Answer:

734.215N

Explanation:

First we calculate the angle that corresponds to a 5% slope using the Tan-1 function

\beta = tan-1(5%)=2.86

then we use the component that corresponds to the direction parallel to the road, additionally we must multiply by the gravity value to find the weight(g=9.81m/s^2)

Wx=M*g*sen(2.86)=1500kg*9.81*sen(2.86)=734.215N

Answer:

733.47 N

Explanation:

For 5% grade, the elevation of the road is

tanθ = 5/100

θ = tan⁻¹0.05 = 2.86°. Which is the angle of elevation of the road.

The component of the weight parallel to the road is thus mgsinθ = 1500 kg × 9.8 m/s²sin2.86° = 733.47 N

1 newton is the force needed to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass
at the rate of 1 meter per second² .

         1 N = 1 kg-m/s² .

It's a force equal to roughly  3.6 ounces.

An automobile with a standard differential turns sharply to the left. The left driving wheel turns on a 20-m radius. Distance be
Inessa05 [86]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    Inner wheel Radius = 20 m,

   Distance between left and right wheel = 1.5m,

Let us assume speed of drive shaft is N rpm.

Formula to calculate angular velocity is as follows.

    Angular velocity of automobile = w = \frac{V}{R}

where,   V = linear velocity of automobile m/min,

              R = turning radius from automobile center in meter

In the given case, angular velocity remains same for inner and outer wheel but there is change in linear velocity of inner wheel and outer wheel.

Now, we assume that

         u = linear velocity of inner wheel

and,   u' = linear velocity of outer wheel.

Formula for angular velocity of inner wheel w = ,

Formula for angular velocity of outer wheel w =

Now, for inner wheels

                   w =

                      = \frac{u}{(R - d)}

                  u = V \times \frac{(R - d)}{R}

                    = V \times (1 - \frac{d}{R})

If radius of wheel is r it will cover  distance in one min.

Since, velocity of wheel is u it will cover distance u in unit time(min)

Thus,             u = 2\pi rn = V \times (1 - \frac{d}{R})

Now, rotation per minute of inner wheel is calculated as follows.

         n = \frac{V}{2 \pi r \times (1 - \frac{d}{R})}

            = \frac{V}{2 \pi r \times (1 - \frac{0.75}{20})} (since 2d = 1.5m given, d = 0.75m),

             = \frac{V}{r} \times 0.1532

So, rotation per minute of outer wheel; n' =  

                   = \frac{V}{2 \pi r \times (1 + \frac{0.75}{20})}

                   = \frac{V}{r} \times 0.1651

At what water temperature will additional heat energy need to be added before the temperature will change again?
Lostsunrise [7]
That would be 0 degrees Celsius aka the melting point of water.... If you look at the diagram I attached you notice that at 0 degrees Celsius it is flat, this is because much heat is needed at this point for water to rise to 1 degree... It is the same for the boiling point (100)<span />
