AI Thread Summary
To calculate the net force (Fnet) and the coefficient of friction for the inclined plane lab, the key values provided include the mass of the cart (m = 0.949 kg), gravitational force (Fg = 9.31 N), normal force (Fn = 9.26 N), parallel force (Fpar = 0.973 N), and acceleration (a = 0.709 m/s²). The net force can be determined by subtracting frictional force from the parallel force acting on the cart. The coefficient of friction can be calculated using the formula: coefficient of friction = frictional force / normal force. Understanding these calculations will help clarify the relationship between forces acting on the cart during its motion down the incline.

i can't figure out this question? i did a lab where you roll a cart down an inclined plane.
i need to figure out Fnet the friction and the coefficient of friction.what i have so far is:
m=0.949kg
Fg=9.31N
Fn=9.26N
Fpar=0.973N
a=0.709m/s2
thanks in advance

sorry this should be in the coursework section

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
