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
1 answer:
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.

Explanation:
If the passage of the waves is one crest every 2.5 seconds, then that is the frequency of the wave, f.
The distance between the 2 crests (or troughs) is the wavelength, λ.
We want the velocity of this wave. The equation that relates these 3 things is
and filling in:
so
v = 2.5(2.0) and
v = 5.0 m/s
Answer:
Explanation:
We are given that
Mass of wire=m=3.6 g=
1 kg=1000 g
Length of wire=l=1.6 m
Mass of object=m'=3 kg
Time,t=60.1 ms=
Speed,v=
Using the formula
a.
The work done by a constant force along a rectilinear motion when the force and the displacement vector are not colinear is given by:
where F is the magnitude of the force, theta is the angle between them and d is the distance.
The problen gives the following data:
The magnitude of the force 750 N.
The angle between the force and the displacement which is 25°
The distance, 26 m.
Plugging this in the formula we have:
Therefore the work done is 17673 J.
b)
The power is given by:
the problem states that the time it takes is 6 s. Then:
Therefore the power is 2945.5 W
