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

PLSSS HELP ME WITH MATH
labwork [276]

Step-by-step explanation:

always remember, equations and inequalities are like a scale with 2 pans (left and right).

a variable is like a placeholder, an empty spot on the pans. and the expressions on both sides are kind of the conditions for the things to put in these empty spots so that the status of the scale stays unchanged.

for an equation the scale has to stay balanced all the time.

and in an inequality one side is heavier that the other (it normally does not matter how much heavier) with "<" or ">" signs, or the scale can be also balanced with "<=" or ">=" signs. just the other side must never be heavier.

A

so, in our case here

2x - 5 = 3

yes, the solution (the ONLY solution, actually) is x = 4. no other value of x allows the scale to be balanced.

2x - 5 >= 3

well, since it is a ">=" sign, we can be lazy and treat it like the equation above, and x = 4 is therefore a valid solution for the inequality too.

but so is every other value of x that makes the left side "heavier". what about e.g. 5 ?

2×5 - 5 >= 3

10 - 5 >= 3

5 >= 3

true, great ! so, e.g. x = 5 is also a valid solution.

what else ?

let's simplify the inequality

2x - 5 >= 3

2x >= 8

x >= 4

so, really every value of x that is greater or equal to 4 is a valid solution for the inequality.

B

-2x - 5 = 3

yes, the solution (the ONLY solution, actually) is x = -4. no other value of x allows the scale to be balanced.

-2x - 5 >= 3

well, since it is a ">=" sign, we can be lazy and treat it like the equation above, and x = -4 is therefore a valid solution for the inequality too.

but so is every other value of x that makes the left side "heavier". what about e.g. -5 ?

-2×-5 - 5 >= 3

remember, -×- = +

10 - 5 >= 3

5 >= 3

true, great ! so, e.g. x = -5 is also a valid solution.

what else ?

let's simplify the inequality

-2x - 5 >= 3

-2x >= 8

x <= -4

a multiplication or division by a negative value flips the inequality sign, because such an operation makes a light weight heavy and a heavy weight light.

so, really every value of x that is less or equal to -4 is a valid solution for the inequality.

When constructing a perpendicular bisector why must the compass opening be greater than 1/2.
muminat

It is critical to open a compass with over half the way in order for the arcs formed to meet for perpendicular bisector.

<h3>What is perpendicular bisector?</h3>

A perpendicular bisector would be a line that cuts a line segment in half and forms a 90-degree angle at the intersection point. In other words, a perpendicular bisector separates a line segment now at midpoint, forming a 90-degree angle.

Now, consider an example;

When you wish to build a perpendicular line on a line segment, like line AB, you do the following;

  1. Set the compass on a radius more than half the length of the line AB.
  2. Using A as your center, draw an arc above and below line AB.
  3. With the same radius and B as our center, draw additional arcs on top or below line AB to join a first arcs on the both side of the line.
  4. Join the two arc intersections to cut line AB at M.

A line AB appears to be bisected perpendicularly as a result. The arcs would not have met if the compass is opened less than half way down line AB.
