1 answer:
Ludmilka [50]3 years ago

Answer:

  3.92 N (straight down)

  2.36 N (down, parallel to the plane)

Explanation:

The only force acting on the system is apparently that due to gravity. The mass of the system is the sum of the masses of the blocks, so is ...

  0.20 kg + 0.20 kg = 0.40 kg

The force due to gravity is given by ...

  F = ma = (0.40 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 3.92 N . . . (straight down)

That force is acting straight down, so is at an angle with respect to the direction the blocks are constrained to move.

The force down the plane is (3.92 N)·sin(37°) ≈ 2.359 N . . . (down the plane)

_____

<em>Comment on the answer</em>

We have given two answers to the question, because in this frictionless system, the force acting normal to the plane of motion is irrelevant to the system dynamics. The question asked for the net force on the system, which is the force due to gravity, so we have given that magnitude also.

Why do people make this to the seashore?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Protecting the Seashore

Seashore Conservation Code

When investigating a seashore it is important to remember that the welfare of the plants and animals must come first. If seaweeds are attached to rocks do not try to pull them off, just examine them where they are growing. Handle animals with great care, returning them to the place where they were found. Anemones and limpets are normally firmly stuck to rocks and any attempt to remove them may result in their death. Replace any large stones that are removed – animals that live on the underside soon die if left exposed.

Pollution Problems

Seas and seashores are under continual threat from pollution. Here are some examples:-

oil rigOil spills, either accidental or deliberate, have a devastating effect on marine life, especially seabirds. Black tar-like oil washed up on a rocky shore would obviously completely destroy the entire community of living things. Chemicals used to disperse oil spills on a shore may effectively clean up the oil, but they can also cleanse the shore of life! The best policy for marine life is to physically remove as much oil as possible and leave the rest to degrade naturally. A rocky shore will recover much more quickly if chemicals are not used.

Sewage and litter also upsets seashore ecosystem, making them unsightly and perhaps contaminated. Some litter can be dangerous to wildlife.

Toxic chemicals and radioactive waste - a cocktail of toxic chemicals have found their way into the sea over the years, affecting both marine and human life. For many years potentially deadly radioactive waste from nuclear power stations and other sources was disposed of in the sea, and beaches have been contaminated by accidental leakages from nuclear power stations.

The cooking time for a roast scales like the 2/3rds power of the mass. Based on scaling laws, how much longer does a 20-lb roast
fgiga [73]

Answer:

2.726472 s more or 1.5874 times more time is taken than 10-lb roast.

Explanation:

Given:

- The cooking time t is related the mass of food m by:

                                    t = m^(2/3)

- Mass of roast 1 m_1 = 20 lb

- Mass of roast 2 m_2 = 10 lb

Find:

how much longer does a 20-lb roast take than a 10-lb roast?

Solution:

- Compute the times for individual roasts using the given relation:

                                  t_1 = (20)^(2/3) = 7.36806 s

                                  t_2 = (10)^(2/3) = 4.641588 s

- Now take a ration of t_1 to t_2, to see how many times more time is taken by massive roast:

                                  t_1 / t_2 = (20 / 10)^(2/3)

- Compute:                t_1 / t_2 = 2^(2/3) = 1.5874 s

- Hence, a 20-lb roast takes 1.5874 times more seconds than 10- lb roast.

                                  t_2 - t_1 = 2.726472 s more
