A block is given an initial velocity up an inclined plane with friction. The block comes to rest before the end of the inclined

plane.

Answer:

The sign of the work done by gravity on a block moving up an inclined plane as the block comes to a rest on the inclined plane is **negative**.

Explanation:

Work is given mathematically as (Force).(displacement) = /F/ /d/ cos θ

where /F/ = magnitude of the force

/d/ = d = magnitude of displacement that the force moves through

θ = angle between the force and the displacement

For gravity Force,

Whenever the angle between the force and the displacement is in the range of 0° and 90°, the workdone is positive.

And whenever the angle between the force and the displacement is in the range of 90°+ to 180°. The workdone is negative.

Better explained,

For gravity, the force of gravity acts in the negative y direction, so, force of gravity is always equal to (-mg î).

If an object is falling downwards, then its displacement is in the negative y direction too; - dî.

Work done by gravity on a falling object = (-mgî).(-dî) = + mg d = mgd cos 0° = + mgd (θ = 0°) in this case

Positive work!

And for an object rising upwards, the force of gravity is still in the negative y direction too and is equal to (-mgî). But the displacement is in the positive y direction; that is, +dî

Work done by gravity on a body moving upwards = (-mgî).(dî) = - mgd = mgd cos 180° = - mgd (θ = 180°)

Negative work done!

So, for a body moving up an inclined plane, the vertical displacement is still upwards and in the positive y-direction. So, the analogy of the 2nd gravity explanation works for it.

When using a micron gauge, if the pressure gauge falls frim 1,300 to 1,000 instantly, the vehicle needs to?
julsineya [31]
If the micron gauge pressure falls instantly, it means that the moisture of the air-conditioning is frozen, therefore you need to move the vehicle to a warmer place in order to unfreeze the moisture.

A car travels in a straight line for 5 h at a constant speed of 72 km/h. What is it’s acceleration
Luda [366]

Answer:

a \approx \: 0.001 \: m {s}^{ - 2}

Explanation:

Given:

initial \:  velocity \:  (u) = 0 \\  \\ Final  \: Velocity \:  (v) = 72 km /h   \\  \\ Time \:  (t) = 5 \:  hours \\  \\ Acceleration \:  (a) =?  \\  \\  \because \: a =  \frac{v - u}{t}  \\  \\  \therefore \: a =  \frac{72 - 0}{5}  \\  \\ a =  \frac{72}{5}  \\  \\ a = 14.5 \: km {h}^{ - 2}  \\  \\ a =  \frac{14.5 \times 1000}{3600\times 3600} \: m {s}^{ - 2}   \\  \\ a = 0.00111882716 \\  \\ a \approx \: 0.001 \: m {s}^{ - 2}

Strong winds causing a vehicle to lose all control is called
mixer [17]
The answer to this question is "Buffeting". This is an unusual strong wind condition that resulted in the loss of vehicle control. This condition occurs in roads and bridges, across and along mountains that affected vehicles control. The drivers must be alert and put their full attention to overcome this condition.

As a 2.0-kg object moves from (4.4 i + 5j) m to ( 11.6 i - 2j) m, the constant resultant force
fgiga [73]

Answer: 107.8\ J

Explanation:

Given

Initial position of object is (4.4 i+5 j)

Final position of object is (11.6 i -2 j)

Force acting (4i-9j)

Work done is given by

\Rightarrow W=F\cdot dx\\\Rightarrow W=(4i-9j)\cdot (11.6i-4.4i-2j-5j)\\\Rightarrow W=(4i-9j)\cdot (7.2i-7j)\\\Rightarrow W=28.8+63\\\Rightarrow W=91.8\ J

Initial kinetic energy

K_i=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4^2\\\\K_i=16\ J

Change in kinetic energy is equal to work done by object

\Rightarrow K_f=K_i+W\\\Rightarrow K_f=16+91.8\\\Rightarrow K_f=107.8\ J
