Answer: The angle of inclination is nearly 30°

Explanation:

For a body on an inclined plane, the coefficient of friction between the body and the plane is equal to the ratio of the moving force applied to the body to the frictional force acting on the body.

If uK coefficient of friction;

Fm is the moving force

R is the normal reaction on the body

Mathematically uK = Fm/R

Fm = WSin(theta)

R = Wcos(theta)

uK = Wsin(theta)/Wcos(theta)

uK = tan(theta)

theta = arctan(uK)

If uK is 0.58

theta = arctan0.58

theta = 30°

The angle of the inclined will be 30°

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The attached diagram explains the system,

Sum of Fy = 0

N=9.81

N - mgCos60 = 0

F= ukN= (0.53)(9.81) =

F= 5.12 N

So

F.d= 1/2(mv.v) - mgdsin60

-5.12*0.5 = 0.5*v^2 - 2*(9.81)*(0.5*sin60)

(a)  v = 2.436 m/s

For deflection

-F.x = 1/2(mv.v) - mgxsin60 + 1/2 (k*x*x)

by solving for with values of v, m, g, F, k

800x^2 - 11.87 x - 5.938 = 0

by solving the quadratic equation

x = 0.093, -0.079

(b) x = 0.093 m

correct Answer is 0.093m

Why is the light bulb not a closed system?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:An incandescent light bulb gives only energy of the system in the form of heat. ... The roof of a house is stable but it receives energy from the surroundings and transfers energy through it towards lower temperature side which includes no mass transfer. So, it is best considered as closed system.

A 15-µF capacitor and a 25-µF capacitor are connected in parallel, and charged to a potential difference of 60 V. How much energ
Alborosie

Answer:

Energy stored, E = 0.072 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitance, C_1=15\ \mu F

Capacitance, C_2=25\ \mu F

These two capacitor are connected in parallel, and charged to a potential difference of, V = 60 volts

We know that in parallel combination of capacitor, the equivalent capacitance is given by :

C=C_1+C_2\\\\C=(15+25)\ \mu F\\\\C=40\times 10^{-6}\ F

The energy stored in the capacitor is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}CV^2\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 40\times 10^{-6}\times (60)^2\\\\E=0.072\ J

So, the energy stored in the capacitor in this capacitor combination is 0.072 J.
