Use the right equation. To calculate the normal force of an object at an angle, you need to use the formula: N = m * g * cos (x) For this equation, N refers to the normal force, m refers to the object's mass, g refers to the acceleration of gravity, and x refers to the angle of incline.
Answer:
the rate of the change of the length of the shadow is - 0.8625 m/s.
The negative(-) sign means the length of the shadow decreases at a rate of 0.8625 m/s.
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Let x represent the man's distance from building,
initially x = 1m2
dx/d t= -2.3 m/s
Also Let y represent shadow height
so we determine dy/dt when x is 4m from the building
form the image description of the problem, we see two-like triangles with the same base and height ratios
so
2 / (12-x) = y / 12
24 = y(12 - x )
y = 24 / (12-x)
dy/dt = 24/(12-x)² × dx/dt
Now at x = 4,
we substitute
dy/dt will be;
⇒ 24/(12 - 4)² × -2.3
= 24/64 - 2.3
= 0.375 × -2.3
dy/dt = - 0.8625 m/s
Therefore, the rate of the change of the length of the shadow is - 0.8625 m/s.
The negative(-) sign means the length of the shadow decreases at a rate of 0.8625 m/s.
Setting reference frame so that the x axis is along the incline and y is perpendicular to the incline
<span>X: mgsin65 - F = mAx </span>
<span>Y: N - mgcos65 = 0 (N is the normal force on the incline) N = mgcos65 (which we knew) </span>
<span>Moment about center of mass: </span>
<span>Fr = Iα </span>
<span>Now Ax = rα </span>
<span>and F = umgcos65 </span>
<span>mgsin65 - umgcos65 = mrα -------------> gsin65 - ugcos65 = rα (this is the X equation m's cancel) </span>
<span>umgcos65(r) = 0.4mr^2(α) -----------> ugcos65(r) = 0.4r(rα) (This is the moment equation m's cancel) </span>
<span>ugcos65(r) = 0.4r(gsin65 - ugcos65) ( moment equation subbing in X equation for rα) </span>
<span>ugcos65 = 0.4(gsin65 - ugcos65) </span>
<span>1.4ugcos65 = 0.4gsin65 </span>
<span>1.4ucos65 = 0.4sin65 </span>
<span>u = 0.4sin65/1.4cos65 </span>
<span>u = 0.613 </span>
Answer:
Light's angle of refraction = 37.1° (Approx.)
Explanation:
Given:
Index of refraction = 1.02
Base of refraction = 1
Angle of incidence = 38°
Find:
Light's angle of refraction
Computation:
Using Snell's law;
Sin[Angle of incidence] / Sin[Light's angle of refraction] = Index of refraction / Base of refraction
Sin38 / Light's angle of refraction = 1.02 / 1
Sin[Light's angle of refraction] = Sin 38 / 1.02
Sin[Light's angle of refraction] = [0.6156] / 1.02
Sin[Light's angle of refraction] = 0.6035
Light's angle of refraction = 37.1° (Approx.)
