Answer:

433.88 lbs

Explanation:

We are given that mass of trailer =675 pound

Angle= $40^{\circ}$

We have to find the vertical force required to keep the trailer from rolling back down the exit ramp.

The force required to keep the trailer from rolling back down the exit ramp= $wsin\theta$

Where w=675 pounds and $\theta=40^{\circ}$

Substitute the values then we get

$F=675 sin40^{\circ}$

$sin40^{\circ}=0.642787$

Substitute the value then we get

$F=675\times 0.642787$ =433.88 lbs

Hence, the force required to keep the trailer from rolling back down the exits ramp=433.88 lbs

Answer:

The bulbs should be connected in parallel.

Explanation:

We want to find out a way to hook up 2 light bulbs and a battery so that when one bulb burns out or is disconnected the other bulbs stays lit.

We must connect the two bulbs in parallel so that even when one bulb is burns out, it will have no effect on the other bulb and the 2nd bulb will keep on working. The current flowing in each bulb will depend upon the resistance of each bulb and the voltage will be same across each bulb.

On the other hand, if we use a series circuit then if one bulb burns out then the there is no flow of current in the circuit and therefore, the second bulb will not be operational.

The current flowing through each bulb is given by

I = V/R

The voltage across each bulb is given by

V = IReq

Where I is the current and Req is the equivalent resistance of the two bulbs connected in parallel and is given by

Req = (R₁*R₂)/(R₁+R₂)

The connection diagram is attached where two bulbs are connected in parallel and are power with a battery.

A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) if it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative t

enot [183]

Here we will the speed of seagull which is v = 9 m/s

this is the speed of seagull when there is no effect of wind on it

now in part a)

if effect of wind is in opposite direction then it travels 6 km in 20 min

so the average speed is given by the ratio of total distance and total time

$v_{avg} = \frac{6000}{20*60}$

$v_{avg} = 5m/s$

now since effect of wind is in opposite direction then we can say

$V_{net} = v_{bird} - v_{wind}$

$5 = 9 - v_{wind}$

$v_{wind}= 4 m/s$

Part b)

now if bird travels in the same direction of wind then we will have

$v_{net}= v_{bird} + v_{wind}$

$v_{net} = 9 + 4 = 13 m/s$

now we can find the time to go back

$time = \frac{distance}{speed}$

$time = \frac{6000}{13}$

$time = 7.7 minutes$

Part c)

Total time of round trip when wind is present

$T = t_1 + t_2$

$T = 20 + 7.7 = 27.7 min$

now when there is no wind total time is given by

$T = \frac{6000}{9} + \frac{6000}{9}$

$T = 22.22 min$

So due to wind time will be more

What should be angle between force and displacement to get the maximum work

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer: The angle between force and displacement should be θ = 90° for minimum work. The angle between force and displacement should be θ = 0° for maximum work.
