    Energy loss and inclined planes

    Homework Statement A trolley is of mass 20kg is pushed 35 metres up an inclined plane (to a height of 10m above ground level). The inclined plane is at arcsin(2/7) to the horizontal. A 100N force pushes the trolley to the top of the plane, the force being parallel to the inclined plane. The...

    Work Done/Power/Efficiency on an inclined plane

    Many thanks for the replies, very much appreciated. The question only stated that the initial velocity is 0m/s. There's a diagram also which doesn't display any frictional force, or any resistance force for that matter. I was just slightly unsure with the limited information really. Another...

    Work Done/Power/Efficiency on an inclined plane

    Homework Statement A toy car of mass 20kg is pushed up the entirety of a 35m slope, inclined at an angle of arcsin(2/7) to the horizontal. The height at the top of the slope is 10m. The applied force which pushes the car up the slope is 100N, initially, the toy car is stationary...

    Work done down an inclined plane

    Homework Statement A toy car of mass 20kg moves down a slope of length 35m, which is inclined at arcsin(2/7) to the horizontal. The height of the car initially is 10m, and a constant frictional force of 100N acts against the car through motion. Calculate the work done, power and efficiency of...

    How Is Maximum Kinetic Energy Calculated for an Electric Bicycle with a Rider?

    Yeah, through working out the KE via 1/2mv^2 it obtains a value of 1980J. But for some reason, this seems far too small considering this energy can carry the rider 32km also? Would I be correct in thinking this value for KE is also the total energy stored by the battery? Also, there are no more...

    How Is Maximum Kinetic Energy Calculated for an Electric Bicycle with a Rider?

    Homework Statement An engineer was to design a bicycle that can be powered only by an electric motor. The bicycle can carry an 80kg rider at a maximum speed of 6m/s. Under these conditions the maximum distance the bicycle can cover before the battery needs to be recharged is 32km. The...

    Question regarding a double slit experiment

    From what I am aware, β is the fringe width and I'm truly not sure what Yo even is, possibly the width of intensity?

    Question regarding a double slit experiment

    Homework Statement The question is as follows, I'm truly stuck where to start here, any help would be much appreciated: A transparent paper of refractive index 1.45 and thickness 0.02mm is pasted on one of the slits of a double slit experiment. Monochromatic light of wavelength 620nm is...

    Issue with an aspect of moments and reactionary force

    My main issue here is determining the correct reaction force, I'm truly lost as to where I'm making a mistake? The question is: A uniform rod of length 2m and mass 5kg is connected to a vertical wall by a smooth hinge at A and a wire CB as shown. If a 10kg mass is attached to D, find: The...

    Issue with understanding aspects of moments

    Hi all, currently having a few issues with understanding a few aspects of questions involving normal reactions at angles. Just an example of where I am going wrong: 'A loft door OA of weight 100N is propped open at 50 degrees to the horizontal by a strut AB. The door is hinged at O...

    Electronics/Power supply assignment questions

    Brilliant, thanks for your reply and confirmation! There's also two more questions I'm slightly apprehensive about, I'm also unsure whether the first refers to a full-wave/half-wave with a capacitor? Q1: Explain filter circuits to remove ripples. Q2: Explain the use of stabilising...
