I assume the 100 N force is a pulling force directed up the incline.

The net forces on the block acting parallel and perpendicular to the incline are

∑ F[para] = 100 N - F[friction] = 0

∑ F[perp] = F[normal] - mg cos(30°) = 0

The friction in this case is the maximum static friction - the block is held at rest by static friction, and a minimum 100 N force is required to get the block to start sliding up the incline.

Then

F[friction] = 100 N

F[normal] = mg cos(30°) = (10 kg) (9.8 m/s²) cos(30°) ≈ 84.9 N

If µ is the coefficient of static friction, then

F[friction] = µ F[normal]

⇒   µ = (100 N) / (84.9 N) ≈ 1.2

Students perform an experiment in which they drop two eggs with equal mass from a balcony. In the first trial, the egg hits the
shepuryov [24]

<u> Answer </u>

The impulse on the second trial is smaller is smaller than in the first trial.

<u>Explanation </u>

Impose of a body is that change in momentum during a time interval. If the change of momentum takes longer then, the impulse of a force is less. I a moving object hits a hard surface the rate of change of momentum is very high. e.i in the first trial, the egg breaks because it hits the hard surface(ground).

In the second trial, the foam cushion absorbs the shock and prolongs the time of impact with the egg hence decreasing the impulse.

VikaD [51]

The wrong type of lens-Microscope, concave

Explanation:

A microscope Basically  uses t<u>wo convex lenses to magnify an object, or specimen.</u>

There are  2 lenses in a microscope

  1. <u>Object Lens:</u>The lens that is closer to the object
  2. <u>Eyepiece:</u>The lens that is closer to the eye

Both the object lens and the  eyepiece, is a convex lens.

A. Which of the four thermal processes describes the pressure-volume relationship at a constant temperature?
lara31 [8.8K]
The thermal process that occurs when pressure and volume are variable, while the temperature remains constant is known as an isothermal process. Due to the change in temperature being zero, the internal energy of the system does not change. Isothermal processes can be carried out adiabatically or non-adiabatically. (An adiabatic process is where the heat energy moving through the boundary of a system is 0)
