Option B is correct: Rolling the box up an inclined plane on a cart.

When using the inclined, Ellen needs to overcome frictional force and the weight component of the box along the ramp which will be less than the total weight of the heavy box. Now, in sliding and rolling the weight of the heavy box along the ramp will be same but the difference will come in the type of the frictional force. Since, the rolling friction is less than the sliding friction. Hence, less force will be required when the box is rolled up an inclined plane on a cart.

A 17926-lb truck enters an emergency exit ramp at a speed of 75.6 ft/s. It travels for 6.4 s before its speed is reduced to 30.3
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

F_{braking}=337299 pdl

Explanation:

Impulse-Momentum relation:

I=\Delta p\\ F_{total}*t=m(v_{f}-v{o})

F_{total}=-F_{braking}+mgsin{\theta}

We solve the equations in order to find the braking force:

F_{braking}=m(v_{o}-v{f})/t+mgsin{\theta}=17926(75.6-30.3)/6.4+17926*32.17*sin21.4=337299 pdl

Which of the following graph is used for determining the instantaneous velocity from the slope?
hoa [83]

Answer:

B. x - t graph

Explanation:

A position-time (x-t) graph is a graph of the position of an object against (versus) time.

Generally, the slope of the line of a position-time (x-t) graph is typically used to determine or calculate the velocity of an object.

An instantaneous velocity can be defined as the rate of change in position of an object in motion for a short-specified interval of time. Thus, an instantaneous velocity is a quantity that can be found by measuring the slope of a line that is tangent to a point on the graph.

Hence, the x - t graph also referred to as the position-time graph is used for determining the instantaneous velocity from the slope.

<u>For example;</u>

Given that the equation of motion is S(t) = 4t² + 2t + 10. Find the instantaneous velocity at t = 5 seconds.

Solution.

S(t) = 4t^{2} + 2t + 10

Differentiating the equation, we have;

S(t) = 8t + 2

Substituting the value of "t" into the equation, we have;

S(5) = 8(5) + 2

S(5) = 40 + 2

S(5) = 42 m/s.
