In which direction does the frictional force act on the cube? A) upwards B) downwards C)in all the directions D) side to side

Physics

Reika [66]3 years ago

Answer:

D) side to side

Explanation:

The frictional force act on the cube in the side to side direction. The friction force acts opposite to the direction of the motion of an object which reduces its speed or sometimes prevent it from moving from one place to another. In order to reduce the force of friction, the body has to move by rolling instead of sliding and use of lubrication on the surface on which the object moves.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

L= 12 light years

Explanation:

for length dilation we use the formula

L=L_0\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

now calculating Lo

Lo = 12.5×365×24×3600×3×10^8

= 1.183×10^17 m

now putting the values of v and Lo in the above equation we get

L=1.183\times10^{17}\sqrt{1-\frac{0.28c^2}{c^2} }

= 1.136×10^17 m

L=  = \frac{1.136\times10^{17}}{365\times24\times3600\times3\times10^8}m

so L= 12 light years

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Twopieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular to
loris [4]

Answer:

V = 13m/s

North-East (i.e. 45 degree from North)

Explanation:

This question deals with the idea of momentum.

Since the directions of a compass are fixed, we can take south as horizontal and west as vertical. Since both pieces of coconut are of equal mass, then the resultant of the two pieces would be in between South and West and the third piece would be opposite this direction and be in the North-East (i.e. 45 degree from North) direction

To find the speed of the third piece, we first find the speed on the two pieces of the coconut in terms of V_{x} (horizontal component of velocity) and V_{y} (vertical component of velocity)

We have

V_{y} = Velocity in South direction = 18m/s

m_{y} = Mass of piece in South direction = m

V_{x} = Velocity in West direction = 18m/s

m_{x} = Mass of piece in West direction = m

V_{ry} = Velocity of Third Piece in North direction = unknown

V_{rx} = Velocity of Third Piece in East direction = unknown

m = Mass of third piece = 2m

mV_{ry}  = m_{y} V_{y} \\ 2mV_{ry}  = m18\\ V_{ry} = 9

mV_{rx}  = m_{x} V_{x} \\ 2mV_{rx}  = m18\\ V_{rx} = 9

Since we now know the horizontal and vertical component of the velocity of the third piece of coconut we find the resultant velocity. Since we know the direction is North-East, we can imagine a right angled triangle with base of 9 and height 9 and the hypotenuse equal to the resultant velocity .

We can simply apply the Pythagoras theorem and find the hypotenuse

Hypotenuse^{2}  = Height^{2}  + Base^{2} \\ V_{3}^2  = 9^{2} + 9^{2} \\ V = 12.728 m/s

V = 13m/s

Which solid state component allows a mobile phone to store data even if the battery is removed
Talja [164]

Answer:

Capacitor

Explanation:

Capacitor ; A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that can store energy in an electric field electrostatically. It works as a small rechargeable battery that stores electricity. However, unlike a battery, it can charge and discharge in the split of a second. Capacitors are widely used to build different types of electronic circuits.

Which of the following would decrease the resistance to the flow of an electric current through a body?
Nookie1986 [14]
R = ρ L/A. R= resistance, ρ= resistivity, L= length of the conductor. A = area of the conductor. Resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor. So if length of the conductor is decreased, resistance will also decrease. Hence A is the correct option

The aeroplane lands at a speed of 80 m/s
strojnjashka [21]

The mass of the aeroplane is 300,000 kg.

<h3>What is Newton's second law of motion?</h3>

It states that the force F is directly proportional to the acceleration a of the body and its mass.

The law is represented as

F =ma

where acceleration a = velocity change v / time interval t

Given is the aeroplane lands at a speed of 80 m/s. After landing, the aeroplane takes 28 s to decelerate to a speed of 10 m/s. The mean resultant force on the aeroplane as it decelerates is 750 000 N.

The force expression will be

F = mv/t

Substitute the values and we have

750000 = m x  (80 -10)/ 28

750,000 = m x 2.5

m = 300,000 kg

Thus, the mass of the aeroplane is 300,000 kg.
