Response:

A protractor to gauge the angle between the inclined plane and the horizontal

Explanation:

The student must elevate the free end of the adjustable inclined plane until the object just begins to slide and record the angle at that precise moment. At this juncture, the frictional force is balanced by the weight component aligned with the incline. That is:

f=\mu\,* N = \mu * m g\, cos(\theta)

and  w_{//}= m\,g\,sin(\theta)

Consequently, the coefficient of static friction can be entirely established by calculating the tangent of the angle formed by the incline with the horizontal.

f = w_{//}\\\mu *\,m \,g\,cos(\theta) = m\,g\,sin(\theta)\\\mu = tan(\theta)

For this, the sole additional tool needed is a protractor for angle measurement.

A test car carrying a crash test dummy accelerates from 0 to 30 m/s and then crashes into a brick wall. Describe the direction o
Maru [2979]

Answer:

The direction in which a vehicle accelerates aligns with its velocity direction. However, the force of acceleration works against the car's speed.

Explanation:

The car’s initial acceleration can be found using:

v = v₀ + a t

a = (v-v₀) t

which assumes the initial speed is zero (v₀ = 0 m/s).

a = v / t

a = 300 / t

The acceleration vector matches the direction of the vehicle's movement.

Upon hitting the wall, a force is exerted in the reverse direction to halt the car, thus this acceleration opposes the vehicle’s speed. However, the module should be much greater since the stopping distance is minimal.

An atom emits a light wave with a wavelength of 449 nm. what type or color of light does this represent?
Ostrovityanka [2820]
The visible spectrum extends from 390 nm to 700 nm. It consists of the colors red (620 - 750 nm), orange (590 - 620 nm), yellow (570 - 590 nm), green (495 - 570 nm), blue (450 - 495 nm), and violet (380 - 450 nm), so a wavelength of 449 nm would correspond to a violet hue.

The momentum of an object is determined to be 7.2 × 10-3 kg⋅m/s. Express this quantity as provided or use any equivalent unit. (
Keith_Richards [2907]

Answer:

Momentum is expressed as p = 7.2 g-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

The momentum of the object is p=7.2\times 10^{-3}\ kg-m/s

We need to represent momentum in alternative equivalent units. There are various solutions to this issue. For instance, mass units can be represented in grams, milligrams, etc., and length can be in meters, millimeters, etc.

Since, 1 kg = 1000 grams

Thus, p=7.2\times 10^{-3}\times 10^3\ g-m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the object is 7.2 g-m/s. This is the solution needed.

A proposed space elevator would consist of a cable stretching from the earth's surface to a satellite, orbiting far in space, th
Ostrovityanka [2820]

In tackling this issue, we will utilize principles associated with energy conservation. We will leverage the relationship between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy to ascertain the escape velocity. The formula for gravitational potential energy is expressed as,

PE= \frac{GMm}{d}

The kinetic energy expression can be represented as,

KE= \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where,

G = 6.67*10^{-11}m^3/kg\cdot s^2Gravitational Universal Constant

m = 5.972*10^{24}kg Mass of Earth

h = 56*10^6m  Height

r = 6.378*10^6m Radius of Earth

According to energy conservation principles:

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{GMm}{d}

Rearranging this expression allows us to solve for the velocity,

v = \sqrt{\frac{2Gm}{d}} \rightarrow  The escape velocity from a specific height above the earth

If we define the height of the satellite above the earth as h, then the complete distance will be the earth's radius plus the height,

d = r+h

v = \sqrt{\frac{2Gm}{r+h}}

Substituting the values yields

v = \frac{2(6.67*10^{-11})(5.972*10^{24})}{6.378*10^6+56*10^6}

v = 3.6km/s

Thus, the escape velocity computes to 3.6 km/s
