In a system where friction is present, the tension in the string is maximized due to the addition of gravitational force, which affects the friction force acting on the system. Conversely, in a frictionless setting, only the gravitational force matters.

Response:

In the second scenario

Clarification:

Reasoning:

Friction opposes motion.

In scenario one, the block glides without any friction present, indicating a smooth surface allowing minimal net force to pull the string.

In the second scenario, kinetic friction plays a role between the sliding block and the table, where kinetic friction is expressed as:

F = \muN\mu N

with relevant variables being \mu as the coefficient of friction and N as the normal force.

This means the necessary net force becomes:

F_{net} = F_{pull} - \mu N

Thus, the force is greater in the second situation.

Consequently, the tension is also heightened in the second scenario.

Softa [3030]

Response:

The new resistance is half of the original resistance.

Explanation:

Resistance in a wire is represented by:

R=\dfrac{\rho L}{A}

\rho = resistivity of the material

L and A are the physical dimensions

If a wire is exchanged for one where all linear dimensions are doubled, i.e. l' = 2l and r' = 2r

The updated resistance of the wire can be calculated as follows:

R'=\dfrac{\rho L'}{A'}

R'=\dfrac{\rho (2L)}{\pi (2r)^2}

R'=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\rho L}{A}

R'=\dfrac{1}{2}R

The new resistance equals half of the original resistance. Thus, this provides the solution needed.

In broad daylight, the size of your pupil is typically 3 mm. In dark situations, it expands to about 7 mm. How much more light c
Sav [3153]

Answer:

31.4 mm²

Explanation:

The ability of a telescope or eye to gather light can be expressed by the formula,

GDP=\pi } \frac{d^{2} }{4}

where d signifies the diameter of the pupil.

In bright daylight, the usual size of the pupil is 3 mm.

GDP_{b} =\pi \frac{3^{2} }{4}

Conversely, in darkness, the diameter typically enlarges to 7 mm.

GDP_{b} =\pi \frac{7^{2} }{4}

This indicates an increase in light-gathering capacity.

Increase=\pi \frac{49}{4} -\pi \frac{9}{4} \\Increase=31.4 mm^{2}

Thus, the amount of light the eye can capture is 31.4 mm².

Sketch a position-time graph for a bear starting
Sav [3153]
Hopefully this clarifies things. The position remains unchanged over the span of 5 seconds, which indicates that it is at rest while time continues to pass. When the slope turns negative, it illustrates that the bear is moving backward, thus changing its direction.

Which statements about inertia and centripetal force are correct? Check all that apply. Inertia is always present. Inertia cause
kicyunya [3294]
Inertia is universally present. It's important to note that inertia doesn't serve as the force keeping objects in circular paths; that role belongs to centripetal force, which is not always present. Centripetal force actively pulls objects towards the center of a circle. Both inertia and centripetal force contribute to the phenomenon of circular motion. Thank you, and enjoy your day;)
