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 beam of charged particles moves through a magnetic field, what is the evidence that particles in the beam have momentum g
Vsevolod [243]

The charged particles are often deflated in a magnetic field.

<h3>What is a magnetic field?</h3>

The term charge refers to a positive or negative entity. The can be created when a charge is made to pass through a conductor in a magnetic field.

A magnetic field is created when we have a north pole and a south pole. The charged particles could be made to pass through the electric field and when that happens, we can see a pattern a shown in the image attached.

Thus, we can see that the charged particles are often deflated in a magnetic field.
