In a plate glass factory, sheets of glass move along a conveyor belt at a speed of 15.0 cm/s. An automatic cutting tool descends
Leni [432]

Answer:

angle at which the cutter should be set = 32°

Explanation:

We are given;

Speed of conveyor belt; v1 = 15 cm/s

Width;w = 72 cm

Speed of the cutter that moves across the width; v2 = 24 cm/s

Let's calculate time;

Since the width and the rate at which the cutter works per seconds is given, thus;

Time = w/v2

Time = 72/24 = 3 seconds

Now, we know that, velocity = distance/time

Thus, distance = velocity x time

So, distance covered;d = 15 x 3 = 45 cm

Now, for us to calculate the angle the cutter should be set, we would treat it as a triangle.

When the cutter cuts it, it covers a distance d which is perpendicular to the width.

Thus, to calculate the angle made with the width, we'll use trigonometric ratio.

Thus, d/w = tan θ where θ is the angle at which the cutter should be set.

So, 45/72 = tan θ

tan θ = 0.625

θ = tan^(-1)0.625

θ = 32°

How much potential energy does a 50-N box have when lifted at a height of 1.5M?
nikitadnepr [17]

The correct answer is: Option (A) 75 J

Explanation:

First, be careful with the units here. As you can see it is mentioned that there is a 50N box. It means that the weight (<em>mg</em>) of the box is given as the unit is <em>Newton</em>, not its mass (which is in kg).

As,

Potential-energy = mass * acceleration-due-to-gravity * height

PE = m*g*h --- (A)


In equation (A), mg is actually the weight of the box, which is given.

mg = 50N

h = height = 1.5m

Plug the values in equation (A):

PE = 50 * 1.5  = <em>75 J (Option A)</em>
