Answer: N = Mgcos(theta)

Therefore, the Normal reaction force is equal to Mgcos(theta)

Explanation:

See attached for a sketch.

From the attachment.

.

N = normal reaction force on block

W = weight of the block

theta = angle of the inclined plane to the horizontal

From the sketch, we can see that

N is equal in magnitude but opposite direction to Wy

N = Wy

And

Wy = Wcos(theta)

Wx = Wsin(theta)

Then,

N = Wy = Wcos(theta)

But W = mass × acceleration due to gravity = mg

N = Mgcos(theta)

Therefore, the Normal reaction force is equal to Mgcos(theta)

Answer:

Mg Cos theta

Explanation:

Choosing a coordinate system parallel and perpendicular to the plane, since the acceleration perpendicular to the plane is 0, the net force perpendicular to the plane is also 0. Therefore, the magnitude of the normal force equals the magnitude of the y component of the weight.

A hydraulic lift is designed to lift cars up to 2000 kg in mass.If the lift under the car is 1.0 m by 1.2m and the area of the i
Lerok [7]

Answer:

C) 160 N

Explanation:

m = mass of the car = 2000 kg

Weight of the car is given as

W = mg \\W = (2000) (9.8)\\W = 19600 N

F_{i} = Force exerted on the input piston

A_{i} = Area of input piston = 10 cm x 10 cm = 0.1 m x 0.1 m = 0.01 m²

A_{lift} = Area of lift = 1 m x 1.2 m = 1.2 m²

Using Pascal's law

\frac{F_{i}}{A_{i}} = \frac{W}{A_{lift}}\\\frac{F_{i}}{0.01} = \frac{19600}{1.2}\\F_{i} = 160 N

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

speed of swimming in still water is given by the expression

distance / time

= 50 / 25

= 2 m /s

In lane 1 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing in the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of  2 + 1.2 = 3.2 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / 3.2 = 15.625 s

In lane 8 , 1.2 cm/s current is flowing against  the direction that the swimmers are going so swimmers will cover distance at the rate of  2 - 1.2 = .8 m /s.

time to cover distance of 50 m in lane 1

= distance / speed

= 50 / .8 = 62.5 s

A light beam has speed c in vacuum and speed v in a certain plastic. The index of refraction n of this plastic is
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

n = \frac{c}{v}

Explanation:

Refractive Index: It is a measure to find how fast the light travels through a medium. It is ration of the speed of light in vacuum to speed of light in the medium. Speed of light is not constant and varies depending on the density of the medium.

In vacuum the speed of light is 300000 km/s and is denoted by c. When the light beam enters any medium the speed will decrease. Here it is given that the speed in plastic is v. Thus the refractive index(n) is given as:

n = \frac{c}{v}

It is a dimensionless no.
