to measure the static friction coefficient between a block and a vertical wall, a spring is attached to the block, is pushed on

the end in a direction perpendicular to the wall until the block does not slip downward. If the spring is compressed, what is the coefficient of static friction

Answer:

μ = mg/kx

Explanation:

Since the bock does not slip, the frictional force equals the weight of the block. So, F = mg. Now, the frictional force, F = μN where μ = coefficient of static friction and N = Normal force.

Now, the normal force equals the spring force F' = kx where k = spring constant and x = compression of spring.

N = F' = kx

So, F = μN = μkx

μkx = mg

So, μ = mg/kx

Which piece of furniture will have the most inertia and give the furniture movers the most difficulty in moving?
Fittoniya [83]
The item with the most inertia is the one with the greatest mass.
It's easy to identify because it's also the heaviest one.

There are a great many other issues that make something
difficult for movers to move, besides its weight.  Size, shape,
handles, wheels, getting it around tight corners, etc.  So we
can't necessarily say that the heaviest item is the one that
presents the biggest problem for the movers.

Define liquid pressure​
Stella [2.4K]

The pressure of a liquid on the surface of its container or on the surface of any body in the liquid is equal to the weight of a column of the liquid whose height equals the depth of the liquid at that certain point.

Water flows over a section of Niagara Falls at the rate of 1.2×106 kg/s and falls 50.0 m. How much power is generated by the fal
quester [9]

Answer:

5.88×10⁸ W

Explanation:

Power = energy / time

P = mgh / t

P = (m/t) gh

P = (1.2×10⁶ kg/s) (9.8 m/s²) (50.0 m)

P = 5.88×10⁸ W

Consider two diffraction gratings with the same slit separation. The only difference between the two gratings is that one gratin
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

True The grid with more slits gives more angle separation increases

True. The grating with 10 slits produces better-defined (narrower) peaks

Explanation:

Such a system can be seen as a diffraction network in this case with different number of lines per unit length, the expression for the constructive interference of a diffraction network is

      d sin θ = m λ

where d is the distance between slits or lines, m the order of diffraction and λ the wavelength.

For network with 5 slits

      d = 1/5 = 0.2

For the network with 10 slits

      d = 1/10 = 0.1

let's calculate the separation (teat) for each one

      θ = sin⁻¹ (m λ / d)

for 5 slits

     θ₅ = sin⁻¹ (m λ 5)

for 10 slits

     θ₁₀ = sin⁻¹ (m λ 10)

we can appreciate that for more slits the angle increases

the intensity of a series of slits is

       I = I₀ sin²2 (N d/2) / sin² d/2)

when there are more slits (N) the peaks have greater intensity and are more acute (half width decreases)

let's analyze the claims

False

True The grid with more slits gives more angle separation increases

False

True The expression for the intensity of the diffraction peaks the intensity of the peaks increases with the number of slits as well as their spectral width decreases

False
