Given Information:  

Inclined plane length = 8 m

Inclined plane height = 2 m

Weight of ice block = 300 N

Required Information:  

Force required to push ice block = F = ?  

Answer:  

Force required to push ice block =  75 N

Explanation:  

The force required to push this block of ice on a inclined plane is given by

F = Wsinθ

Where W is the weight of the ice block and θ is the angle as shown in the attached image.

Recall from trigonometry ratios,

sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse

Where opposite is height of the inclined plane and hypotenuse in the length of the inclined plane.

sinθ = 2/8

θ = sin⁻¹(2/8)

θ = 14.48°

F = 300*sin(14.48)

F = 75 N

Therefore, a force of 75 N is required to push this ice block on the given inclined plane.

An astronaut is in equilibrium when he is positioned 140 km from the center of asteroid C and 581 km from the center of asteroid
serg [7]

Answer:B

Explanation:

Given

Distance of astronaut From asteroid x is r_x=140 km

Distance of astronaut From asteroid Y is r_y=581 km

Suppose M,M_x,M_y be the masses of Astronaut , asteroid X and Y

If the astronaut is in equilibrium then net gravitational force on it is zero

F_x=F_y

\frac{GMM_x}{r_x^2}=\frac{GMM_y}{r_y^2}

cancel out the common terms we get

\frac{M_x}{r_x^2}=\frac{M_y}{r_y^2}

\frac{M_x}{M_y}=(\frac{r_x}{r_y})^2

\frac{M_x}{M_y}=(\frac{140}{581})^2

\frac{M_x}{M_y}=0.05806\approx 0.0581

The three forces acting on a hot-air balloon that is moving vertically are its weight, the force due to air resistance and the u
irinina [24]

Explanation :

The forces acting on hot- air balloon are:

Weight, (W)

Force due to air resistance, (F)

Upthrust force, (U)

Its weight W is acting in downward direction. The upthrust force U acts in upward direction. When the balloon is moving upward, the air resistance is in downward and vice versa.

In this case, the hot-air balloon descends vertically at constant speed.

so, a=0

and F=ma=0

so, W = F + U ....................(1)

when it is ascending let the weight that it is releasing is R, so

(W-R) + F = U..........(2)

solving equation (1) and (2)

(W-R)+F=W-F

R=2F            

2F is the weight of material that must be released from the balloon so that it ascends vertically at the same constant speed.
