The maximum speed the mass can have before it breaks is 2.27 m/s.

The given parameters:

maximum mass the string can support before breaking, m = 17.9 kg
radius of the circle, r = 0.525 m

The maximum speed the mass can have before it breaks is calculated as follows;

$T = ma_c\\\\Mg = \frac{Mv^2}{r} \\\\v^2 = rg\\\\v = \sqrt{rg} \\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{0.525 \times 9.8} \\\\v_{max} = 2.27 \ m/s$

Thus, the maximum speed the mass can have before it breaks is 2.27 m/s.

A ray of light passes from air into a block of clear plastic. How does the angle of incidence in the air compare to the angle of

andre [41]

Answer:

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.

When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where :

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:

$n_1=1.00$ (index of refraction of air)

$n_2=1.50$ approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)

Snell's Law can be rewritten as

$sin \theta_2 =\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$

And since $n_2>n_1$ , we have

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}$

And so

$\theta_2$

Which means that

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

A certain corner of a room is selected as the origin of a rectangular coordinate system. If a fly is crawling on an adjacent wal

Helga [31]

Answer:

2.59 m

Explanation:

Coordinates of origin = (0, 0)

Coordinates of Point p where the fly reach = (2.3 m, 1.2 m)

Use the distance formula of coordinates to find the distance between the origin and the point P.

$d=\sqrt{\left ( x_{2}-x_{1} \right )^{2}+\left ( y_{2}-y_{1} \right )^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{\left ( 2.3- 0 \right )^{2}+\left ( 1.2-0 \right )^{2}}$

d = 2.59 m

Thus, the distance between the origin and the point P is 2.59 m.

A man pushes on a piano with mass 190 kgkg ; it slides at constant velocity down a ramp that is inclined at 18.0 ∘∘ above the ho

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The magnitude of applied force,parallel to the incline is 575.38 N and parallel to the floor is 605 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the piano $(m)$ = 190 kg

Inclined angle $(\theta)$ = 18 degree

Considering gravity, $g$ = 9.8 $ms^-^2$

And

Using, $sin(18) =0.30$ and $cos(18)=0.95$

FBD diagram is attached with all the force acting on the floor and and the inclined.

We have to find the magnitude of forces,when the man pushes it parallel to the incline and to the floor.

When the man pushes it parallel to the incline.

Balancing the forces as $\sum F=0$ .

⇒ $F+mgsin(\theta) =0$

⇒ $F=-mgsin(\theta)$

⇒ Here it is negative as the force is acting downward.

⇒ Plugging the values of mass $(m)$ and angle $(\theta)$ .

⇒ $F=190\times 9.8\times sin(18)$

⇒ $F=575.38$ N

When the force is parallel to the floor.

⇒ $Fcos(\theta)=mgsin(\theta)$

⇒ $F=\frac{mgsin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ $F=\frac{190\times 9.8\times sin(18)}{cos(18)}$

⇒ $F=605$ N

So,

The magnitude of applied force in inclined direction is 575.38 Newton and parallel to the floor is 605 N.
