B

Assume north and east as two sides of a right angled triangle. magnitude of the distance is then given by the length of the hypotenuse which is \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}

where a = 1.2 km north

and b = 1.6 km east

magnitude = 2 km

Direction is given by the angle between them, that is atan(a/b) = 36.86 deg north of east = 53.1 deg east of north.

A 18.4-kg box rests on a frictionless ramp with a 16.1° slope. The mover pulls on a rope attached to the box to pull it up the i
laiz [17]

Answer:

F= 56,1 N :

Explanation:

We apply Newton's first law for balancing forces system.

We take the x axis in the direction of the ramp with a 16.1° slope.

∑Fx= 0

∑Fx: algebraic sum of forces ( + to the right, - to the left)  

Problem development:

Look at the free body diagram :

The only forces that act on the box are the weight and tension of the rope because there is no friction.

T: Rope tension (N)

W :Box weight (N)

∑Fx= 0

Tx-Wx=0

Tx =Tcos( 43.2°- 16.1°)= Tcos ( 27.1°)

Wx= W*sen  16.1°= m*g*sen  16.1°=18.4*9.8* sen  16.1° = 50N

Tcos ( 27.1°)-50=0

Tcos ( 27.1°) = 50

T = (50) / (cos ( 27.1°))

T = 56,1 N

T=F= 56,1 N

What is the meaning of Constant Acceleration?
lora16 [44]

Any change in speed or direction of motion is acceleration.

Constant acceleration can mean ...

-- speeding up at a constant rate . . . gaining the same amount
of speed each second.

-- slowing down at a constant rate . . . losing the same amount
of speed each second.

-- changing direction at a constant rate . . . for example, going
around a circular path at a constant speed.

Answer:

car B will be 30 Km ahead of car A.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the distance travelled by each car. This is illustrated below:

For car A:

Speed = 40 km/h

Time = 3 hours

Distance =?

Speed = distance / time

40 = distance / 3

Cross multiply

Distance = 40 × 3

Distance = 120 Km

For car B:

Speed = 50 km/h

Time = 3 hours

Distance =?

Speed = distance / time

50 = distance / 3

Cross multiply

Distance = 50 × 3

Distance = 150 Km

Finally, we shall determine the distance between car B an car A. This can be obtained as follow:

Distance travelled by car B (D₆) = 150 Km

Distance travelled by car A (Dₐ) = 120 Km

Distance apart =?

Distance apart = D₆ – Dₐ

Distance apart = 150 – 120

Distance apart = 30 Km

Therefore, car B will be 30 Km ahead of car A.
