Answer:
250 N
433 N
Explanation:
N = Normal force by the surface of the inclined plane
W = Weight of the block = 500 N
f = static frictional force acting on the block
Parallel to incline, force equation is given as
f = W Sin30
f = (500) Sin30
f = 250 N
Perpendicular to incline force equation is given
N = W Cos30
N = (500) Cos30
N = 433 N
The ultimate energy source for wind comes from Earth's uneven heating on Earth's surface which can be caused mainly by the sun.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
A diver works in the sea on a day when the atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. The diver uses compressed air to breathe under water. 1700 litres of air from the atmosphere is compressed into a 12-litre gas cylinder. The compressed air quickly cools to its original temperature. Calculate the pressure of the air in the cylinder.
Solution:
Boyles law states that the volume of a given gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas, provided that the temperature is constant.
That is:
P ∝ 1/V; PV = constant
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
Given that P₁ = initial pressure = 101 kPa, V₁ = initial volume = 1700 L, P₂ = cylinder pressure, V₂ = cylinder volume = 12 L. Hence:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
100 kPa * 1700 L = P₂ * 12 L
P₂ = (100 kPa * 1700 L) / 12 L
P₂ = 14308 kPa
