Answer:
11,100 N
Explanation:
Draw the car on the incline. Label the weight and normal forces. Call the direction normal to the incline y, and the direction parallel to the incline x.
If it helps, rotate the incline so that the surface of the incline is flat.
Use trigonometry to determine the components of the weight force. The y component of the weight is:
Wᵧ = mg cos θ
Wᵧ = (1150 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (cos 8.70°)
Wᵧ = 11,100 N
Answer:
It increases proportionally
Explanation:
The gravitational force between the Earth and an object on its surface is given by
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
m is the mass of the object
R is the Earth's radius
In this problem, the Earth's mass is increased, while the diameter (and therefore, the radius) doesn't change. From the equation, we see that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the Earth's mass: therefore, if the mass is increased, the force will increase as well by the same proportion (for example, if the mass is doubled, the force will double as well)
