Answer:


Inclined Plane


Explanation:


An inclined plane, also known as a ramp, is a flat supporting surface tilted at an angle, with one end higher than the other, used as an aid for raising or lowering a load. The inclined plane is one of the six classical simple machines.


The basic principle of Inclined pane is as follows


W = F x D ( Force times Distance)


where W shows the word done.

A semicircular plate with radius 6 m is submerged vertically in water so that the top is 2 m above the surface. Express the hydr
dalvyx [7]

Answer: 313920

Explanation:First, we’re going to assume that the top of the circular plate surface is 2 meters under the water. Next, we will set up the axis system so that the origin of the axis system is at the center of the plate.

Finally, we will again split up the plate into n horizontal strips each of width Δy and we’ll choose a point y∗ from each strip. Attached to this is a sketch of the set up.

The water’s surface is shown at the top of the sketch. Below the water’s surface is the circular plate and a standard xy-axis system is superimposed on the circle with the center of the circle at the origin of the axis system. It is shown that the distance from the water’s surface and the top of the plate is 6 meters and the distance from the water’s surface to the x-axis (and hence the center of the plate) is 8 meters.

The depth below the water surface of each strip is,

di = 8 − yi

and that in turn gives us the pressure on the strip,

Pi =ρgdi = 9810 (8−yi)

The area of each strip is,

Ai = 2√4− (yi) 2Δy

The hydrostatic force on each strip is,

Fi = Pi Ai=9810 (8−yi) (2) √4−(yi)² Δy

The total force on the plate is found on the attached image.

22) A driver traveling at 80 km/h brakes her 2000 kg truck to stop for a red light. How much internal energy is produced
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

E=4.9\times 10^5\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of a driver, v = 80 km/h = 22.22 m/s

The mass of the truck, m = 2000 kg

We need to find how much internal energy is produced. The internal energy produced by a truck is its kinetic energy and it is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot22.22^{2}\cdot2000\\\\E=493728.4\ J

or

E=4.9\times 10^5\ J

So, 4.9\times 10^5\ J of internal energy is produced.
