<h2>Answer with Explanation </h2>

The reason of this is because the shape of the Earth is spherical, this causes the Earth’s surface to get struck by the sun’s rays at different angles, creating different variants in temperatures on Earth. A perpendicular (90 degrees) angle to the Earth is formed when the equator receives intense sunlight directly as compared to the poles. At the poles, upto period of 24 hours.

A highway curves to the left with radius of curvature of 36 m and is banked at 28 ◦ so that cars can take this curve at higher s
iVinArrow [24]

Answer: 30.34m/s

Explanation:

The sum of forces in the y direction 0 = N cos 28 - μN sin28 - mg

Sum of forces in the x direction

mv²/r = N sin 28 + μN cos 28

mv²/r = N(sin 28 + μcos 28)

Thus,

mv²/r = mg [(sin 28 + μ cos 28)/(cos 28 - μ sin 28)]

v²/r = g [(sin 28 + μ cos 28)/(cos 28 - μ sin 28)]

v²/36 = 9.8 [(0.4695 + 0.87*0.8829) - (0.8829 - 0.87*0.4695)]

v²/36 = 9.8 [(0.4695 + 0.7681) / (0.8829 - 0.4085)]

v²/36 = 9.8 (1.2376/0.4744)

v²/36 = 9.8 * 2.6088

v²/36 = 25.57

v² = 920.52

v = 30.34m/s

Which of the following is true A. If the sum of the external forces on an object is zero, then the object must be in equilibrium
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

A. If the sum of the external forces on an object is zero, then the object must be in equilibrium

Explanation:

Equilibrium, in physics, the condition of a system when neither its state of motion nor its internal energy state tends to change with time.

For a single particle, equilibrium arises if the vector sum of all forces acting upon the particle is zero.

the object is at equilibrium, then the net force acting upon the object should be 0 Newton. Thus, if all the forces are added together as vectors, then the resultant force (the vector sum) should be 0 Newton.

There are three types of equilibrium: stable, unstable, and neutral
