A frictionless inclined plane is 8.0 m long and rests on a wall that is 2.0 m high. How much force is needed to push a block of
adoni [48]

Given Information:  

Inclined plane length = 8 m

Inclined plane height = 2 m

Weight of ice block = 300 N

Required Information:  

Force required to push ice block = F = ?  

Answer:  

Force required to push ice block =  75 N

Explanation:  

The force required to push this block of ice on a inclined plane is given by

F = Wsinθ

Where W is the weight of the ice block and θ is the angle as shown in the attached image.

Recall from trigonometry ratios,

sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse

Where opposite is height of the inclined plane and hypotenuse in the length of the inclined plane.

sinθ = 2/8

θ = sin⁻¹(2/8)

θ = 14.48°

F = 300*sin(14.48)

F = 75 N

Therefore, a force of 75 N is required to push this ice block on the given inclined plane.

An engineer is designing a process for a new transistor. She uses a vacuum chamber to bombard a thin layer of silicon with ions
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

E=5.7\times 10^{-3}\ V/m

Explanation:

Given that

m_p=5.18\times 10^{-26}\ kg

re= 46 cm

Vp= 180 m/s

We know that

E=\dfrac{\Delta V}{r}

\Delta V=\dfrac{1}{4}\dfrac{m_pv_p^2}{e}

So

E=\dfrac{1}{4}\dfrac{m_pv_p^2}{e.r_e}

Now by putting the all given values in the questions

E=\dfrac{1}{4}\times \dfrac{5.18\times 10^{-26}\times 180^2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.46}

E=5.7\times 10^{-3}\ V/m

So the average electric field is E=5.7\times 10^{-3}\ V/m.

A spring driven dart gun propels a 10g dart. It is cocked by exerting a force of 20N over a distance of 5cm. With what speed wil
adelina 88 [10]
<span>14 m/s Assuming that all of the energy stored in the spring is transferred to dart, we have 2 equations to take into consideration. 1. How much energy is stored in the spring? 2. How fast will the dart travel with that amount of energy. As for the energy stored, that's a simple matter of multiplication. So: 20 N * 0.05 m = 1 Nm = 1 J For the second part, the energy of a moving object is expressed as KE = 0.5 mv^2 where KE = Kinetic energy m = mass v = velocity Since we now know the energy (in Joules) and mass of the dart, we can substitute the known values and solve for v. So KE = 0.5 mv^2 1 J = 0.5 0.010 kg * v^2 1 kg*m^2/s^2 = 0.005 kg * v^2 200 m^2/s^2 = v^2 14.14213562 m/s = v So the dart will have a velocity of 14 m/s after rounding to 2 significant figures.</span>

Sketch the circuit labeling the meter and bulb as two separate resistors connected in parallel to the voltage source. Then show
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Show attached picture

Explanation:

Let's call V the voltage provided by the battery in the circuit. M is the multimeter (let's call R_M its internal resistance) and R indicates the resistance of the light bulb.

We know that the meter's internal resistance is 1000 times higher than the bulb's resistance:

R_M = 1000 R (1)

Both  the meter and the bulb are connected in parallel to the battery, so they both have same potential difference at their terminals:

V_M = V_R

Using Ohm's law, V=RI, we can rewrite the previous equation as:

R_M I_M = R I_R

where

I_M is the current in the meter

I_R is the current in the bulb

Using (1), this equation becomes

(1000 R) I_M = R I_R \rightarrow I_M = \frac{I_R}{1000}

so, the current in the meter is 1000 times less than through the bulb.
