to measure the static friction coefficient between a block and a vertical wall, a spring is attached to the block, is pushed on the end in a direction perpendicular to the wall until the block does not slip downward. If the spring is compressed, what is the coefficient of static friction

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

μ = mg/kx

Explanation:

Since the bock does not slip, the frictional force equals the weight of the block. So, F = mg. Now, the frictional force, F = μN where μ = coefficient of static friction and N = Normal force.

Now, the normal force equals the spring force F' = kx where k = spring constant and x = compression of spring.

N = F' = kx

So, F = μN = μkx

μkx = mg

So, μ = mg/kx

What happened to the pod during those seconds when communication was lost?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

From our investigation of what forces are like in a collision, we learned that when two

objects collide, a force is exerted on each object. The two forces are in opposite

directions but the same strength. This allowed us to infer that an equal strength force

was exerted on the space station and the pod, but in opposite directions.

As a result, the space station and the pod are moving in opposite directions. We need to

learn more about the effects of collisions on each object’s motion so we can report back

to Dr. Gonzales at the space agency.

You will use physical materials to gather data about

forces in a collision. You will also notice how objects

are affected by collisions. Students will use their

data to infer the force direction for objects in a

collision.

Based on the velocity change of each object,

what did you infer about the direction of forces

during a collision?

• We observed that the velocity of each object changed during a collision, so we can infer

that a force had to be exerted on each object. However, the motion of the objects

changed in different ways.

• The object that was moving forward slowed down, so I can infer that the force must have

pushed backward on this object.

• The other object started moving forward, so the force must have pushed forward on that

object. If one force was backward and one force was forward, then the forces pushed

the objects in opposite directions.

A 1500 kg car traveling at 30 m/s hits a stationary 1200 kg car. If they stick together on collision, what is the final velocity of the two cars?

Answers

Answer:

16.67 m/s

Explanation:

Let that velocity be v.

Using conservation of momentum:

Initial momentum = final momentum

momentum of car1 = momentum of cars

mass1 x velocity1 = (m1 + m2)v

1500*30 = (1500 + 1200)v

Belinda observes that the reaction 2H2O+O2=2H2O2 appears to have stopped, because the concentrations of reactants and products are not changing. Which statement is true at this point in the reaction
A P E X

Answers

Answer: Molecules of H202, H20 and 02 are still forming. ( A P E X )

Explanation: I know this is late but for anyone looking at this later

The above question is incomplete, I think the original  question is

Belinda observes that the reaction 2H20+02 2H2O2 appears to have stopped because the concentrations of reactants and products are not changing. Which statement is true at this point in the reaction?

A. Molecules of H₂O₂ are formed only when the reaction vessel is disturbed.

B. Molecules of H2O2 have stopped forming.

C. Molecules of H20 and O₂ have stopped forming.

D. Molecules of H2O2, H2O, and O2 are still forming.

At this point in the reaction, the system has reached a state of equilibrium i.e there is no net change in the concentrations of reactants and products. So the Molecules of H2O2 have stopped forming. The correct option is B.

What is the state of equilibrium?

In chemistry, a state of equilibrium refers to a situation where the concentrations of reactants and products in a chemical reaction are no longer changing over time.

This occurs when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, and there is no net change in the concentrations of reactants and products.

At equilibrium, the system is in a dynamic state, where the forward and reverse reactions continue to occur, but at the same rate, resulting in no overall change in the concentrations of the species involved in the reaction. The equilibrium state is typically characterized by the equilibrium constant, which is a measure of the relative concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium for a given reaction under specific conditions of temperature, pressure, and concentration.

Here in this question,

The molecules of H2O2 have stopped forming. This means that the forward reaction (2H2O + O2 → 2H2O2) and the reverse reaction (2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2) are occurring at the same rate, resulting in no net change in the concentration of H2O2. However, molecules of H2O and O2 are still being consumed and produced as they are involved in the reaction, but their concentrations are not changing because they are being replenished at the same rate that they are being consumed.

Therefore, the correct answer is B i.e Molecules of H2O2 have stopped forming.

What are some possible injuries that can occur as a result of anabolic steroid use?

