Answer:

Effort force $=824.04 \sin\theta$

where $\theta$ is the angle of inclination of the ramp.

Explanation:

The given combined mass of a person and wheelchair is 185 lb.

In SI unit, 1 pound= 0.453592 kg

So, 185 lb= $185\times0.453592$ kg=84kg (approximately)

Assuming the whole mass as a point mass and denote it by M, so

M=84kg

Let the angle of inclination of the ram with the is $\theta$ with respect to the ground and assume that the friction offered by ram id negligible, so neglection the frictional force.

The applied effort force, F, will be minimum when applied in the direction parallel to the ramp surface as shown in the figure.

The gravitational force action on M is Mg in the downward direction.

For the mass M to be at an equilibrium condition on the ramp, the sum of the total force in any direction will be zero.

Equate the sum of all the forces in the direction parallel to the ramp to zero.

$F-Mg\sin\theta=0$

$\Rightarrow F=Mg \sin\theta$

$\Rightarrow F=84\times 9.81\sin\theta$

$\Rightarrow F=824.04\sin\theta N$ .

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. In 1.00 s, it rotates 21.0 rad. Du

ELEN [110]

With constant angular acceleration $\alpha$ , the disk achieves an angular velocity $\omega$ at time $t$ according to

$\omega=\alpha t$

and angular displacement $\theta$ according to

$\theta=\dfrac12\alpha t^2$

a. So after 1.00 s, having rotated 21.0 rad, it must have undergone an acceleration of

$21.0\,\mathrm{rad}=\dfrac12\alpha(1.00\,\mathrm s)^2\implies\alpha=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}$

b. Under constant acceleration, the average angular velocity is equivalent to

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\omega_f+\omega_i}2$

where $\omega_f$ and $\omega_i$ are the final and initial angular velocities, respectively. Then

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\left(42.0\frac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)}2=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

c. After 1.00 s, the disk has instantaneous angular velocity

$\omega=\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

d. During the next 1.00 s, the disk will start moving with the angular velocity $\omega_0$ equal to the one found in part (c). Ignoring the 21.0 rad it had rotated in the first 1.00 s interval, the disk will rotate by angle $\theta$ according to

$\theta=\omega_0t+\dfrac12\alpha t^2$

which would be equal to

$\theta=\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)^2=63.0\,\mathrm{rad}$

A steel pot has a bottom with a cross sectional area of .1m2 and has a thickness of 1cm. The pot is filled with boiling water an

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

840000 J/min

Explanation:

Area = A = 0.1 m²

Bottom of pot temperature = 200 °C

Thermal conductivity = k = 14 J/sm°C

Thickness = L = 1 cm = 0.01 m

Temperature of boiling water = 100 °C

From the law of heat conduction

Q = kAΔT/L

⇒ Q = 14×0.1×(200-100)/0.01

⇒ Q = 14000 J/s

Converting to J/minute

Q = 14000×60 = 840000 J/min

∴ Heat being conducted through the pot is 840000 J/min

Current in conducter is due to

maw [93]

Answer:

Free electrons in a conductor

Explanation:

Current in a conductor is due to flow or motion of the free electrons in it.

The electric current is the flow of electrons in a conductor. The force that causes the current flow through a conductor is called the voltage.
