Answer:

The weight of the scaffold is 375 N.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The weight of the person in the middle, W = 225 N

Tn tension in each rope, T = 300 N

Let w is the weight of the scaffold. On equilibrium, the net forces can be written in terms of :

w + 225 = 300 + 300

w = 375 N    

So, the weight of the scaffold is 375 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

A car is moving at 19 m/s along a curve on a horizontal plane with radius of curvature 49m.
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

\mu =0.75

Explanation:

<u>Frictional Force </u>

When the car is moving along the curve, it receives a force that tries to take it from the road. It's called centripetal force and the formula to compute it is:

F_c=m.a_c

The centripetal acceleration a_c is computed as

\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

Where v is the tangent speed of the car and r is the radius of curvature. Replacing the formula into the first one

F_c=m.\frac{v^2}{r}

For the car to keep on the track, the friction must have the exact same value of the centripetal force and balance the forces. The friction force is computed as

F_r=\mu N

The normal force N is equal to the weight of the car, thus

F_r=\mu .m.g

Equating both forces

\displaystyle \mu .m.g=m.\frac{v^2}{r}

Simplifying

\displaystyle \mu =\frac{v^2}{rg}

Substituting the values

\displaystyle \mu =\frac{19^2}{(49)(9.8)}

\boxed{\mu =0.75}

Two 110 kg bumper cars are moving toward each other in opposite directions. Car A is moving at 8 m/s and Car Z at –10 m/s when t
Marysya12 [62]
From the law of conservation of momentum
m1u1+ m2u2= m1v1+ m2v2
110*8+ 110*-10= 110*-10 + 110* v2
v2= 8 m/sec

The engine in your car is sometimes called: A. A 2-stroke engine
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:A

Explanation:

Engines in car are 4 stroke engine . A 4-stroke engine is internal combustion engine which derives its power by four piston strokes . Internal combustion means combustion takes inside the engine i.e. is in cylinder.

There are process in 4 stroke engine

  • Intake: Intake of air
  • Compression:compression of intake air to a high pressure
  • Combustion:Fuel is injected and burned to get power
  • Exhaust:removal of exhaust gases after combustion

Increasing which two things would increase gravitational potential energy?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Mass and height

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.

Which is represented as;

PE_g=mgh

PE_g stands for gravitational potantial energy,

m stands for mass of object,

g is the gravitational constant and

h is the height.

Here we see that mass of object and height is directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy.

That means increasing in mass and height will result in increasing gravitational potential energy.
