Answer:

15"

Explanation:

Let x be the length of the longer part, then the length of the shorter part is 3x/5, or also x - 6

therefore we have the following equation:

3x/5 = x - 6

We can multiply both sides by 5

3x = 5x - 6*5

2x = 30

x = 30/2 = 15"

So the length of the longer part is 15"

When you walk across the ground and push on it with your feet...
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The ground pushes back on your feet with equal force

Explanation:

When you walk across the ground and push on it with your feet, the ground pushes back on your feet with an equal and opposite force.

This interpretation and knowledge is gotten from Newton's third law of motion.

It states that "action and reaction force are equal and opposite in nature".

  • The force applied to a body responds with an opposite force in the other direction.
  • Therefore, the reaction force is of equal magnitude but directed in another direction.

A 250 kg crate is placed on an adjustable inclined plane. If the crate slides down the incline with an acceleration of 0.7 m/s2
stepladder [879]

Answer:

21.2 degrees

Explanation:

Let gravitational acceleration constant g = 9.81 m/s2 directed downward. We can calculate the g component that is parallel to the 25 degree incline:

gsin25^0 = 9.81sin25^0 = 4.15 m/s^2

This parallel component would produce an acceleration of the block. But since the net acceleration is only 0.7 m/s2, there's a friction acceleration that hinders g parallel. This acceleration can be calculated by

4.15 - a_f = a = 0.7

a_f = 4.15 - 0.7 = 3.45 m/s^2

The force of friction would be

F_f = a_fm = 250 * 3.45 = 816.5 N

Friction is a product of normal force and its coefficient

F_f = \mu N = \mu mgcos25^0 = \mu 250*9.81*cos25^0 = 2222.72 \mu

\mu = F / 2222.72 = 816.5 / 2222.72 = 0.388

For the crate to slide down at constant speed, the net acceleration must be 0. In other words, the parallel g must be the same as acceleration caused by friction. Let this incline angle be α

g sin\alpha = a_f = F_f/m = \frac{\mu N}{m} = \frac{\mu mgcos\alpha}{m} = \mu g cos\alpha

sin\alpha = \mu cos\alpha

\frac{sin \alpha}{cos \alpha} = \mu

tan\alpha = \mu = 0.388

\alpha = tan^{-1} 0.388 = 0.37 rad = 0.37*180/\pi \approx 21.2^0

Describe a situation where kinetic energy is converted into potential energy
siniylev [52]
1. A spring or elastic can be stretched to store energy as it wants to return to rest.

2. Gravitational every can be is stored by moving a ball against gravity when lifted then released when bounced.

3. Separating two charged plates will store energy as the plates want to return to their original position.

If a stress of 1.05 × 107 n/m2 is applied to his ligament, how much will it stretch? the young\'s modulus for the acl is 1.10 ×
Ainat [17]

As we know that

Young's\: Modulus = \frac{stress}{strain}

here we know that

Young's Modulus = 1.10 \times 10^8

stress = 1.05 \times 10^7

now by the above formula we will have

1.10 \times 10^8 = \frac{1.05 \times 10^7}{strain}

strain = \frac{1.05 \times 10^7}{1.10 \times 10^8}

strain = 0.095

Question :
Alex73 [517]

Answer: Newton's third law simply states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, if object A acts a force upon object B, then object B will exert an opposite yet equal force upon object A
