The unit of N is 238.8

What is unit ?

an individual thing or person regarded as single and complete but which can be a also form the an be individual component of a larger or more complex the whole.

Sol-On an inclined plane, component of the weight i.e. gravitational force acting in opposite direction to normal force is mgcos\thetamgcosθ and the component acting down the inclined plane is mgsin\theta.mgsinθ.

It is given that the weight of the block is, mg= 242.N

The angle made with the inclined plane is 37.2°

\Rightarrow mgsin\theta = 242.N N sin 37.2°/^o =238 N⇒mgsinθ=242.N?Nsin42.9

o

=238.8N

Hence, the component of the gravitational force acting down the inclined plane is 238.8 N.

At t = 0, object A is dropped from the roof of a building. At the same instant, object B is dropped from a window 10 m below the

dsp73

Answer:

Explanation:

Given two objects are dropped simultaneously

Object A is 10 m higher than object B therefore

Distance covered by object A is given by

$y_a(t)$ is given by

$y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where y=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

$y_a(t)=0+0.5gt^2--1$

for object B

$y_b(t)=0+0.5gt^2--2$

Subtract 1 and 2 we get

$y_a(t)-y_b(t)=0$

i.e. they will travel equal distance in equal time and distance between them remain 10 m until object B hits the ground

If two vectors are perpendicular to each other, how should you add them?

Aleksandr [31]

Let us consider two vectors A and B.

As per the question, the two vectors are perpendicular to each other.

Hence the angle between them $\theta =90 degree$

We are asked to calculate the resultant of these two vectors.

As per parallelogram law of vector addition, the resultant of two vectors are-

$R=\sqrt{A^{2}+ B^{2}+2ABcos\theta$

$=\sqrt{ A^{2}+ B^{2}+2AB*cos90}$ [cos90=0]

$=\sqrt{ A^{2}+ B^{2}$

This is the way by which we can add two perpendicular vectors.

A very long solid insulating cylinder has radius R = 0.1 m and uniform charge density rho0= 10-3 C/m3. Find the electric field a

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

$E = (0.56 \times 10^8 ) r \ \ N/c$

Explanation:

Given that:

$\rho_o = (10^{-3} ) \ c/m^3$

R = (0.1) m

To find the electric field for r < R by using Gauss Law

${\oint}E^{\to}* da^{\to} = \dfrac{Q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon_o} --- (1)$

For r < R

$Q_{enclosed}=(\rho) ( \pi r^2 ) l$

$E*(2 \pi rl)= \dfrac{\rho ( \pi r ^2 l)}{\varepsilon_o}$

$E= \dfrac{\rho ( r)}{2 \varepsilon_o}$

where;

$\varepsilon_o = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}$

$E= \dfrac{10^{-3} ( r)}{2 (8.85 \times 10^{-12})}$

$E= \dfrac{10^{-3} ( r)}{2 (8.85 \times 10^{-12})}$

$E = (0.56 \times 10^8 ) r \ \ N/c$

A projectile is fired with a velocity of 22 m/s at an angle of 25°. What is the vertical component of the velocity?

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Vertical component of velocity is 9.29 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of projection of a projectile, v = 22 m/s

It is fired at an angle of 22°

The horizontal component of velocity is v cosθ

The vertical component of velocity is v sinθ

So, vertical component is given by :

$v_y=v\ sin(25)$

$v_y=22\ m/s\times\ sin(25)$

$v_y=9.29\ m/s$

Hence, the vertical component of the velocity is 9.29 m/s
