Answer:
laser pointer does not make use of total internal reflection
The solution for the problem is:
Constant speed means Fnet = 0.
Let m = mass of wood block and Θ = angle of ramp; then if µk = 0.35 …
The computation would be:
Fnet = 0 = mg (sin Θ) - (µk) (mg) (cos Θ)
mg (sin Θ) = µk (mg) (cos Θ)
µk = tan Θ
Θ = arctan(µk)
= arctan (0.35)
≈ 19.3°
<span> Using conservation of energy
Potential Energy (Before) = Kinetic Energy (After)
mgh = 0.5mv^2
divide both sides by m
gh = 0.5v^2
h = (0.5V^2)/g
h = (0.5*2.2^2)/9.81
h = 0.25m

Answer:
If gravity on Earth is increased, this gravitational tugging would have influenced the moon's rotation rate. If it was spinning more than once per orbit, Earth would pull at a slight angle against the moon's direction of rotation, slowing its spin. If the moon was spinning less than once per orbit, Earth would have pulled the other way, speeding its rotation.
