A gentle slope requires less force over a longer distance as compared to steep slope.

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage of a slope is equal to the ratio of length of slope and the height. A steep slope has shorter length as compared to a gentle slope for the same height. Therefore, mechanical advantage of a gentle slope is more than that of a steep slope. Hence, a gentle slope requires less force over a long distance than a steep slope.

A force is applied to a block sliding along a surface (Figure 2). The magnitude of the force is 15 N, and the horizontal compone

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Fy = 14.3 [N]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this problem we must know that the force is a vector and has magnitude and direction, therefore it can be decomposed into the force in the X & y components:

When we have the components on the horizontal and vertical axes we must use the Pythagorean theorem.

$F = \sqrt{F_{x}^{2} +F_{y}^{2} }$

where:

F = 15 [N]

Fx = horizontal component = 4.5 [N]

Fy = vertical component [N]

$15=\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}}\\ 15^{2}= (\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}})^{2} \\225 = 4.5^{2}+F_{y} ^{2}\\ F_{y}^{2} =225 -4.5^{2}\\ F_{y}^{2}=204.75\\F_{y}=\sqrt{204.75}\\ F_{y}=14.3 [N]$

Key difference of the celsius scale and kevin scale

mixer [17]

Their 'degrees' are the same size. The difference between the Celsius
and Kelvin scales is their zero-point. Zero Kelvin is the absolute zero of
nature and Physics. Zero Celsius is the melting/freezing point of water,
273.15 higher than absolute zero.
