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.

The average power dissipated in a 47 ω resistor is 2.0 w. what is the peak value i 0 of the ac current in the resistor?
pishuonlain [190]
The average dissipated power in a resistor in a ac circuit is:
P=I_{rms}^2 R
where R is the resistance, and I_{rms} is the root mean square current, defined as
I_{rms} =  \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}}
where I_0 is the peak value of the current. Substituting the second formula into the first one, we find
P=( \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2} } )^2 R =  \frac{1}{2} I_0^2 R
and if we re-arrange this formula and use the data of the problem, we can find the value of the peak current I0:
I_0 =  \sqrt{ \frac{2 P}{R} }=  \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 2.0 W}{47 \Omega} }=0.29 A

A helicopter blade spins at exactly 110 revolutions per minute. Its tip is 4.50 m from the center of rotation. (a) Calculate th
NeX [460]

Answer:

(a). The average speed is 51.83 m/s.

(b). The average velocity over one revolution is zero.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular velocity = 110 rev/m

Radius = 4.50 m

(a). We need to calculate the average speed

Using formula of average speed

v=r\omega

v = 4.50\times110\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60}

v=51.83\ m/s

(b). The average velocity over one revolution is zero because the net displacement is zero in one revolution.

Hence, (a). The average speed is 51.83 m/s.

(b). The average velocity over one revolution is zero.

A rectangular loop of copper wire of resistance r has width a and length
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

b = b₀ cos ω t

When t = 0 , magnetic field will be b₀ and positive or directed into the page . This is the maximum value of magnetic field. As times goes ahead , magnetic field decreases so magnetic flux decreases . The induced emf or current will be such that it will  opposes this reduction of magnetic field. Hence , current in clockwise direction will be  generated in the coil which will generate magnetic flux into the paper.

In this way  current will be induced  clockwise.
