The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is

(Length of the incline) / (its height)

= (10m) / (1m)

= 10 .

It's the same for any load, and doesn't depend on the mass that you're trying to move up or down the ramp.

If the car ha a mass of 1000 kilograms, what is its momentum (v=35m/s)
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

<em>The momentum of the car is 35,000 kg.m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Momentum</u>

Momentum is often defined as <em>mass in motion.</em>

Since all objects have mass, if it's moving, then it has momentum. It can be calculated as the product of the mass by the velocity of the object:

\vec p = m\vec v

If only magnitudes are considered:

p = mv

The car has a mass of m=1,000 kg and travels at v=35 m/s. Calculating its momentum:

p = 1,000 kg * 35 m/s

p = 35,000 kg.m/s

The momentum of the car is 35,000 kg.m/s

A man pushes his child in a grocery cart. The total mass of the cart and child is 30.0 kg. If the force of friction on the cart
Ber [7]
Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces applied to an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration:
\sum F = ma
where in our problem, m is the mass the (child+cart) and a is the acceleration of the system.

We are only concerned about what it happens on the horizontal axis, so there are two forces acting on the cart+child system: the force F of the man pushing it, and the frictional force F_f acting in the opposite direction. So Newton's second law can be rewritten as
F-F_a = ma
or
F=ma + F_f

since the frictional force is 15 N and we want to achieve an acceleration of a=1.50 m/s^2, we can substitute these values to find what is the force the man needs:
F=(30 kg)(1.5 m/s^2)+15 N=60 N

What is the definition of the word amplitude
qwelly [4]

Explanation:

Amplitude, in physics, the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. It is equal to one-half the length of the vibration path. ... Waves are generated by vibrating sources, their amplitude being proportional to the amplitude of the source.
