The builders of the pyramids used a long ramp to lift 20000-kg (20.0-ton) blocks. If a block rose 0.840 m in height while travel

ing 20.0 m along the ramp surface, how much uphill force was needed to push it up the ramp at constant velocity

Given Information:  

Mass = m =  20000 kg

Height of ramp = h = 0.840 m

Length of ramp = L = 20 m

Required Information:  

Uphill Force = F = ?

Answer:

F = 8232 N

Explanation:

The force can be found using the equation

F = mgsinθ

Where m is the mass of block, g is the acceleration due to gravity

Since the ramp can be modeled as an inclined plane so it can formed into a triangle, recall that in right angle triangle sinθ is equal to opposite over hypotenuse. The opposite is the height and hypotenuse is the ramp surface.

sinθ = h/L = 0.840/20 = 0.042

F = 20000*9.8*0.042

F = 8232 N

Therefore, an uphill force of 8232 N would be needed.

A car experiences a centripetal acceleration of 4.4 m/s ^2 as ur rounds a corner with a speed of 15 m/s. What is the radius of t
damaskus [11]
The calculation of the centripetal acceleration of an object following a circular path is based on the equation,

                  a = v² / r

where a is the acceleration, v is the velocity, and r is the radius.

Substituting the known values from the given above,

             4.4 m/s² = (15 m/s)² / r

The value of r from the equation is 51.14 m.

Answer: 51.14 m

10) Two students want to use a 12-meter long rope to create standing waves. They first measure the speed at which a single wave
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

To create a second harmonic the rope must vibrate at the frequency of 3 Hz

Explanation:

First we find the fundamental frequency of the rope. The fundamental frequency is the frequency of the rope when it vibrates in only 1 loop. Therefore,

f₁ = v/2L

where,

v = speed of wave = 36 m/s

L = Length of rope = 12 m

f₁ = fundamental frequency

Therefore,

f₁ = (36 m/s)/2(12 m)

f₁ = 1.5 Hz

Now the frequency of nth harmonic is given in general, as:

fn = nf₁

where,

fn = frequency of nth harmonic

n = No. of Harmonic = 2

f₁ = fundamental frequency = 1.5 Hz

Therefore,

f₂ = (2)(1.5 Hz)

<u>f₂ = 3 Hz</u>

the royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado rises 321 m above the Arkansas river. suppose you kick a rock horizontally off the bridge. Th
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

2.48 m/s

Explanation:

We can use the kinematic equation,

s = ut +½at²

Where

s = displacement

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

a = acceleration

Using the equation in vertical direction,

321 = 0×t +½×g×t², u = 0 because initial vertical velocity is 0

We get t = 8.01 s

Using the equation in the horizontal direction,

52 = u×8.01 +½×0×(8.01)²,. a = 0 because no unbalanced force act on object in that direction

So u = 2.48 m/s
