Answer:

15.9 m

Explanation:

Use the equation for gravitational potential energy (Ug):

Ug= mass*g*height

250,000 J= 1600 kg*9.8 m/s^2*height

height= 15.9 m

Hope this helps!!! :)

Explanation:

Forces on Block A:

Let the x-axis be (+) towards the right and y-axis be (+) in the upward direction. We can write the net forces on mass $m_A$ as

$x:\:\:(F_{net})_x = f_N - T = -m_Aa\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(1)$

$y:\:\:(F_{net})_y = N - m_Ag = 0 \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(2)$

Substituting (2) into (1), we get

$\mu_km_Ag - T = -m_Aa \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(3)$

where $f_N= \mu_kN$ , the frictional force on $m_A.$ Set this aside for now and let's look at the forces on $m_B$

Forces on Block B:

Let the x-axis be (+) up along the inclined plane. We can write the forces on $m_B$ as

$x:\:\:(F_{net})_x = T - m_B\sin30= -m_Ba\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(4)$

$y:\:\:(F_{net})_y = N - m_Bg\cos30 = 0 \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(5)$

From (5), we can solve for N as

$N = m_B\cos30 \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(6)$

Set (6) aside for now. We will use this expression later. From (3), we can see that the tension T is given by

$T = m_A( \mu_kg + a)\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(7)$

Substituting (7) into (4) we get

$m_A(\mu_kg + a) - m_Bg\sin 30 = -m_Ba$

Collecting similar terms together, we get

$(m_A + m_B)a = m_Bg\sin30 - \mu_km_Ag$

$a = \left[ \dfrac{m_B\sin30 - \mu_km_A}{(m_A + m_B)} \right]g\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(8)$

Putting in the numbers, we find that $a = 1.4\:\text{m/s}$ . To find the tension T, put the value for the acceleration into (7) and we'll get $T = 21.3\:\text{N}$ . To find the force exerted by the inclined plane on block B, put the numbers into (6) and you'll get $N = 50.9\:\text{N}$

which part of the microscope will be used first to adjust the focus when starting with the lowest power lens?

noname [10]

The first part of the microscope that should first be used to adjust the focus when starting with the lowest power lens would be the coarse adjustment knob.

There are two knobs in a typical light microscope with which objects on slides can be brought into focus:

Coarse adjustment knob
Fine adjustment knob

The 2 knobs are used to adjust the stage to either bring it up towards the objective lens or down away from them. The coarse adjustment knob, however, moves the stage a considerable distance with each turn. The fine adjustment knob, on the other hand, only moves the stage very little with each turn.

The lowest power lenses are often short. Hence, using the coarse adjustment knob is ideal in order to quickly bring objects on slides into focus.

The fine adjustment knob comes highly recommended at high objectives because high objectives lenses are usually long and using the coarse adjustment knob can lead to a breakage of the slide by the lens.

how much work is done in holding your books 1 meter off the ground while standing and waiting 10 minutes for your bus

Harman [31]

Even though you're sweating and straining at the end of that time, and your arm is trembling and your muscles are screaming, in the sense of the definition of work in Physics, NO work has been done holding those books.

What is another way of saying “getting the smallest possible force”?

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

MOMENTUM

Explanation:

another way of saying getting the smallest force possible is the word " MOMENTUM".

momentum is the ability to keep maintaining,incresing or itself developing to move at constant speed or to increase the speed.
