A 1130-kg car is held in place by a light cable on a smooth (frictionless) ramp. The cable makes an angle of 31.0° above the sur

face of the ramp, and the ramp itself rises at 25.0° above the horizontal. Determine the tension in the cable?

Answer:

T = 5163.89 N

Explanation:

Newton's first law:

∑F =0 Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

We define the x-axis in the direction parallel to the movement of the car on the ramp and the y-axis in the direction perpendicular to it.

Forces acting on the car

W: Weight of the car : In vertical direction

FN : Normal force : perpendicular to the ramp

T :Tension force:  at angle of 31.0° above the surface of the ramp

Calculated of the Weight  of the car (W)

W = m*g   m: mass   g:acceleration due to gravity

W =   1130-kg* 9.8 m/s² = 11074 N

x-y weight components

Wx =  11074 N*sin 25.0° = 4680.07 N

Wy = 11074 N*cos 25.0° = 10036.45 N

x-y Tension components

Tx = T*cos 25.0°

Ty = T*sin 25.0°

Newton's first law:

∑Fx =0 Formula (1)

Tx-Wx = 0

T*cos 25.0° - 4680.07 = 0

T*cos 25.0° = 4680.07

T =  4680.07 / cos 25.0°

T = 5163.89 N

If two cars A and B are moving with velocity 60 km/hr and 80 km/hr
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

VAB = 20km/hr

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Velocity of car A, VA = 60km/hr

Velocity of car B, VB = 80km/hr

To find the relative velocity of B w.r.t A, VAB;

Since the two cars are moving in the same direction, we have;

VAB = VB - VA

Substituting into the equation, we have;

VAB = 80 - 60

<em>VAB = 20km/hr</em>

Therefore, the relative velocity of car B with respect to car A is 20 kilometers per hour.

Lightning bolts can carry currents up to approximately 20 kA. We can model such a current as the equivalent of a very long, stra
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

how large a magnetic field would you experience = 8.16 x 10∧-4T

Explanation:

I = 20KA = 20,000A

r = 4.9 m

how large a magnetic field would you experience =  u.I/2πr

how large a magnetic field would you experience = (4π x10∧-7) × 20000/2π × 4.9

how large a magnetic field would you experience = 8.16 x 10∧-4T

Which best describes why Keplers observation of planetary motion is a law instead of a theory
svet-max [94.6K]

Kepler's first law - sometimes referred to as the law of ellipses - explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse. An ellipse can easily be constructed using a pencil, two tacks, a string, a sheet of paper and a piece of cardboard. Tack the sheet of paper to the cardboard using the two tacks. Then tie the string into a loop and wrap the loop around the two tacks. Take your pencil and pull the string until the pencil and two tacks make a triangle (see diagram at the right). Then begin to trace out a path with the pencil, keeping the string wrapped tightly around the tacks. The resulting shape will be an ellipse. An ellipse is a special curve in which the sum of the distances from every point on the curve to two other points is a constant. The two other points (represented here by the tack locations) are known as the foci of the ellipse. The closer together that these points are, the more closely that the ellipse resembles the shape of a circle. In fact, a circle is the special case of an ellipse in which the two foci are at the same location. Kepler's first law is rather simple - all planets orbit the sun in a path that resembles an ellipse, with the sun being located at one of the foci of that ellipse.

To calibrate your calorimeter cup, you first put 45 mL of cold water in the cup, and measure its temperature to be 24.7 °C. You
drek231 [11]

Answer : The heat change of the cold water in Joules is, 1.6\times 10^3J

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mass of cold water.

As we know that the density of water is 1 g/mL. The volume of cold water is 45 mL.

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Mass=Density\times Volume=1g/mL\times 45mL=45g

Now we have to calculate the heat change of cold water.

Formula used :

Q=m\times c\times (T_2-T_1)

where,

Q = heat change of cold water = ?

m = mass of cold water = 45 g

c = specific heat of water = 4.184J/g^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of cold water = 24.7^oC

T_2 = final temperature  = 33.4^oC

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:

Q=45g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (33.4-24.7)^oC

Q=1638.036J=1.6\times 10^3J

Therefore, the heat change of cold water is 1.6\times 10^3J

57. Example of the law of force and acceleration
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Newton's Second Law of Motion says that acceleration (gaining speed) happens when a force acts on a mass (object). Riding your bicycle is a good example of this law of motion at work. Your bicycle is the mass. Your leg muscles pushing pushing on the pedals of your bicycle is the force.
