Answer:

Frictional force, f = 4180.11 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the truck, m = 3500 kg

It is parked on a 7 degrees slope. Let f is the frictional force acting on the truck. The force acting on it parallel to the slope is equal to the friction force required to prevent the truck from moving. It is given by :

$f=mg\ sin\theta$

$f=3500\times 9.8 \ sin(7)$

f = 4180.11 N

So, the friction force on the truck is 4180.11 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

4180 N

Explanation:

In order to keep the truck balanced and stationary, the force of friction on the truck must be equal to the component of the weight of the truck acting parallel to the slope.

The component of the weight of the truck acting parallel to the slope is:

$mg sin \theta$

where

m = 3500 kg is the mass of the truck

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

$\theta=7.0^{\circ}$ is the angle of the slope

Therefore, the force of friction must be equal to

$F=(3500)(9.8)(sin 7.0^{\circ})=4180 N$

A force F with arrow applied to an object of mass m1 produces an acceleration of 3.10 m/s2. The same force applied to a second o

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

(a) The value of the ratio m₁/m₂ is 0.581

(b) the acceleration of the combined masses is 1.139 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

The acceleration of force applied to M₁, a₁ = 3.10 m/s²

The same force applied to M₂ has acceleration, a₂ = 1.80 m/s²

Let this force = F

According Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

(a) the value of the ratio m₁/m₂

since the applied force is same in both cases, M₁a₁ = M₂a₂

$\frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{a_2}{a_1} \\\\\frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{1.8}{3.1} \\\\\frac{m_1}{m_2} = 0.581$

(b) the acceleration of m₁ and m₂ combined as one object under the action force F

F = ma

$a = \frac{F}{M} \\\\a = \frac{F}{m_1 + m_2} \\\\a = \frac{F}{0.581m_2 + m_2}\\\\a = \frac{F}{1.581m_2}$

$But, m_2 = \frac{F}{a_2} \\\\a = \frac{F}{1.581m_2} = \frac{F*a_2}{1.581F} \\\\a = \frac{a_2}{1.581} \\\\a = \frac{1.8}{1.581} = 1.139 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the combined masses is 1.139 m/s²

In an electrical circuit 200mC of charge flows through a 50kohm resistor in 90 seconds. What is the power

ss7ja [257]

Answer: $0.2464\ W$

Explanation:

Given

Charge $Q=200\ mC$

Resistance $R=50\ k\Omega$

Time $t=90\ s$

Charge is the amount of current flown in a particular time

$Q=It\\\Rightarrow 200\times 10^{-3}=I\times 90\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{200\times 10^{-3}}{90}\\\\\Rightarrow I=2.22\times 10^{-3}\ A$

Power is the given by $P=I^2R$

Insert values

$\Rightarrow P=\left(2.22\times 10^{-3}\right)^2\times 50\times 10^3\\\\\Rightarrow P=246.42\times 10^{-3}\ W\\\\\Rightarrow P=0.2464\ W$

The power is in the circuit is $0.2464\ W$ .