Most data on the long-term effects of anabolic steroids in humans come from case reports rather than formal epidemiological studies. Serious and life-threatening adverse effects may be underreported, especially since they may occur many years later. One review found 19 deaths in published case reports related to anabolic steroid use between 1990 and 2012; however, many steroid users also used other drugs, making it difficult to show that the anabolic steroid use caused these deaths.39 One animal study found that exposing male mice for one fifth of their lifespan to steroid doses comparable to those taken by human athletes caused a high frequency of early deaths

True.  it is restricted to the orbits of certain radii around the nucleus.

The position can change, but it must be in one of these orbits

Explanation:

In this exercise some affirmations are given and you must select which ones are correct, for this we review the Bohr atomic model that has the following postulates:

* the orbits are circular

* Only certain orbits are stable, stationary state

* the radiation emitted is the difference in energy between two stable orbits

* the size of the orbit is given by the quantization of the angular momentum

             L = n [tex]\hbar[/tex]

When reviewing the different statements, the correct one is:

* it is restricted to the orbits of certain radii around the nucleus.

Why are some areas in Europe seeing a partial solar eclipse while others are observing a total solar eclipse?

Answers

Answer:

Objects between the source and observer produce possible shadows known as the umbra and the penumbra.

The umbra is a totally shadowed area, no light travels directly from the source to the observer.

The penumbra is a partially shadowed are where some of the source light travels directly to the observer an some of the source light is blocked from the observer (the object blocking the light is not a point object).

The question apparently refers to the differences seen by the observers.

Background information:
We know that power is the rate that work is done; what that
really means is that power tells up how much work is done every
second. To calculate power we just divide the amount of work that
was done by the time it took to do it (Power=work/time). Work is
measured in Joules and time is measured in seconds, we end up with Joules/sec when we calculate power. A Joule/sec is a Watt; we’ll use Watts to measure and compare power.
We also know that the work done on an object is the amount of energy it has gained. For this activity, you’ll be raising your body up as you do pushups which means you’ll be giving your body gravitational potential energy (GPE). To calculate the amount of GPE we multiply mass time gravity times the height raised (GPE=mgh).
What to do (record everything in the table):
1. You need to have a decent estimate of your mass in kilograms: On earth, every
kilogram weighs 2.2 pounds. Either measure your weight on a scale or just
estimate it (in pounds) then divide by 2.2 to get your mass in kilograms.
2. Measure or estimate the length of your upper arm from your elbow to your
shoulder in centimeters...this is how high you raise yourself for every pushup.
3. Decide if you’ll do regular pushups (on your toes) or simpler pushups (knees). If
you are doing regular pushups, multiply your mass by 0.68 because you’ll only be lifting about 68% of your mass each time; if you’re doing simpler pushups, multiply your mass by 0.52 because you’ll only be lifting about 52% of your mass each time.
4. Measure the time it takes for you to do 10 pushups.

A submarine is 309 m horizontally from the shore of a freshwater lake and 105 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from the submarine so that the beam strikes the surface of the water 227 m from the shore. A building stands on the shore, and the laser beam hits a target at the top of the building. The goal is to find the height of the target above sea level.

Required:
a. Draw a diagram of the situation, Identifying the two triangles that are important in finding the solution.
b. Find the angle of incidence of the beam striking the water-air interface.
c. Find the angle of refraction.
d. What angle does the refracted beam make with the horizontal?
e. Find the height of the target above sea level.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

a) See the attached file for diagram . The two triangles are ABC and DEC .

b )

Angle of incidence = i

Tan i = ( 309 - 227 ) / 105

= 82 / 105 = .78

i = 38°

c )

Sin i / sinr = 1 / μ where μ is refractive index of water .

Sin i / sinr = 1 / μ = 1 / 1.33

sin 38 / sinr = .7518

.6156 / sinr = .7518

sinr = .6156 / .7518

.819

r = 55°

d )

angle  the refracted beam makes with the horizontal = 90 - 55 = 35°

e )

h / 227 = Tan 35

h = 227 x Tan 35

= 159 m

Height required = 159 m .

Expression for VSWR

VSWR =  [tex]\frac{1 + \sqrt{\frac{Pr}{Pi} } }{1 - \sqrt{\frac{Pr}{Pi} } }[/tex]    where ; Pr = reflected power , Pi = Incident power

hence the ratio of the largest amplitude to the smallest amplitude
