A 1150 kg car is on a 8.70° hill. using x-y axis tilted down the plane, what is the x-component of the weight?

I assume the x-y axis are tilted such that the x-axis is parallel to the surface of the hill while the y-axis is perpendicular to it.

In this case, the x-component of the weight is given by:
W_x =mg \sin \theta
where
m is the mass of the car
g is the acceleration of gravity
\theta is the angle of the hill

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find
W_x=(1150 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(\sin 8.70^{\circ})=1706 N

 How does ​energy change (transforms) as the mass is dropping?
olganol [36]

Answer:

Mass has total mechanical energy, which is the sum of kinetic and potential energy. as the mass is dropping, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy so mechanical energy is preserved If there is no friction. If there is friction, some of the mechanical energy is lost as heat energy so it changes.

The current theory of the structure of the Earth, called plate tectonics, tells us that the continents are in constant motion.
lesya [120]

Answer:

(a) m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg

(b) K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J

(c) v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s

Explanation:

(a)

First we find the volume of the continent:

V = L*W*H

where,

V = Volume  of Slab = ?

L = Length of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m

W = Width of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m

H = Height of Slab = 31 km = 3.1 x 10⁴ m

Therefore,

V = (4.45 x 10⁶ m)(4.45 x 10⁶ m)(3.1 x 10⁴ m)

V = 6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³

Now, we find the mass:

m = density*V

m = (2620 kg/m³)(6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³)

<u>m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg</u>

<u></u>

(b)

The kinetic energy will be:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

where,

v = speed = (1 cm/year)(0.01 m/1 cm)(1 year/365 days)(1 day/24 h)(1 h/3600 s)

v = 3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s

Therefore,

K.E = (1/2)(1.6 x 10²¹ kg)(3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s)²

<u>K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J</u>

<u></u>

(c)

For the same kinetic energy but mass = 77 kg:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

2.536 x 10¹¹ J = (1/2)(77 kg)v²

v = √(2)(2.536 x 10¹¹ J)

<u>v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s</u>

Jake calculates that the frequency of a wave is 230 hertz, and its wave is moving at 460 m/s. What is the wavelength of the wave
Nesterboy [21]

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) = (460 m/s) / (230/sec) = <em>2 meters</em>

Which statement describes the kinetic energy of a particle?
worty [1.4K]
Kinetic energy has nothing to do with anything other than motion of the particle.
When a particle with velocity v collides another particle(suppose it is at rest for simplication), assuming that there is perfectly elastic collision between them, the velocity of particle which was at rest becomes mv/M ( assuming mass of particle in motion to be m and at rest to be M) from convervation of linear momentum. And all this transfer of energy happens in a fraction of seconds which is not visible to naked eyes.

Hence 1st option is correct!
