik [55]

Recall that average velocity is equal to change in position over a given time interval,

\vec v_{\rm ave} = \dfrac{\Delta \vec r}{\Delta t}

so that the <em>x</em>-component of \vec v_{\rm ave} is

\dfrac{x_2 - (-2.25\,\mathrm m)}{1.60\,\mathrm s} = 2.70\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

and its <em>y</em>-component is

\dfrac{y_2 - 5.70\,\mathrm m}{1.60\,\mathrm s} = -2.50\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

Solve for x_2 and y_2, which are the <em>x</em>- and <em>y</em>-components of the copter's position vector after <em>t</em> = 1.60 s.

x_2 = -2.25\,\mathrm m + \left(2.70\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(1.60\,\mathrm s) \implies \boxed{x_2 = 2.07\,\mathrm m}

y_2 = 5.70\,\mathrm m + \left(-2.50\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(1.60\,\mathrm s) \implies \boxed{y_2 = 1.70\,\mathrm m}

Note that I'm reading the given details as

x_1 = -2.25\,\mathrm m \\\\ y_1 = -5.70\,\mathrm m \\\\ v_x = 2.70\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\\\\ v_y=-2.50\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

so if any of these are incorrect, you should make the appropriate adjustments to the work above.

What is one way you are using nonrenewable resources?
lutik1710 [3]

Putting gas in your car is one way you are using non-renewable resources.

You could Reduce, Recycle and Re-use items. You could manage what you do with you're water. Reducing and reusing products cuts down on manufacturing pollution, just as the use of recycled instead of virgin materials prevents pollution in industrial processes. You could add food coloring to your toilet tank. You could also do this: use sprinkler heads that sprinkle mist out instead of droplets of water.  to avoid losing water to evaporation.

Charge: A piece of plastic has a net charge of +2.00 μC. How many more protons than electrons does this piece of plastic have? (
snow_lady [41]

Answer

given,

net charge = +2.00 μC

we know,

1 coulomb charge =  6.28 x 10¹⁸electrons

1 micro coulomb  charge =  6.28 x 10¹⁸ x 10⁻⁶ electron

                                         = 6.28 x 10¹² electrons

2.00 μC = 2 x 6.28 x 10¹² electrons

              = 1.256 x 10¹³ electrons

since net charge is positive.

The number of protons should be 1.256 x 10¹³ more than electrons.

hence, +2.00 μC have 1.256 x 10¹³ more protons than electrons.
