The block moves with constant velocity: for Newton's second law, this means that the resultant of the forces acting on the block is zero, because the acceleration is zero.
We are only concerned about the horizontal direction, and there are only two forces acting along this direction: the force F pushing the block and the frictional force
acting against the motion. Since their resultant must be zero, we have:
The frictional force is
where
is the coefficient of kinetic friction
is the weight of the block.
Substituting these values, we find the magnitude of the force F:
Answer:
A generator turns rotary motion into electricity. It is basically the inverse of a motor. Generally a transformer changes one voltage into another based on the number of conductor windings on each side. There are two sets of windings called the “primary” and the “secondary”.
Explanation:
The answer is (B. The study of Matter and Energy) but technically you could consider physics all of these as engineering is based on physics and that would be the study of inventions, chemistry and biology were both discovered because of physics, and physics invokes more math than any other subject as it applies math to the entire Universe.
Answer:
L = 1.15 m
Explanation:
The diffraction phenomenon is described by the equation
a sin θ = m λ
Where a is the width of the slit, λ the wavelength and m is an integer, the order of diffraction is left.
The diffraction measurements are made on a screen that is far from the slit, and the angles in the experiment are very small, let's use trigonometry
tan θ = y / L
tan θ = sint θ / cos θ≈ sin θ
We substitute in the first equation
a (y / L) = m λ
The first maximum occurs for m = 1
The distance is measured from the center point of maximum, which coincides with the center of the slit, in this case the distance is the total width of the central maximum, so the distance (y) measured from the center is
y = 1.15 / 2 = 0.575 cm
y = 0.575 10⁻² m
Let's clear the distance to the screen (L)
L = a y / λ
Let's calculate
L = 115 10⁻⁶ 0.575 10⁻² / 575 10⁻⁹
L = 1.15 m
