Answer:

5.94\ \text{m/s}

1.7

0.577

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

\theta = Angle of slope = 30^{\circ}

v = Velocity of child at the bottom of the slide

\mu_k = Coefficient of kinetic friction

\mu_s = Coefficient of static friction

h = Height of slope = 1.8 m

The energy balance of the system is given by

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 1.8}\\\Rightarrow v=5.94\ \text{m/s}

The speed of the child at the bottom of the slide is 5.94\ \text{m/s}

Length of the slide is given by

l=h\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow l=1.8\sin30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow l=0.9\ \text{m}

v=\dfrac{1}{2}\times5.94\\\Rightarrow v=2.97\ \text{m/s}

The force energy balance of the system is given by

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\mu_kmg\cos\theta l\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\dfrac{gh-\dfrac{1}{2}v^2}{gl\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\dfrac{9.81\times 1.8-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.97^2}{9.81\times 0.9\cos30^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=1.73

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 1.7.

For static friction

\mu_s\geq\tan30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s\geq0.577

So, the minimum possible value for the coefficient of static friction is 0.577.

Calculate the wavelengths of the first five emission lines of the Balmer series for hydrogen
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Balmer series in a hydrogen atom relates the possible electron transitions down to the n = 2 position to the wavelength of the emission that scientists observe. In quantum physics, when electrons transition between different energy levels around the atom (described by the principal quantum number, n) they either release or absorb a photon. The Balmer series describes the transitions from higher energy levels to the second energy level and the wavelengths of the emitted photons. You can calculate this using the Rydberg formula.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!! Is string a ferromagnetic material?
Contact [7]

Answer:

See, the string is made of nickel and steel (iron+carbon), materials that are ferromagnetic. That is, a magnet attracts guitar strings. When this ferromagnetic metal vibrates in the magnetic field of the pickup, that disturbs the red field lines which also cross through the coil (not shown).
