An object with a mass M = 250 g is at rest on a plane that makes an angle θ = 30 o above the horizontal. The coefficient of kine
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

v = 79.2 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the object, m = 250 g = 0.250 kg

Angle, \theta = 30^{\circ}

Coefficient of kinetic friction, \mu_{k} = 0.100

Mass attached to the string, m = 0.200 kg

Distance, d = 30 cm = 0.03 m

Now,

The tension in the string is given by:

Mgsin\theta + \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta + Ma = T        (1)

Also

T = m(g + a)

Thus eqn (1) can be written as:

Mgsin\theta + \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta + Ma = m(g - a)

Mgsin\theta + \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta + Ma = mg + ma

mg - Mgsin\theta - \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta = (M - m)a

a = \frac{0.2\times 9.8 - 0.250\times 9.8\times sin30^{\circ} - 0.1\times 0.250\times 9.8\times cos30^{\circ}}{0.250 - 0.200}

a = 10.45\ m/s^{2}

Now, the speed is given by the third eqn of motion with initial velocity being zero:

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2ad

where

u = initial velocity = 0

Thus

v = \sqrt{2ad}

v = \sqrt{2\times 10.45\times 0.03} = 0.792\ m/s

The time taken for an object to fall from a height of h m from the earth'fs surface is t s.
telo118 [61]

Answer:

B. Longer than t s,

Explanation:

Gravitational accln on earth is 9.8 m/s^2,

and one you provided as on moon is 1.6 m/s^2

that mean on moon gr. accl. is lesser!

now the time taken on earth will be lesser cuz from the same height if you drop the object from rest!

since accln on earth is higher,the object will attain higher velocity as compare to that of on moon!

A meteor is
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

A meteor is  B) an icy body with a long tail extending from it.

Explanation:

Meteors are very small dust particles that, when penetrating into the Earth's atmosphere, burn quickly by rubbing with the gases of the same. Some meteors, those with larger dimensions and appreciable weights, are brighter and can describe longer trajectories, showing longer.

In other words, the meteoroids, celestial bodies can vary in size between 100 micrometers up to 50 meters, they collide with the atmosphere of our planet and if the particles are of a small size, upon impact they enter combustion creating a flash, is what we know as meteor or shooting star. Therefore, the meteor is a luminous phenomenon that leaves behind a persistent trail.

So, <u><em>a meteor is  B) an icy body with a long tail extending from it.</em></u>
