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

Sati [7]
Alright, to begin with. The unit of Force is in Newtons. Meaning the first two options are out of the answers. Now in order to find the force. You will need to take the mass and multiply that by the acceleration. Which will give you 26.75 Newtons.

Answer:at 21.6 min they were separated by 12 km

Explanation:

We can consider the next diagram

B2------15km/h------->Dock

|

|

B1 at 20km/h

|

|

V

So by the time B1 leaves, being B2 traveling at constant 15km/h and getting to the dock one hour later means it was at 15km from the dock, the other boat, B1 is at a distance at a given time, considering constant speed of 20km/h*t going south, where t is in hours, meanwhile from the dock the B2 is at a distance of (15km-15km/h*t), t=0, when it is 8pm.

Then we have a right triangle and the distance from boat B1 to boat B2, can be measured as the square root of (15-15*t)^2 +(20*t)^2. We are looking for a minimum, then we have to find the derivative with respect to t. This is 5*(25*t-9)/(sqrt(25*t^2-18*t+9)), this derivative is zero at t=9/25=0,36 h = 21.6 min, now to be sure it is a minimum we apply the second derivative criteria that states that if the second derivative at the given critical point is positive it means here we have a minimum, and by calculating the second derivative we find it is 720/(25 t^2 - 18 t + 9)^(3/2) that is positive at t=9/25, then we have our answer. And besides replacing the value of t we get the distance is 12 km.

For a home sound system, two small speakers are located so that one is 52 cm closer to the listener than the other. What is the
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The first frequency of audible sound in the speed sound is

f = 662 Hz

Explanation:

vs = 344 m/s

x =  52 cm * 1 / 100m = 0.52m

The wave length is the distance between the peak and peak so

d = 2x

d = 2*0.52 m

d = 1.04 m

So the frequency in the speed velocity is

f = 1 / T

f = vs / x = 344 m/s / 0.52m

f ≅ 662 Hz

Which ball has the greater average speed during the 1-s interval after release (assuming neither hits the ground during that tim
notka56 [123]

Answer:

The ball thrown downward

Explanation:

When the ball is thrown vertically, the acceleration of it is the gravity acceleration independent if it is thrown downward or upward. However, the acceleration is a vector, so, when the ball is thrown upward, the movement is against the gravity, so the acceleration is negative, and so, the velocity decreases during time; and when the ball is thrown downward, the movement goes to the gravity, so the acceleration is positive, so the velocity increase after time passes.
