Given

Weight of the block A, Wa = 20 lb, weight of block B Wb = 50 lb. Applied force to block A, P = 6lb, coefficient of static friction µs = 0.4, coefficient of kinetic friction µk = 0.3. If a force P is applied to the body, no relative motion will take place until the applied force is equal to the force of friction Ff, which is acting opposite to the direction of motion. Magnitude of static force of friction between block A and block B, Fs = µsN, where N is reaction force acting on block A. Now, resolve the forces Fx = max. P = (mA + mB)a,

 

6 = (20 / 32.2 + 50 / 32.2)a

 

2.173a = 6

 

A = 2.76 ft/s^2

 

To check slipping occurs between block A and block B, consider block A:

P – Ff = mAaA

6 – Ff = 1.71

Ff = 4.29 lb

 

And also,

N = wA. We know static friction,

Fs = µsN

Fs = 0.4 x 20

Fs = 8lb

Frictional force is less than static friction. Ff < Fs

<span>Therefors, acceleration of block A, aA = 2.76 ft/s^2, acceleration of block B aB = 2.76 ft/s^2</span>

Answer:

 a)    λ = 189.43 10⁻⁹ m  b)    λ = 269.19 10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

The diffraction network is described by the expression

      d sin θ= m λ

Where m corresponds to the diffraction order

Let's use trigonometry to find the breast

        tan θ = y / L

The diffraction spectrum is measured at very small angles, therefore

      tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

We replace

      d y / L = m λ

Let's place in the first order m = 1

Let's look for the separation of the lines (d)

     d = λ  L / y

     d = 501 10⁻⁹ 9.95 10⁻² / 15 10⁻²

     d = 332.33 10⁻⁹ m

Now we can look for the wavelength of the other line

     λ  = d y / L

    λ  = 332.33 10⁻⁹ 8.55 10⁻²/15 10⁻²

    λ = 189.43 10⁻⁹ m

Part B

The compound wavelength B

      λ  = 332.33 10⁻⁹ 12.15 10⁻² / 15 10⁻²

      λ = 269.19 10⁻⁹ m

How is it technically correct to say that a car making a u-turn can have a constant speed but cannot have a constant velocity?
saw5 [17]

During the "U" part of the turn, the car would follow an approximately circular path, and if it's moving at a constant speed, it would have to accelerate toward the center of the circle in order to change its direction.

Some homes that use baseboard heating use copper tubing. hot water runs through and heats the copper tubing, which in turn heats
AlekseyPX
When you heat a certain substance with a difference of temperature \Delta T the heat (energy) you must give to it is
E(=Q) =mc\Delta T
where c is the specific heat of that substance (given in J/(g*Celsius))
In this case
E=645*0.3850*(28.22-13.20) =3729.8 (Joule)

Observation: the specific heat of a substance is given in J/(g*Celsius) or J/(g*Kelvin)  because on the temperature scale a difference of 1 degree Celsius = 1 degree Kelvin
