Answer:While workers use salt to melt ice they rely on sand for improved traction

Explanation:Sand increases friction and help prevent vehicle tires from slipping on silk roads making traveling easier, Salt can also help prevent new ice from forming on roads

A 3.2-kg thin, circular hoop with a radius of 5.4 m is rotating about an axis through its center and perpendicular to its plane.

Answer:

Torque = –207.4 Nm

Explanation:

Given M = 3.2kg, r = 5.4m, α = –12rad/s² (it is slowing down)

Torque = I × α

α = angular acceleration

I = moment of inertia

I = MR² for a circular hoop

Torque = 3.2×5.4×(– 12)

Torque = –207.4 Nm

Force F → = (−8.0 N)iˆ + (6.0 N)jˆ acts on a particle with position vector r → = (3.0 m)iˆ + (4.0 m)jˆ. What are (a) the torque

disa [49]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

$F=-8\hat{i}+6\hat{j}$

$r=3\hat{i}+4\hat{j}$

a.We have to find the torque on the particle about the origin.

We know that

Torque= $\tau=r\times F=\begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\3&4&0\\-8&6&0\end{vmatrix}$

By using the formula

$\tau=50\hat{k}$

b. $\mid \tau\mid =\mid F\mid \mid r\mid sin\theta$

$\mid F\mid=\sqrt{(-8)^2+(6)^2}=10$

$\mid r\mid=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}=5$

$\mid \tau\mid=\sqrt{(-50)^2}=50$

Substitute the values then we get

$50=10\times 5 sin\theta$

$sin\theta=\frac{50}{50}=1$

$sin\theta=sin90^{\circ}$

Because $sin90^{\circ}=1$

$\theta=90^{\circ}$

Intelligence test. If you get it right ,you are a critical thinker. You were in the garden,there are 34 people in the yard. You

bagirrra123 [75]

The riddle is solved by knowing that there is only one person left in the garden and that is you.

<h3>How many people are in the garden?</h3>

We are told that there were a total of 34 people in the yard. We do not know if these people are in the garden or somewhere around the yard. The next information we have is that a total of 30 persons were killed.

Since you killed them in the garden, the others may still be lurking somewhere in the yard thus there is only one person left in the garden and that is you.
