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)

babunello [35]

She does 200J .

We know she uses 20N of force and 10m is the distance. We multiply both numbers and we are given our answer of 200J. Hope this was helpful. :)

A stone is dropped into a river from a bridge at a height h above the water. Another stone is thrown vertically down at a time t
Mumz [18]

Answer:

v_{y_0} = \frac{\frac{g}{2}t(t - 2\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t}

Explanation:

We will apply the equations of kinematics to both stones separately.

First stone:

Let us denote the time spent after the second stone is thrown as 'T'.

y - y_0 = v_{y_0}(t+T) + \frac{1}{2}a(t+T)^2\\0 - h = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(-g)(t+T)^2\\(t+T)^2 = \frac{2h}{g}\\T = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}-t

Second stone:

y - y_0 = v_{y_0}T + \frac{1}{2}aT^2\\0 - h = v_{y_0}T -\frac{1}{2}gT^2\\-h = v_{y_0}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t) - \frac{g}{2}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t)^2\\-h = v_{y_0}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t) - \frac{g}{2}(\frac{2h}{g} + t^2 - 2t\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})\\-h = v_{y_0}\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - v_{y_0}t - h -\frac{g}{2}t^2 + gt\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\v_{y_0}(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t) = \frac{g}{2}t^2 - gt\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\v_{y_0} = \frac{\frac{g}{2}t(t - 2\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} - t}

What are the units for speed
nexus9112 [7]
Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is themetre<span> per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per </span>hour<span> or, in the US and the UK, miles per </span>hour<span>. For air and marine travel the knot is commonly used.</span>

The Pony Express
Chapter 1
At A Nation's Crisis
The Pony Express was the first rapid transit and the first fost mail line across the continent from the Missouri River to the Pacific Coast. It was a system
by means of which messages were carried swiftly on horseback across the plains and deserts, and over the mountains of the far West It brought the
Adontic coost and the Pacific slope ten days nearer to each other.
It had a brief existence of only sixteen months and was supplanted by the transcontinental telegraph. Yet it was of the greatest importance in
binding the East and West together at a time when overland travel was slow and cumbersome, and when a great national crisis made the rapid
communication of news between these sections an imperative necessity.
The Pony Express marked the highest development in overland travel prior to the coming of the Pacific railroad, which it preceded nine years.
It, in fact, proved the feasibility of a transcontinental road and demonstrated that such a line could be built and operated continuously the year
around-a feat that had always been regarded as impossible.
The operation of the Pony Express was a supreme achievement of physical endurance on the part of man and his ever faithful companion, the
horse. The history of this organization should be a lasting monument to the physical sacrifice of man and beast in an effort to accomplish
something worthwhile. Its history should be an enduring tribute to American courage and American organizing genius.
