The box has 3 forces acting on it:

• its own weight (magnitude <em>w</em>, pointing downward)

• the normal force of the incline on the box (mag. <em>n</em>, pointing upward perpendicular to the incline)

• friction (mag. <em>f</em>, opposing the box's slide down the incline and parallel to the incline)

Decompose each force into components acting parallel or perpendicular to the incline. (Consult the attached free body diagram.) The normal and friction forces are ready to be used, so that just leaves the weight. If we take the direction in which the box is sliding to be the positive parallel direction, then by Newton's second law, we have

• net parallel force:

∑ <em>F</em> = -<em>f</em> + <em>w</em> sin(35°) = <em>m a</em>

• net perpendicular force:

∑<em> F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>w</em> cos(35°) = 0

Solve the net perpendicular force equation for the normal force:

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em> cos(35°)

<em>n</em> = (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) cos(35°)

<em>n</em> ≈ 120 N

Solve for the mag. of friction:

<em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em>

<em>f</em> = 0.25 (120 N)

<em>f</em> ≈ 30 N

Solve the net parallel force equation for the acceleration:

-30 N + (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) sin(35°) = (15 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>a</em> ≈ (54.3157 N) / (15 kg)

<em>a</em> ≈ 3.6 m/s²

Now solve for the block's speed <em>v</em> given that it starts at rest, with <em>v</em>₀ = 0, and slides down the incline a distance of ∆<em>x</em> = 3 m:

<em>v</em>² - <em>v</em>₀² = 2 <em>a</em> ∆<em>x</em>

<em>v</em>² = 2 (3.6 m/s²) (3 m)

<em>v</em> = √(21.7263 m²/s²)

<em>v</em> ≈ 4.7 m/s

What is the difference between a total solar eclipse, an annular solar eclipse, and a partial solar eclipse.
lozanna [386]

The total solar eclipse is the eclipse in which the Sun gets completely covered by the Moon and Solar Corona can be seen whereas in case of partial solar eclipse, the Sun is partially covered by the Moon and Solar Corona can’t be seen whereas, in case of annular solar eclipse, the moon is further away from the Earth than in case of Total solar eclipse.

<span>Corona is visible in case of the Total solar eclipse.</span>

A cheetah can go from a state of resting to running at 20 m/s in just two seconds what is the cheetah's average acceleration?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

It's C i believe.  To solve it we just take 20 and divide it by 2. Which gives us the average of 10 m/s

A merry-go-round of radius 2 m is rotating at one revolution every 5 s. A
galben [10]

Answer:

a) The angular speed of the child is approximately 1.257 rad/s

b) The angular speed of the teenager is approximately 1.257 rad/s

c) The tangential speed of the child is approximately 1.257 m/s

d) For the child, r = 2 m

The tangential speed of the teenager is approximately 2.513 m/s

Explanation:

The revolutions per minute, r.p.m. of the merry-go-round = 1 revolution/(5 s)

The radius of the merry-go-round = 2 m

The location of the child = 1 m from the axis

The location of the teenager = 2 m from the axis

1 revolution = 2·π radians

Therefore, we have;

The angular speed, ω = (Angle turned)/(Time elapsed) = (2·π radians)/(5 s)

∴ The angular speed of the merry-go-round, ω = 2·π/5 radians/second

a) The angular speed of the child = The angular speed of the merry-go-round = 2·π/5 radians/second ≈ 1.257 rad/s

b) The angular speed of the teenager = The angular speed of the merry-go-round = 2·π/5 radians/second ≈ 1.257 rad/s

c) The tangential speed, v = r × The angular speed, ω

Where;

r = The radius of rotation of the object

For the child, r = 1 m

The tangential speed of the child = 1 m × 2·π/5 radians/second = 2·π/5 m/s ≈ 1.257 m/s

d) For the child, r = 2 m

The tangential speed of the teenager = 2 m × 2·π/5 radians/second = 4·π/5 m/s ≈ 2.513 m/s

High-voltage power lines are a familiar sight throughout the country. The aluminum wire used for some of these lines has a cross
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

For resistance of a wire , the formula is as follows

R = ρ L / S

where ρ is specific resistance , L is length and S is cross sectional area

Given L = 14 000 m ,

S = 4.8 x 10⁻⁴ m²

specific resistance of aluminum = 2.8 x 10⁻⁸ ohm-meter

Putting the values in the formula

R = 2.8 x 10⁻⁸ x 14 x 10³ /  (4.8 x 10⁻⁴ )

R = 0.8167 ohm .

= .82 ohm .
