Consider a stone in free fall on a planet with gravitational acceleration 3.4 m/s^2. Suppose you would like the stone to experie

nce the same magnitude of acceleration down an inclined plane on Earth. Neglecting friction and air resistance, which angle should the inclined plane have with respect to the horizontal ? (in deg)

Answer:

Angle of incline is 20.2978°

Explanation:

Given that;

Gravitational acceleration on a planet a = 3.4 m/s²

Gravitational acceleration on Earth g = 9.8 m/s²

Angle of incline = ∅

Mass of the stone = m

Force on the stone along the incline will be;

F = mgSin∅

F = ma

The stone has the same acceleration as that of the gravitational acceleration on the planet.

so

ma = mgSin∅

a = gSin∅

Sin∅ = a / g

we substitute

Sin∅ = (3.4 m/s²) / (9.8 m/s²)

Sin∅ = 0.3469

∅ = Sin⁻¹( 0.3469 )

∅ = 20.2978°

Therefore, Angle of incline is 20.2978°

What does an electromagnet do?
butalik [34]
An electromagnet is a device that sends electricity through a coil of wire to produce a magnetic field. This leads to a magnet that can be controlled - turned on and off with the flip of a switch, or increased or decreased in strength. The coils are often wrapped around a regular magnet to make it stronger.

Statement A: 2.567 km, to two significant figures. Statement B: 2.567 km, to three significant figures. Determine the correct re
sammy [17]

Answer:

Statement A is greater than Statement B.

Explanation:

Statement A: 2.567 km, to two significant figures..

To 2 sig figures means only 2 whole numbers should be left after approximation. Thus, 2.567 to 2 significant figures is 2.6 km

Statement B: 2.567 km, to three significant figures. To 3 sig figures means only 3 whole numbers should be left after approximation. Thus, 2.567 to 3 significant figures is 2.57 km

Comparing both values, statement A is obviously greater than Statement B
