Answer:

a) weight  of the car = 2816,1 lbs

b) 2773 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

The equilibrium force is 490 lbs. That force keep the car at rest, then

∑ Fy  =  0     and  ∑Fx  =  0

Forces acting on the car:

The external force   490 lbs

weight of the car   uknown

Normal force

sin∠10°  =  0,174

cos∠10° = 0.985

∑Fx  =  0         mg*sin10°- 490 = 0      ∑Fy =  0      mg*cos10° - N  =  0

mg*0,174= 490

mg  =  490 / 0,174

mg = 2816,1 lbs

weight  of the car = 2816,1 lbs

The Normal force

mg*cos10° - N  =  0        2816,1 * 0,985 = N

N = 2773 lbs

Then equal force in magnitude and in opposite direction will car exets on the driveway

Answer:

  16.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle internal to the triangle at B is the supplement of the one shown, so is 65°. That is equal to the angle internal to the triangle at D. Since the vertical angles at C are congruent, the two triangles are similar by the AA theorem.

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional, so we can write the proportion shown in the attachment:

  BC/FC = DC/AC

  BC = FC(DC/AC) = 21.6(7.2/9.6)

  BC = 16.2 . . . . matches the first choice

How to <br> Write <br> 3/9<br> in simplest form.
White raven [17]
To write it in simplest form, you must find a common factor.

In \frac{3}{9}, 3 is a factor of both 3 and 9

3÷3=1 and 9÷3=3

So \frac{3}{9} =  \frac{1}{3}

\frac{1}{3} is your answer in simplest form.

What is universal gravitational constant
koban [17]

Answer:

6.67408 × 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2

Step-by-step explanation:

F = G M 1 M 2 d 2 , where F is the gravitational force between two point masses, M1 and M2; d is the distance between M1 and M2; G is the universal gravitational constant, usually taken as 6.670 × 1011 m3/(kg)(s2) or 6.670 × 10−8 in centimeter–gram–second units. a = F M 1 = G M 2 r 2 .

If line segment AB represents ​25%, what is the length of a line segment that is​ 100%?
kicyunya [14]

If I am correctly understanding the question, I think the length of the line segment would be 4AB

Step-by-step explanation:

25% = 1/4

AB = 1/4

100% = 4/4

AB*4 = 4AB

Multiply AB by 4 to find the value that 100% would equal, resulting in 4AB.
