In the design of a supermarket, there are to be several ramps connecting different parts of the store. Customers will have to pu

sh grocery carts up the ramps and it is obviously desirable that this not be too difficult. The engineer has done a survey and found that almost no one complains if the force directed up the ramp is no more than 20N .
Ignoring friction, at what maximum angle θ should the ramps be built, assuming a full 30kg grocery cart?

Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

3.90 degrees

Explanation:

Let g= 9.81 m/s2. The gravity of the 30kg grocery cart is

W = mg = 30*9.81 = 294.3 N

This gravity is split into 2 components on the ramp, 1 parallel and the other perpendicular to the ramp.

We can calculate the parallel one since it's the one that affects the force required to push up

F = WsinΘ

Since customer would not complain if the force is no more than 20N

F = 20

294.3sin\theta = 20

sin\theta = 20/294.3 = 0.068

\theta = sin^{-1}0.068 = 0.068 rad = 0.068*180/\pi \approx 3.90^0

So the ramp cannot be larger than 3.9 degrees

When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it<br><br>causes​
geniusboy [140]

Explanation:

Given that,

Current, I = 0.015 A

Voltage, V = 240 volts

We need to find the resistance. Using Ohm's law we can find it as follows :

V=IR\\\\R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{240}{0.015}\\\\R=16000\ \Omega

So, When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it  causes​  16000 ohms of resistance.

The Earth orbits around the sun because the gravitational force that the sun
kotykmax [81]
<h3>Question -:</h3>

The Earth orbits around the sun because the gravitational force that the sun

exerts on the Earth:

O A. causes Earth's acceleration toward the sun.

O B. is very small because the sun is so far from the Earth.

O c. is smaller than the force the Earth exerts on the sun.

O D. pushes the Earth away from the sun.

<h3>Answer -:</h3>

O A. causes Earth's acceleration toward the sun.

<em>I </em><em>hope </em><em>this</em><em> </em><em>helps</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>have </em><em>a </em><em>nice </em><em>time </em><em>ahead!</em>

A motorist driving at 25 meters/second decelerates to
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Work done = 0.5*m*[(v2)^2 - (v1)^2]
where m is mass,
v2 and v1 are the velocities.

Given that m = 1.50 x 10^3 kg, v2 = -15 m/s (decelerates), v1 = 25 kg,

Work done = 0.5 * 1.50 x 10^3 * ((-15)^2 - 25^2) = 3 x 10^5 joules

Just ignore the negative value for the final result because work is a scalar quantity.

Forces can act on an object in the same direction or in opposite. how does each situation affect the motion of the object?
Anon25 [30]



Hi pupil here's your answer ::




➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡



Action and Reaction do not act on the same body !! If they acted on the same body, the resultant force will be zero and their could be never accelerated motion.

If both the forces acted on the same body, then if they are equal to opposite direction the object will remain stationary. If on of the forces is greater than other the object will move in the direction of greater force.

If both acted in the same direction there would be an accelrated motion.
