The force exerted by gravity is:

F = m g

F = 3300 kg * 9.8 m/s^2

F = 32,430 N

 

The force exerted due to the inclined plane is:

F tractor = 32,430 N * sin 14

<span>F tractor = 7,823.75 N      (answer)</span>

a plane flying due east at 395 km/h, is hit by wind blowing at 55 km/h toward the west. what is the resultant velocity of the pl
Aleonysh [2.5K]
In this case, you simply use subtraction to find out the velocity.  If the plane is flying at 395 km/h and is being blown by 55 km.h wind the other way, the velocity of the plane is 395 - 55.

395 km/h - 55 km/h = 340 km/h

So, the final velocity of the plane is 340 km/h east.

Find the voltage drop (in volt) along a 93.4 meter long 10 gauge copper wire carrying acurrent of 72.5 A. The diameter of a 10 g
Sophie [7]

Answer: 5.41 V

Explanation:in order to explain this result we have to use the Ohm law given by:

ΔV=R*I where R is the resistance which is equal R= ρ*L/A . ρ is the resistivity, L the length of the wire and A is the cross section. I is the current.

Then we have

ΔV=ρ*L*I/A= 1.68 * 10^-8 Ωm*93.4 m*72.5A/2.1* 10^-5 m^2=5.41 V

A very slow motion of earth's axis that requires 26,000 years to complete is called ________.
agasfer [191]

The answer is axial precession. Axial precession refers to the very slow motion of the Earth’s axis, which almost requires twenty-six thousand (26,000) years to complete a full rotation. This Axial Precession is caused by the effects of gravitational pull from the Sun and the Moon towards the Earth.

A thin, metallic spherical shell of radius 0.187 m has a total charge of 6.53×10−6 C placed on it. A point charge of 5.15×10−6 C
MAVERICK [17]

Answer: a) 112.88 * 10^3 N/C; b) The electric field point outward from the center of the sphere.

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the gaussian law so we use a gaussian surface at r=0.965 m and the electric flux is equal to Q inside/εo

E* 4*π*r^2= Q inside/εo

E= k*Q inside/r^2= 9*10^9*(6.53+5.15)μC/(0.965)^2=122.88 * 10 ^3 N/C

If you lose control of your vehicle and collide with a fixed object, such as a tree, at 60 m.p.h., the force of impact is the sa
My name is Ann [436]
You can compare the velocity of the car, 60 mph, with the velocity that a mass would acquire when falls from certain height.

First, convert 60 mph to m/s:

60 miles/h * 1.60 km/mile * 1000 m/km * 1h/3600s = 26.67 m/s

Second, calculate from what height a body in free fall reachs 26.67 m/s velocity when hits the floor.

free fall => Vf^2 = 2g*H => H = Vf^2 / (2g)

H = (26.67m/s)^2 / (2*9.8 m/s) = 36.2 m

If you consider that the height between the floors of a building is approximately 3.6 m, you get 36.2 m / 3.6 m/floor = 10 floors.

Then, you conclude that the force of impact is the same as driving you vehicle off a 10 story building.
