Apple hits the surface with speed 16.2 m/s

The angle made by the apple velocity with normal to the incline surface is given as 20 degree

now the component of velocity which is parallel to the surface and perpendicular to the surface is given as

v_{perpendicular} = v cos20

v_{parallel} = v sin20

so here we have

v_{parallel} = 16.2 sin20

v_{parallel} = 5.5 m/s

<em>so its velocity along the incline plane will be 5.5 m/s</em>

A radioactive substance decays exponentially. A scientist begins with 200 milligrams of a radioactive substance. After 17 hours,
lianna [129]

75.17 mg of the radioactive substance will remain after 24 hours.

Answer:

Explanation:

Any radioactive substance will obey the exponential decay behavior. So according to this behavior, any radioactive substance will be decaying in terms of exponential form of disintegration constant and Time.

Disintegration constant is the rate of decay of radioactive elements. It can be measured using the half life time of the radioactive element .While half life time is the time taken by any radioactive element to decay half of its concentration. Like in this case, at first the scientist took 200 mg then after 17 hours, it got reduced to 100 g. So the half life time of this element is 17 hours.

Then Disintegration constant = 0.6932/Half Life time

Disintegration constant = 0.6932/17=0.041

Then as per the law of disintegration constant:

N = N_{0}e^{-xt}

Here N is the amount of radioactive element remaining at time t and N_{0} is the initial amount of sample, x is the disintegration constant.

So here, N_{0} = 200 mg, x = 0.041 and t = 24 hrs.

N = 200 ×e^{-24*0.041} =75.17 mg.

So 75.17 mg of the radioactive substance will remain after 24 hours.

Answer:

Explanation:

Length if the bar is 1m=100cm

The tip of the bar serves as fulcrum

A force of 20N (upward) is applied at the tip of the other end. Then, the force is 100cm from the fulcrum

The crate lid is 2cm from the fulcrum, let the force (downward) acting on the crate be F.

Using moment

Sum of the moments of all forces about any point in the plane must be zero.

Let take moment about the fulcrum

100×20-F×2=0

2000-2F=0

2F=2000

Then, F=1000N

The force acting in the crate lid is 1000N

Option D is correct

irga5000 [103]
Sometimes arithmetic problems can be solved much more easily using the dimensional analysis approach. You focus on the units of the given information. Then, you manipulate them applying the laws of algebra where like units cancel, in order to end up with the unit of the unknown.

Given:
-50 nc/step
31 steps
Unknown: charge

Thus,
Charge = -50 nc/step * 31 steps =<em> -1550 nc</em>

A disk is spinning about its center with a constant angular speed at first. Let the turntable spin faster and faster, with const
hoa [83]

Answer:

4 (please see the attached file)

Explanation:

While the angular speed (counterclockwise) remained constant, the angular acceleration was just zero.

So, the only force acting on the bug (parallel to the surface) was the centripetal force, producing a centripetal acceleration directed towards the center of the disk.

When the turntable started to spin faster and faster, this caused a change in the angular speed, represented by the appearance of an angular acceleration α.

This acceleration is related with the tangential acceleration, by this expression:

at = α*r

This acceleration, tangent to the disk (aiming in the same direction of the movement, which is counterclockwise, as showed in the pictures) adds vectorially with the centripetal force, giving a resultant like the one showed in the sketch Nº 4.
