Answer: 580 N

Refer to attached figure.

The angle of inclination is 22 degrees

weight (gravitational force) acts downwards.

Normal force is a contact force which acts perpendicular to the point of contact.

The horizontal component (mg cos 22 ) balances the normal force and the vertical component balances the frictional force.

Gravitational force on an object = mg

The normal force $N= mg cos 22$

$\Rightarrow mg =\frac{N}{cos22}=\frac{538 N}{0.927}=580 N$

Answer

580

Explanation

The gravitational force acts perpendicularly downwards (towards the center of the earth).

The normal force of the box is perpendicular to the slanting ramp. This force we are given 538 N.

The gravitational force is the component of this 538 N.

∴ Cos22° = 538/Y Where y is the gravitational force.

Cos22° = 538/Y

Y× Cos22° = 538

Y = 538/Cos22°

= 580.25

Answer to the nearest whole number = 580.

If the speed of a car is increased by 80%, by what factor will its minimum braking distance be increased, assuming all else is t

Vikki [24]

Answer:

$KE_2=3.24 \times KE_1$

Explanation:

given,

Speed of car = v

new speed of car v'= 1.8 v

Kinetic energy of the car

$KE_1 =\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

new Kinetic energy of energy

$KE_2 =\dfrac{1}{2}mv'^2$

$KE_2=\dfrac{1}{2}m(1.8v)^2$

$KE_2=3.24 \times \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE_2=3.24 \times KE_1$

hence, the kinetic energy is increased by the factor of 3.24.

Room temperature water is placed in an Erlenmyer flask and heated to the boiling point. After the flask is removed from the heat

Vaselesa [24]

Explanation:

When water is boiled in the flask . Some portion of it is evaporated out . Now when cork is placed on it and is placed in the ice box . It cools down , by which the pressure inside decreases .

Due to decrease of pressure , the boiling point of water also decreases . Now it can boil at lower temperature . Thus it starts boiling at lower temperature even , when placed in the ice box .
