Your neighbor Paul has rented a truck with a loading ramp. The ramp is tilted upward at 35 ∘,and Paul is pulling a large crate u

p the ramp with a rope that angles 10 ∘ above the ramp. Paul pulls with a force of 350 N. (Force is measured innewtons, abbreviated N.)

Answer:

The magnitude of the horizontal component of his force is 345 N.

The magnitude of the vertical component of his force is 60.8 N.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.

To find the horizontal and vertical component (Fx and Fy respectively) of Paul´s force (F), we have to use the trigonometry of right triangles.

Notice that Fx and Fy are respectively the adjacent and opposite sides  of the triangle formed by F, Fy and Fx (see figure).

F is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

We can apply the following trigonometric rules to obtain Fx and Fy:

cos angle = adjacent side / hypotenuse

sin angle = opposite side / hypotenuse

In our case:

cos 10° = Fx / F

F · cos 10° =Fx

350 N · cos 10° = Fx

Fx = 345 N

The magnitude of the horizontal component of his force is 345 N.

sin 10° = Fy/F

F · sin 10° = Fy

350 N · sin 10° = Fy

Fy = 60.8 N

The magnitude of the vertical component of his force is 60.8 N.

A runner circles the track exactly 2 times for distance of 800m. it takes 4.0min. what is her average speed in m/s? what is her
Sindrei [870]

If the runner ends where she started, then her total displacement is \Delta x=0\,\mathrm m, which means her average velocity will be

\bar v=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{0\,\mathrm m}{4.0\,\mathrm{min}\cdot\frac{60\,\mathrm s}{1\,\mathrm{min}}=0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

The total distance she traversed, however, was \Delta d=800\,\mathrm m, which gives her an average speed of

\bar s=\dfrac{\Delta d}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{800\,\mathrm m}{4.0\,\mathrm{min}\cdot\frac{60\,\mathrm s}{1\,\mathrm{min}}=3.3\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

A 400 gram sample of alcohol at 10o C [Ca=2.64 J/g*oC] is mixed with 400 grams of warm water [Cw=4.186 J/g*Co] at 88o C. Assume
alukav5142 [94]
The heat lost by the water will be equivalent to the energy gained by the alcohol. Thus:
maCaΔT = -mwCwΔT
400 x 2.64 x (T - 10) = 400 x 4.186 x (88 - T)
T = 57.8 °C

Whiteout friction you could not, write, drive or fly and airplane. Why not?
aleksklad [387]

friction is the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another. Due to gravity pulling everything down things need to friction in order to move
