How does the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the ramp in the figure compare to the weight of the static block? The norm

al force is:______ a. greater than the weight of the block. b. possibly greater than or less than the weight of the block, depending on whether or not the ramp surface is smooth. c. equal to the weight of the block. d. possibly greater than or equal to the weight of the block, depending on whether or not the ramp surface is smooth. less than the weight of the block.

Answer:

less than the weight of the block.

Explanation:

From the free body diagram, we get.

The normal force is N = Mg cosθ

The tension in the string is T = Mg sinθ

Wight of the block when the block is static, W = Mg

Now since the magnitude of cosθ is in the range of : 0 < cosθ < 1,

therefore, the normal force is less than the weight of the static block.

A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of a tower at the same instant a ball is droppedvertically. Which object is travelin
Igoryamba

The ball is travelling faster when the two objects hits the level ground below.

<h3>Time of motion of the objects</h3>

The time of motion of the objects depends on height and initial velocity of projection of the objects.

The stone has no initial vertical velocity while the ball has initial vertical velocity.

Thus, the ball is travelling faster when the two objects hits the level ground below.

Speed of light 

According to Einstein, the speed of light is constant in all points of reference.  In addition, he pointed out the speed of light is the maximum speed known since in practice one can never catch up with the beam of light. This is explained by his theory of relativity.

Suppose we have a laser emitting a diffraction-limited beam (=632 nm) with a 2-mm diameter. How big a light spot from this lase
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

λ = wave length = 632 x 10⁻⁹

slit width a = 2 x 10⁻³ m

angular separation of central maxima

= 2 x λ /a

= 2 x 632 x 10⁻⁹ / 2 x 10⁻³

= 632 x 10⁻⁶ rad

width in m of light spot.

= 632 x 10⁻⁶  x 376000 km

= 237.632 km
