Answer:

(a)The work done by the force Fp is 198.6J

(b) The work done by the weight mg is -198.6J

The net force acting on the cart is zero. This is because the cart is moving with a constant velocity and by newton's first law the the net force on the cart is equal to zero.

Fp was calculated to be equal to 34.94 N.

Explanation:

In order to solve this kind of problems successfully, the best approach is to resolve all forces acting on the cart parallel and perpendicular to the ramp surface. So that the x-axis is parallel to the ramp surface and the y axis is perpendicular to the ramp surface.

Fpx = FpCos 29°

Fpy = FpSin 29°

Wx = mg sin12°

Wy = mg cos 12°

Summation Fx = 0

And Summation Fy = 0

The full solution can be found below in the attachment.

Thank you for reading and I hope this is helpful to you.

Answer: a. 198.6J b. - 198.6J

Explanation: Parameters given:

m = 15kg

g = 9.8m/s²

∅ = 12°

a. Work done by the force Fp on the cart if the ramp is 6.5m long.

Given the formula, Fp = Mgsin∅ = 15 x 9.8 x sin12° = 30.56N

Therefore Work done (Wp) = Fp x Ramp Length = 30.56 x 6.5 = 198.64Nm or 198.6J

b. The work done by the force mg on the cart.

Since the cart is being pushed upwards, it acts against gravity with its direction of motion. Taking into account the formula from the previous answer for Work Done (Wg) = Fmg x distance

= 15kg x -9.8m/s² x Sin12° x 6.5m

= - 198.6J

A pipe that is open at both ends has a fundamental frequency of 320 Hz when the speed of sound in air is 331 m/s.
fenix001 [56]

Question

What is the length of the pipe?

Answer:

(a) 0.52m

(b) f2=640 Hz and f3=960 Hz

(c) 352.9 Hz

Explanation:

For an open pipe,  the velocity is given by

v=\frac {2Lf}{n}

Making L the subject then

L=\frac {nV}{2f}

Where f is the frequency,  L is the length,  n is harmonic number,  v is velocity

Substituting 1 for n,  320 Hz for f and 331 m/s for v then

L=\frac {1*331}{2*320}=0.5171875\approx 0.52m

(b)

The next two harmonics is given by

f2=2fi

f3=3fi

f2=3*320=640 Hz

f3=3*320=960 Hz

Alternatively, f2=2\times \frac {v}{2L} and f3=3\times \frac {v}{2L}

f2=2\times \frac {331}{2*0.52}=636.5 Hz\\f3=3\times \frac {331}{2*0.52}=954.8 Hz

(c)

When v=367 m/s then

f1= \frac {v}{2L}\\f1= \frac {367}{2*0.52}=352.9 Hz

A soccer ball is released from rest at the top of a grassy incline. After 6.2 seconds, the ball travels 47 meters. One second la
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

(a) a = 2.44 m/s²

(b) s = 63.24 m

Explanation:

(a)

We will use the second equation of motion here:

s = v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,

s = distance covered = 47 m

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

t = time taken = 6.2 s

a = acceleration = ?

Therefore,

47\ m = (0\ m/s)(6.2\ s)+\frac{1}{2}a(6.2\ s)^2\\\\a = \frac{2(47\ m)}{(6.2\ s)^2}

<u>a = 2.44 m/s²</u>

<u></u>

(b)

Now, we will again use the second equation of motion for the complete length of the inclined plane:

s = v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,

s = distance covered = ?

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

t = time taken = 7.2 s

a = acceleration = 2.44 m/s²

Therefore,

s = (0\ m/s)(6.2\ s)+\frac{1}{2}(2.44\ m/s^2)(7.2\ s)^2\\\\

<u>s = 63.24 m</u>

A shallow groove on the surface of the cortex is called a ________.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

sulcus

Explanation:

A sulcus is an indentation or depression in the brain that causes it to look like it  ridges or folds

Cerebral sulci and fissures are grooves between the adjacent gyri on the surface of the cerebral hemispheres.

Sulci can be basically can be divided into three basic function

limiting sulcus: This happens to  develop between areas differing in structure and function, for example central sulcus

axial sulcus: This develops along the axis of a rapidly growing/developing area (e.g. calcarine sulcus)

operculated sulcus: a sulcus may be between two structurally-different areas and a third sulcus may lie in its wall and does not appear on the surface (e.g. lunate sulcus)

A student standing on a cliff that is a vertical height d = 8.0 m above the level ground throws a stone with velocity v0 = 24 m/
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

a) Vf = 27.13 m/s

b) It would have been the same

Explanation:

On the y-axis:

Y=-Vo*sin\theta*t-1/2*g*t^2

-8=-24*sin(21)*t-1/2*10*t^2

Solving for t:

t1 = 0.67s     t2= -2.4s

Discarding the negative value and using the positive one to calculate the velocity:

Vf_y = -Vo*sin\theta-g*t

Vf_y = -15.3m/s

So, the module of the velocity will be:

Vf=\sqrt{(-15.3)^2+(24*cos(21))^2}

Vf=27.13m/s

If you throw it above horizontal, it would go up first, and when it reached the initial height, the velocity would be the same at the throwing instant. And starting then, the movement will be the same.
