Describe how varying the incline plane angle Affects the force

Physics
1 answer:
Greeley [361]4 years ago
4 0

Answer: the force increases as the angle increases

Explanation:

If we assume the incline plane is frictionless, the only force acting on an object on the incline plane is the force of gravity:

F=mg

where m is the mass and g the acceleration due to gravity.

However, the actual force that makes the object sliding down along the incline is not the gravity itself, but the component of the force of gravity parallel to the surface of the incline, which is given by

F_p = mg sin \theta

where \theta is the angle of the incline.

Therefore, we see that as the angle of the incline increases, the force on the object increases.

Two wooden crates rest on top of one another. The smaller top crate has a mass of m1 = 25 kg and the larger bottom crate has a m
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the bigger crate be in touch with the ground which is friction less. In the first case both m₁ and m₂ will move with common acceleration because m₁ is not sliding over m₂.

1 ) Common acceleration a = force / total mass

= 234 / ( 25 +91 )

= 2.017 m s⁻².

2 ) Force on m₁ accelerating it , which is nothing but friction force on it by m₂

= mass x acceleration

= 25 x 2.017

= 50.425 N

The same force will be applied by m₁ on m₂ as friction force which will act in opposite direction.

3 ) Maximum friction force that is possible between m₁ and m₂

= μ_s m₁g

= .79 x 25 x 9.8

= 193.55 N

Acceleration of m₁

= 193 .55 / 25

= 7.742 m s⁻²

This is the common acceleration in case of maximum tension required

So tension in rope

= ( 25 +91 ) x 7.742

= 898 N

4 ) In case of upper crate sliding on m₂ , maximum friction force on m₁

=  μ_k m₁g

= .62 x 25 x 9.8

= 151.9 N

Acceleration of m₁

= 151.9 / 25

= 6.076 m s⁻².

Perhaps to confuse a predator, some tropical gyrinid beetles(whirligig beetles) are colored by optical interference that is duet
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The grating spacing of the beetle is 1.078*10^{-6}m

Explanation:

The concept to solve this problem is relate to interference effect given in the Young's Slits. Here was demonstrated that the length of the side labelled \lambda is known as the path difference. The equation is given by,

n\lambda = dsin\theta

Where,

\lambda= wavelenght of light

N = a positive integer: 1,2,3...

\theta = Angle from the center of the wall to the dark spot

d= width of the slit

Replacing our values we have that for n=1,

dsin\theta = n\lambda

dsin(30)=(1)(539*10^{-9})

d=1.078*10^{-6}m

Therefore the grating spacing of the beetle is 1.078*10^{-6}m

an incandescent lightbulb has an efficiency of 2.1% and a power of 60 w. how much light energy does the lighbulb produce in 1 se
AveGali [126]

Explanation:

Power output of the bulb:

0.021 × 60 W = 1.26 W

Energy produced by the bulb in 1 second:

E = Pt

E = (1.26 W) (1 s)

E = 1.26 J

Round as needed.

A cat walks along a plank with mass M= 7.00 kg. The plank is supported by two sawhorses. The center of mass of the plank is a di
solong [7]

Answer:

Before the plank will tip cat will walk 1.652 m

Explanation:

Mass of the cat along with plank m_1=7kg

Center of mass of the plank d_1=0.850m

Mass of cat m_2=3.6kg

We have to find how far right of sawhorse B.

Plank will tip when weight of the cat about B is greater than the torque by the weight of the plank.

Balancing the the torque

m_1gd_1=m_1gd_2

7\times 9.8\times 0.850=3.6\times 9.8\times d_2

d_2=1.652m

. A water balloon is thrown horizontally at a speed of 2.00 m/s from the roof of a building that is 6.00m above the ground. At t
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Height of building

H = 6m

Horizontal speed of first balloon

U1x = 2m/s

Second ballot is thrown straight downward at a speed of

U2y = 2m/s

Time each gallon hits the ground

Balloon 1.

Using equation of free fall

H = Uoy•t + ½gt²

Uox = 0 since the body does not have vertical component of velocity

6 = ½ × 9.8t²

6 = 4.9t²

t² = 6 / 4.9

t² = 1.224

t = √1.224

t = 1.11 seconds

For second balloon

H = Uoy•t + ½gt²

6 = 2t + ½ × 9.8t²

6 = 2t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 2t —6 = 0

Using formula method to solve the quadratic equation

Check attachment

From the solution we see that,

t = 0.9211 and t = -1.329

We will discard the negative value of time since time can't be negative here

So the second balloon get to the ground after t ≈ 0.92 seconds

Conclusion

The water ballon that was thrown straight down at 2.00 m/s hits the ground first by 1.11 s - 0.92s = 0.19 s.
