Answer:
(a) 104 N
(b) 52 N
Explanation:
Given Data
Angle of inclination of the ramp: 20°
F makes an angle of 30° with the ramp
The component of F parallel to the ramp is Fx = 90 N.
The component of F perpendicular to the ramp is Fy.
(a)
Let the +x-direction be up the incline and the +y-direction by the perpendicular to the surface of the incline.
Resolve F into its x-component from Pythagorean theorem:
Fx=Fcos30°
Solve for F:
F= Fx/cos30°
Substitute for Fx from given data:
Fx=90 N/cos30°
=104 N
(b) Resolve r into its y-component from Pythagorean theorem:
Fy = Fsin 30°
Substitute for F from part (a):
Fy = (104 N) (sin 30°)
= 52 N
Answer:
Well the definition of an application is the act of putting to a special use or purpose so lam assuming that you want specific uses that scientists make of gravity in their work.
Well our first application has helped us to send satellites around the solar system with what Nasa calls gravity assist. Using a particular planets gravity to slingshot a satellite to another destination. Look it up.
The next application much simpler but here on Earth. There are many hydro-electric power stations in use all over the world. Water is stored at a high level and released falling 100s of metres to a turbine where it generates electricity.
Hope that helps.
Explanation:
Answer:
The minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.
Explanation:
To escape earth, the kinetic energy of the asteroid must be greater or equal to its gravitational potential energy:

or

where
is the mass of the asteroid,
is its distance form earth's center,
is the mass of the earth, and
is the gravitational constant.
Solving for
we get:

putting in numerical values gives


in kilometers this is

Hence, the minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.
