a) See free-body diagram in attachment

b) The acceleration is 2.46 m/s^2

Explanation:

a)

The free-body diagram of an object is a diagram representing all the forces acting on the object. Each force is represented by a vector of length proportional to the magnitude of the force, pointing in the same direction as the force.

The free-body diagram for this object is shown in the figure in attachment.

There are three forces acting on the object:

  • The weight of the object, labelled as mg (where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration of gravity), acting downward
  • The applied force, F_a, acting up along the plane
  • The force of friction, F_f, acting down along the plane

b)

In order to find the acceleration of the object, we need to write the equation of the forces acting along the direction parallel to the incline. We have:

F_a - F_f - mg sin \theta = ma

where:

F_a = 15 N is the applied force, pushing forward

F_f = 5 N is the frictional force, acting backward

mg sin \theta is the component of the weight parallel to the incline, acting backward, where

m = 2 kg is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\theta=15^{\circ} is the angle between the horizontal and the incline (it is not given in the problem, so I assumed this value)

a is the acceleration

Solving for a, we find:

a=\frac{F_a - F_f - mg sin \theta}{m}=\frac{15-5-(2)(9.8)(sin 15^{\circ})}{2}=2.46 m/s^2

Answer:

thermoset

Explanation:

A thermoset material is a polymer that is irreversibly hardened by curing. Curing is induced by heat and cannot be undone because the polymers cross link during the process, creating permanent chemical bonds.

A 1369.4 kg car is traveling at 28.9 m/s when the driver takes his foot off the gas pedal. It takes 5.1 s for the car to slow do
Darya [45]

Answer:

F = 2389.603 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass m = 1,369.4 kg

Initial velocity u = 28.9 m/s

Final velocity v = 20 m/s

Time t = 5.1 s

Find:

Net force

Computation:

a = (v - u)/t

a = (20 - 28.9)/5.1

a = -1.745 m/s²

F = ma

F = (1369.4)(1.745)

F = 2389.603 N

The body went 450 meters within 30 seconds of starting the movement. In what time did the first 50 meters go?
Andrew [12]

3.33 seconds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We can find the speed of the body using the formula,

Speed = Distance traveled in meters /  time taken in seconds

= 450 m / 30 seconds

= 15 m/s

So per second the distance traveled by the body is 15 m.

So time needed to travel 50 m can be found as,

time = distance/speed

= 50 m / 15 m /s

= 3.33 s
