Decompose the forces acting on the block into components that are parallel and perpendicular to the ramp. (See attached free body diagram. Forces are not drawn to scale)
• The net force in the parallel direction is
∑ <em>F</em> (para) = -<em>mg</em> sin(21°) - <em>f</em> = <em>ma</em>
• The net force in the perpendicular direction is
∑ <em>F</em> (perp) = <em>n</em> - <em>mg</em> cos(21°) = 0
Solving the second equation for <em>n</em> gives
<em>n</em> = <em>mg</em> cos(21°)
<em>n</em> = (0.200 kg) (9.80 m/s²) cos(21°)
<em>n</em> ≈ 1.83 N
Then the magnitude of friction is
<em>f</em> = <em>µn</em>
<em>f</em> = 0.25 (1.83 N)
<em>f</em> ≈ 0.457 N
Solve for the acceleration <em>a</em> :
-<em>mg</em> sin(21°) - <em>f</em> = <em>ma</em>
<em>a</em> = (-0.457N - (0.200 kg) (9.80 m/s²) sin(21°))/(0.200 kg)
<em>a</em> ≈ -5.80 m/s²
so the block is decelerating with magnitude
<em>a</em> = 5.80 m/s²
down the ramp.
Answer:
laws of motion relate an object’s motion to the forces acting on it. In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

0.050 m
Explanation:
The strength of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by
where
is the vacuum permeability
I is the current in the wire
r is the distance from the wire
And the magnetic field around the wire forms concentric circles, and it is tangential to the circles.
In this problem, we have:
(current in the wire)
(strength of magnetic field)
Solving for r, we find the distance from the wire:
Answer:
F=5449 N
Explanation:
Work done is a product of force and displacement ie
Work done, W, = Force*Displacement
Power, P, is Work done/Time
where P is power, W is work done, F is force, S is displacement and t is time
In this case, F is the frictional force. Converting the power from hp to W, we multiply by 746 hence P=746*168=125328 W
Since displacement/time is velocity, then
P=FV where V is velocity in m/s
Making F the subject
F=5449 N
