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

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Frequency is 213.04\ s^{-1}.

Explanation:

Distance between source 1 from the receiver , S_1 =\sqrt{10^2+22^2}=24.17\ m.

Distance between source 2 from the receiver , S_2=\sqrt{5^2+22^2}=22.56\ m.

Now ,

Path difference , r = S_1-S_2=24.17-22.56=1.61\ m.

We know, for constructive interference path difference should be integral multiple of wavelength .  

Therefore, r=n\times \lambda

It is given that n = 1,

Therefore, \lambda=1.61\ m.

Frequency can be found by , \nu=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}= \dfrac{343}{1.61}=   213.04\ s^{-1} .

Hence, this is the required solution.

Mac and Keena are experimenting with pulses on a rope. Mac vibrates one end up and down while Keena holds the other end. This creates a pulse which they observe moving from end to end. How does the position of a point on the rope before the start of the pulse compare to its position after the pulse passes? Explain your reasoning.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

1.2 amps :)

Explanation:

A heater has a resistance of 10.0 Ω. It operates on a 12.0 V. What is the current through the resistor?

         Known:

  • R = 10.0 Ω                            
  • V = 12.0 V

       Unknown:

  • I = ???

I = V/R

= 12.0 V / 10.0 Ω

= 1.2 amps

A gas at 5.00 atm pressure was stored in a tank during the winter at 5.0 °C. During the summer, the temperature in the storage a
saw5 [17]

Answer:

a) 5.63 atm

Explanation:

We can use combined gas law

<em>The combined gas law</em> combines the three gas laws:

  • Boyle's Law,   (P₁V₁ =P₂V₂)
  • Charles' Law  (V₁/T₁ =V₂/T₂)
  • Gay-Lussac's Law.  (P₁/T₁ =P₂/T₂)

It states that the ratio of the product of pressure and volume and the absolute temperature of a gas is equal to a constant.

P₁V₁/T₁ =P₂V₂/T₂

where P = Pressure, T = Absolute temperature, V = Volume occupied

The volume of the system remains constant,

So, P₁/T₁ =P₂/T₂

a) \frac{5}{278} =\frac{P_2}{313}  \\\\P_2=\frac{5*313}{278}\\ P_2 = 5.63 atm
