A 25 kg box is 220 N pulled at constant speed up a frictionless inclined plane by a force that is parallel to the incline. If th
1 answer:
Answer:
F = 103.54N
Explanation:
In order to calculate the magnitude of the applied force, you take into account that the forces on the box are the applied force F and the weight of the box W.
The box moves with a constant velocity. By the Newton second law you have that the sum of forces must be equal to zero.
Furthermore, you have that the sum of forces are given by:
(1)
F: applied force = ?
W: weight of the box = Mg = (25kg)(9.8m/s^2) = 245N
θ: degree of the incline = 25°
You solve the equation (1) for F:
(2)
The applied force on the box is 103.54N

Answer:
a) The average velocity is v = (60 km/h ; 0)
b) The average speed is 60 km/h
Explanation:
The velocity is a vector that has a magnitude and direction. The average speed is the distance traveled over time without taking into account the direction of the motion.
a)The average velocity is calculated as the displacement over time:
v = Δx/Δt
where
v = velocity
Δx = final position - initial position = traveled distance relative to the center of the reference system.
Δt = final time - initial time (initial time is usually = 0)
We know that the displacement is 84 km but we do not know the time. It can be calculated from the two parts of the trip.
In part 1:
v = 45 km/h = 42 km / t
t = 0.93 h
In part 2:
v = 90 km/h = 42 km / t
t = 42 km / 90 km/h
t = 0.47 h
The time of travel is 0.47 h + 0.93 h = 1.4 h
The average velocity will be:
v = 84 km / 1.4 h = 60 km/h
Expressed as a vector in a 2-dimension plane:
v = (60 km/h; 0)
b) The average speed is calculated as the distance traveled over time. Note that in this case, the distance is equal to the displacement since the direction of the motion is always in one direction. But if the direction of the second part of the trip would have been the opposite to the direction of the first part, the displacement would have been 0 (final position - initial position = 0, because final position = initial position), then, the average velocity would have been 0. In change, the average speed would have been the distance traveled (84 km, 42 km in one direction and 42 km in the other) over time.
Then:
average speed = 84 km / 1.4 h = 60 km/h
c) see attached figure.
