Gravity pulls on the object in the downward direction. The normal force to the inclined plane points in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the plane. Then for the object to be at rest, the frictional force must act parallel to the inclined plane, pointing in the upward direction.

Answer:

1 m = 39.37 in = 39.37/12 ft = 3.28 ft

V = 1145 k/hr = 1145k/hr * 6076 ft/k = 6957020 ft / hr

V = 6957020 ft/hr / 3600 s/hr = 1933 ft/sec

V = 1933 ft/sec / (3.28 ft / m) = 589 m/s

Check:

88 ft/sec = 60 mph

(1145 k/hr * 6076 ft / k) 3600 sec/hr = 1933 ft/sec = 589 m/s

1933 ft/sec / (88 ft/sec) * 60 mph = 1318 mph

Also, 1318 / 1145 = 6076 / 5280 as it should

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begin

Mashutka [201]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begins to move. Then the force (in newtons) exerted by the expanding gas on the bullet is $14,000 + 10,000x − 26,000x^{2}$ , where x is in meters. Determine the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel.
