Answer:

A protractor to measure the angle of the inclined plane with the horizontal

Explanation:

The student needs to lift the free end of the adjustable inclined plane until the object barely starts sliding, and measure the angle at which such happens. At that point, the force of friction equals the component of the weight in the direction of the incline. That is:

f=\mu\,* N = \mu * m g\, cos(\theta)

and  w_{//}= m\,g\,sin(\theta)

Then  

f = w_{//}\\\mu *\,m \,g\,cos(\theta) = m\,g\,sin(\theta)\\\mu = tan(\theta)

and therefore, the coefficient of static friction is fully determined just by calculating the tangent of the angle that the incline forms with the horizontal.

Then the only extra instrument needed is a protractor to measure the angle.

three different-mass projectiles are launched at different angles of elevation from the top of a building. each particle has the
MrRa [10]

The correct option is b. The one with the lowest mass.

An object's kinetic energy is determined by

k=1/2mv^2

where

m is the object's mass.

v is the object's speed.

The three missiles in this puzzle have varying masses but the same beginning kinetic energy.

The three projectiles will all have the same kinetic energy when they hit the ground because mechanical energy is conserved, assuming there is no air resistance (because the potential energy that they have lost is the same, since they have been launched from the same height, and they reach the same final altitude, the ground).

hence,

K1=k2=k3

The magnitude of the Normal Force on a
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

5. Is greater than mg, always

Explanation:

If the cone has an inclination of angle β, the sum of forces will be:

x-axis (centripetal axis):

N*sin β = m*ax  where ax is the centripetal acceleration

y-axis:

N*cos β - m*g = m*ay   where ay is the vertical acceleration. If the block starts falling down, ay will be negative. If the block starts sliding up, ay will be positive. If the block does not move up nor down, ay=0.

Solving for N:

N = \frac{m*g + m*ay}{cos \beta }

If ay is positive or zero, N will be greater than mg. If ay is negative, N will be less than mg.

If the block is sliding along a horizontal circular path (not up, nor down), ay = 0, so N will always be greater than mg.

A basketball is shot from 2 meters up at an angle of 60° above the x axis at an initial velocity of 9 m/s. What is the maximum h
Nikitich [7]

Hope this helps a little

initial distance up = 2

initial velocity component up = 9 sin 60 = 7.79

v = 9 sin 60 - 9.8 t

when v = 0, we are there

9.8 t = 7.79

t = .795 seconds to top

h = 2 + 7.79(.795) - 4.9(.795^2)
