ice weighing 300.0 N up the plane

Physics

adoni [48]3 years ago

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.

After driving a portion of the route, the taptap is fully loaded with a total of 27 people including the driver, with an average
belka [17]

We will define the Total mass to calculate the force, so our values are:M_p = 69*27=1823Kg\\M_g=15*3=45Kg\\M_c=3*5=15Kg\\M_B=25Kg

Total Mass = 1863+45+15+25=1948Kg

The Weight is,

F=mg=1948*98=19090.4N

Through the hook's Law we calculate X.

F_s=Kx, where x is the lenght of compression and K the Spring constant.

We don't have a K-Spring, but we can assume a random value (or simply let the equation in function of K)

X = \frac{F_s}{x} \\X = \frac{1909.4}{k}

I assume a value of K=4*10^4N/m

X= \frac{1909.4}{4*10^4} = 0.48m

A yet-to-be-built spacecraft starts from Earth moving at constant speed to the yet-tobe-discovered planet Retah, which is 20 lig
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The  time elapsed at the spacecraft’s frame is less that the time elapsed at earth's  frame

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance between earth and Retah is  d = 20 \ light \ hours =  20 * 3600 *  c =  72000c \ m

Here c is the peed of light with value c =  3.0*10^8 m/s

The time taken to reach Retah from earth is  t =  25 \ hours  =  25 * 3600 =90000 \ sec

The velocity of the spacecraft is mathematically evaluated  as

     v_s =  \frac{d }{t}

substituting values

   v_s =  \frac{72000 * 3.0*10^{8} }{90000}

    v_s =  2.40*10^{8} \ m/s

The time elapsed in the spacecraft’s frame is mathematically evaluated as

      T  =  t *  \sqrt{ 1 -  \frac{v^2}{c^2} }

substituting value

       T  =  90000 *  \sqrt{ 1 -  \frac{[2.4*10^{8}]^2}{[3.0*10^{8}]^2} }

        T = 54000 \ s

=>    T  = 15 \ hours

So  The  time elapsed at the spacecraft’s frame is less that the time elapsed at earth's  frame

Who conducted the study?

Explanation:

One good question to ask the toothpaste making company is who conducted the study?

A company making toothpaste claiming a scientific study revealed that their toothpaste makes the mouth five times cleaner must have introduced a bias in this finding.

  • For a scientific study to be accepted and substantiated, it must have been tested and repeated by other scientists.
  • If no other scientist confirms this, then there is an obvious bias in the claim and it is not scientific.

A 4-lb ball b is traveling around in a circle of radius r1 = 3 ft with a speed (vb)1 = 6 ft>s. if the attached cord is pulled
Leya [2.2K]
Position #1:
radius, r₁ = 3 ft
Tangential speed, v₁ = 6 ft/s

By definition, the angular speed is
ω₁ = v₁/r₁ = (3 ft/s) / (3 ft) = 1 rad/s

Position #2:
Radius, r₂ = 2 ft

By definition, the moment of inertia in positions 1 and 2 are respectively
I₁ = (4 lb)*(3 ft)² = 36 lb-ft²
I₂ = (4 lb)*(2 ft)² = 16 lb-ft²

Because momentum is conserved,
I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂
Therefore the angular velocity in position 2 is
ω₂ = (I₁/I₂)ω₁
      = (36/16)*1 = 2.25 rad/s
The tangential velocity in position 2 is
v₂ = r₂ω₂ = (2 ft)*(225 rad/s) = 4.5 ft/s

At each position, there is an outward centripetal force.
In position 1, the centripetal force is
F₁ = m*(v²/r₂) = (4)*(6²/3) = 48 lbf
In position 2, the centripetal force is
F₂ = (4)*(4.5²/2) = 40.5 lbf

The radius diminishes at a rate of 2 ft/s.
Therefore the force versus distance curve is as shown below.

The work done is the area under the curve, and it is
W = (1/2)*(48.0+40.5 ft)*(3-2 ft) = 44.25 ft-lb

Answer:  44.25 ft-lb
