How is friction reduced between an air hockey puck and the table.

Physics
1 answer:
iren2701 [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

An air hockey table has a very smooth and slippery surface which reduces friction by suspending the puck on cushion of air, so that this its motion is much less altered by friction, causing it to glide in a straight line at relatively constant velocity across the table.

An ore car of mass 39000 kg starts from rest and rolls downhill on tracks from a mine. At the end of the tracks, 19 m lower vert
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The compression in the spring is 5.88 meters.                

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the car, m = 39000 kg

Height of the car, h = 19 m

Spring constant of the spring, k=4.2\times 10^5\ N/m

We need to find the compression in the spring in stopping the ore car. It can be done by balancing loss in gravitational potential energy and the increase in elastic energy. So,

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

x is the compression in spring

x=\sqrt{\dfrac{2mgh}{k}} \\\\x=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 39000\times 19\times 9.8}{4.2\times 10^5}} \\\\x=5.88\ m

So, the compression in the spring is 5.88 meters.

When performing the spike the ball should be hit with the ?
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

When you are performing spike it's most effective to strike the ball from the right or left side at a sharp downward angle. Whether you are spiking the ball from the right or left front position, position yourself behind the 10-foot line (attack line), which is the line that is about four steps away from the net.

Using Rayleigh's criterion, what is the smallest separation between two pointlike objects that a person could clearly resolve at
atroni [7]

 Answer:

y = 52.44 10⁻⁶  m

Explanation:

It is Rayleigh's principle that two points are resolved if the maximum of the diffraction pattern of one matches the minimum the diffraction pattern of the other

Based on this principle we must find the angle of the first minimum of the diffraction expression

         a sin θ= m λ

The first minimum occurs for m = 1

       sin θ =  λ  / a

Now let's use trigonometry the object is a distance L = 0.205 m

        tan θ = y / L

Since the angles are very small, let's approximate

        tan θ = sin θ/cos θ = sin  θ

        sin θ = y / L

We substitute in the diffraction equation

         y / L =  λ  / a

         y =  λ  L / a

Let's calculate

        y = 550 10⁻⁹ 0.205 / 2.15 10⁻³

        y = 52.44 10⁻⁶ m
