Answer:

d) a = 4.1 m/s²

Explanation:

m = 92 Kg

∅ = 40º

μ = 0.293

a = ?

We can obtain the forces in the direction x' (of motion)

Wx' = W*Sin ∅ = m*g*Sin ∅

Ffriction = μ*N = μ*m*g*Cos ∅

then we use Newton's 2nd Law as follows:

Wx' - Ffriction = m*a

m*g*Sin ∅ - μ*m*g*Cos ∅ = m*a

⇒   a = g*(Sin ∅ - μ*Cos ∅)

⇒   a = (9.81 m/s²)*(Sin 40º - 0.293*Cos 40º)

⇒   a = 4.1038 m/s²

Lindsay is planning a flight from St. Catharines to Hamilton, which lies due west of St. Catharines. Her aircraft flies at a spe
olga nikolaevna [1]

Lindsay has to fly this plane towards this direction [W 12.5° S] to get to Hamilton.

From this question, the plane is still up in the air.

We have wind blowing in [W 60° N ]

To solve the problem we have to make use of the sine rule

\frac{SinA}{a}=\frac{SinB}{b} =\frac{SinC}{c}

We put the values in the equation, we have:

50/Sinθ = 200/sin60°

The next step is to cross multiply

50 x sin60° = 200Sinθ

50 x 0.8660 = 200sinθ

We make Sin θ the subject

Sine θ = 43.30/200

sine θ = 0.2165

we find the value of θ

θ = sine⁻¹(0.2165)

θ = 12.50

So Lindsay has to fly this plane towards this direction

[W 12.5° S]

A 10-kg piece of aluminum sits at the bottom of a lake, right next to a 10-kg piece of lead, which is much denser than aluminum.
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Aluminium

Explanation:

When a body is immersed in a liquid partly or wholly it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force.

The amount of buoyant force depends on the volume of body immersed, density of liquid and the value of acceleration due to gravity.

Here, the density of liquid is same in both the cases and g be the same. So, here the amount of buoyant force depends on the volume of body immersed.

As the density of lead is more than the density of aluminium, so the volume of aluminium is more than lead, as volume is equal to mass divided by density. So, the buoyant force acting on the aluminium is more than lead.
