Answer:

F > W * sin(α)

Explanation:

The force needed for the box to start sliding up depends on the incline (α).

The external forces acting on the box would be the weight, the normal reaction and the lifting force that is applied to make it slide up.

These forces can be decomposed on their normal and tangential (to the slide plane) components.

The weight will be split into

Wn = W * cos(α) (in normal direction)

Wt = W * sin(α) (in tangential direction)

The normal reaction will be alligned with the normal axis, and will be equal to -Wn

N = -W* cos(α) (in normal direction)

To mke the box slide up, a force must be applied, that is opposite to the tangential component of the weight and at least a little larger

F > |-W * sin(α)| (in tangential direction)

Calculate the amount of momentum of an object with a mass of 10 kg travelling al a
irina [24]

Answer:

50kg.m/s

Explanation:

In order to find momentum you must use the formula P=mv

p= momentum

m=mass

v= velocity

so in other words, momentum= mass times velocity

or in this case, momentum= 10 times 5  :)

What is another way of saying “getting the smallest possible force”?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

MOMENTUM

Explanation:

another way of saying getting the smallest force possible is the word " MOMENTUM".

momentum is the ability to keep maintaining,incresing or itself developing to move at constant speed or to increase the speed.

Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, so that objects on its surface execute uniform circular motion about the axis wit
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

v=1667.9km/h

a_{cp}=436.6km/h^2

Explanation:

The speed is the distance traveled divided by the time taken. The distance traveled in 24hs while standing on the equator is the circumference of the Earth C=2\pi R, where R=6371km is the radius of the Earth.

We have then:

v=\frac{C}{t}=\frac{2\pi R}{t}=\frac{2\pi (6371km)}{(24h)}=1667.9km/h

And then we use the centripetal acceleration formula:

a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{R}=\frac{(1667.9km/h)^2}{(6371km)}=436.6km/h^2
