A grocery cart of mass 16 kg is being pushed at a constant speed up a 12-degree ramp by a force of [{MathJax fullWidth='false' f
lawyer [7]

Answer:

If the cart is being pushed at a constant speed, then the acceleration in the direction of motion is zero. Hence, the force in the direction of the motion is zero, according to Newton's Second Law.

\Sigma F_x = ma_x

For simplicity, I will denote the direction along the inclined ramp as x-direction.

In the question the value of the force is not clearly given, so I will denote it as F_P

\Sigma F_{net_x} = ma_x\\\Sigma F = F_{P}\cos(29^\circ) - mg\sin(12^\circ) = ma_x = 0\\F_{P}\cos(29^\circ) = mgsin(12^\circ)\\F_{P}\times 0.8746 = 16\times 9.8\times  0.2079\\F_{P} = 37.2740

Here the angle between the applied force and the x-direction is 12° + 17° = 29°

The x-component of the weight of the cart is equal to sine component of the weight.

Since the cart is rolling on tires the kinetic friction does no work.

Work done by the applied force:

W_{F_P} = F_P_x \cos(29^\circ)\times 7.5 = 244.5 ~J

Work done by the weight of the cart:

W_{mg} = -mg\sin(12^\circ)\times 7.5 = -16\times 9.8 \times 0.2079 \times 7.5 = - 244.5~J

Since the x-component of the weight is in the -x-direction, its work is negative.

Conveniently, the total work done on the particle is zero, since its velocity is constant.

The slow coning pattern of the spin axis of the Earth's precession will move the end of this axis in a complete circle in a peri
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

26000 years

Explanation:

Precession describes the angular motion of the Earth's body. Since the attitude of telescopes relative to the Earth's body can be controlled with high accuracy, and telescopes can measure the direction of incoming light also with high accuracy, the motion of Earth is under permanent high precision monitoring. Thus the basic numerical descriptor of precission, an angular rate of 5029.0966 seconds of arc per Julian century, traditionally denoted p (for precession) is a measured value from observed coordinate changes of thousands of stars over, say, two centuries. The understanding of this value in terms of forces acting on an oblate Earth from the Moon is well understood so that an extrapolation back and forth over a few full cycles contains little uncertainties. Of course, you can find details on the coordinate transformations mentioned above (the direct observational effect of precession) on the net. I was surprised to see that the Wikipedia article on precession covers the astronomical aspect very poorly. You thus better look for other sources.
