496/1127 = 0.44 = 44% 

<span>sin A = 0.85/2.1. </span>
<span>A = 23.9o. </span>

<span>Fp = 1127 sin23.9 = 457 N. = Force parallel to the ramp. </span>

<span>Fn = 1127 Cos23.9 = 1,030 N. = Force </span>
<span>perpendicular to the ramp = Normal force. </span>

<span>Eff. = Fp/Fap = 457/496 = 0.92 = 92%
Correct answer: 92%</span>

Psi communication refers to the transfer of information through a/an ________ process.
shtirl [24]

Answer:

unknown

Explanation:

Psi communication: The term "Psi communication" was initially originated in an article named 'Mass Communication and Para-Social Interaction' during 1956 by Donald Horton, and is also denoted as "parasocial interaction". It is described as a phenomenon that involves "one-sided interaction" between people, encompassing the viewer knowing a specific celebrity well whereas the viewer himself or herself is being completely unknown for the celebrity in return.

In the question above, the given statement represents that the Psi communication is responsible for transforming via an unknown process as one of its members are considered as unknown of the transfer, so the correct answer would be "unknown process".

Calculate the amount of energy produced in a nuclear reaction in which the mass defect is 0.187456 amu.
luda_lava [24]
For nuclear reactions, we determine the energy dissipated from the process from the Theory of relativity wherein energy is equal to the mass defect times the speed of light. We calculate as follows:

E = mc^2 = 0.187456 (3x10^8)^2 = 1.687x10^16 J

Hope this answers the question.

Electric current in a solid metal conductor is caused by the movement of what ?
Vlad1618 [11]
Electric current in a solid metal conductor is caused by the movement of electric charge. An electric current is the flow of electric charge. An electron current, the flow of electrons, contributes to an electric current since the electron 'carries' negative electric charge. The flow of ions also contributes to an electric current in, for example, the electrolyte of an electrochemical cell.

A siphon pumps water from a large reservoir to a lower tank that is initially empty. The tank also has a rounded orifice 20 ft b
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

height of the water rise in tank is 10ft

Explanation:

Apply the bernoulli's equation between the reservoir surface (1) and siphon exit (2)

\frac{P_1}{pg} + \frac{V^2_1}{2g} + z_1= \frac{P_2}{pg} + \frac{V_2^2}{2g} +z_2

\frac{P_1}{pg} + \frac{V^2_1}{2g} +( z_1-z_2)= \frac{P_2}{pg} + \frac{V_2^2}{2g}-------(1)

substitute P_a_t_m for P_1, (P_a_t_m +pgh) for P_2

0ft/s for V₁, 20ft for (z₁ - z₂) and 32.2ft/s² for g in eqn (1)

\frac{P_1}{pg} + \frac{V^2_1}{2g} +( z_1-z_2)= \frac{P_2}{pg} + \frac{V_2^2}{2g}

\frac{P_1}{pg} + \frac{0^2_1}{2g} +( 20)= \frac{(P_a_t_m+pgh)}{pg} +\frac{V^2_2}{2\times32.2} \\\\V_2 = \sqrt{64.4(20-h)}

Applying bernoulli's equation between tank surface (3) and orifice exit (4)

\frac{P_3}{pg} + \frac{V^2_3}{2g} + z_3= \frac{P_4}{pg} + \frac{V_4^2}{2g} +z_4

substitute

P_a_t_m for P_3, P_a_t_m for P_4

0ft/s for V₃, h for z₃, 0ft for z₄, 32,2ft/s² for g

\frac{P_a_t_m}{pg} + \frac{0^2}{2g} +h=\frac{P_a_t_m}{pg} + \frac{V_4^2}{2\times32.2} +0\\\\V_4 =\sqrt{64.4h}

At equillibrium Fow rate at point 2 is equal to flow rate at point 4

Q₂ = Q₄

A₂V₂ = A₃V₃

The diameter of the orifice and the siphon are equal , hence there area should be the same

substitute A₂ for A₃

\sqrt{64.4(20-h)} for V₂

\sqrt{64.4h} for V₄

A₂V₂ = A₃V₃

A_2\sqrt{64.4(20-h)} = A_2\sqrt{64.4h}\\\\20-h=h\\\\h= 10ft

Therefore ,height of the water rise in tank is 10ft
