PE=mgh
180=0.5*10*h
180=5h
h=180/5=36 m

A box at rest is in a state of equilibrium half way up on a ramp. The ramp has an incline of 42° . What is the force of static f

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The force of static friction acting on the box is the frictional force;

Frictional force Ff = Wsin theta (force acting along the ramp)

W is the gravitational force known as the weight

Ff = 112.1sin42°

Ff = 112.1(0.6691)

Ff = 75.00N

Hence he force of static friction acting on the box if box has a gravitational force of 112.1 N id 75.00N

Select the correct answer. G = 6.67 × 10-11 N·m2/kg2 Me = 5.598 × 1024 kg What is the velocity of an Earth satellite that is in

zzz [600]

Centripetal force of satellite = gravitational force between earth and the satellite
(m•v^2)/r = (G•Me•m)/r^2
v^2 = (G•Me)/r
v^2 = 6.67x10^-11 x 5.598x10^24 / 7.5x10^7
v = 2231 m/s

so answer is B

the two forces acting on a falling object are gravity and?....1.force, 2. friction, 3. air resistance, and 4. net force?

Vsevolod [243]

In free fall, the only force acting on an object is gravity. The force of gravity is an unbalanced force, which causes an object to accelerate. In the absence of air, two objects with different masses fall at exactly the same rate of acceleration.

seraphim [82]

Power is the work performed divided by time in seconds. The work is the force times distance:
$W=Fd=1400*200=280000J$

the time in seconds is 60*11+30=690s so the power is

$P=\frac{280000J }{690s}=405.8W$

So choice B

A car is traveling north at 17.7m/s After 12 s its velocity is 14.1m/s in the same direction. Find the magnitude and direction o

Nat2105 [25]

The car is initially traveling north at 17.7 m/s, and after 12 s, its velocity is 14.1 m/s, still due north. This means that the direction of the car has not changed, so we can already say that the direction of the acceleration is north (if the magnitude of the acceleration is positive) or south (if the magnitude of the acceleration is negative).

To find the magnitude of the average acceleration, we must calculate the ratio between the change in velocity and the time taken:

$a=\frac{v_f -v_i}{t}=\frac{14.1 m/s-17.7 m/s}{12 s}=-0.3 m/s^2$

Since the acceleration is negative, it means it is in the opposite direction to the motion of the car, therefore south. Therefore, the correct answer is

b) 0.30 m/s2, south
