Answer:

1.9965 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity. The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s².

From the question,

F' = ma................ Equation 1

Where F' = horizontal force, m = mass of the box, a = acceleration of the box.

But,

F' = FcosФ................Equation 2

Where F = Force applied to the box, Ф = angle of between the force and the horizontal.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

FcosФ = ma

make a the subject of the equation

a = FcosФ/m.................... Equation 3

Given: F = 100 N. Ф = 37°, m = 40 kg.

Substitute into equation 3

a = 100(cos37°)/40

a = 100(0.7986)/40

a = 79.86/40

a = 1.9965 m/s²

An automobile having a mass of 2000 kg deflects its suspension springs 0.02 m under static conditions. Determine the nafural fre
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:Frequency = 3.525 Hertz

Explanation:In static equilibrium, kd =mg

Where k= effective spring constant of the spring.

mg= The weight of the car.

d= static deflection.

Therefore, w =SQRTg/d

w = SQRT 9.81/0.02

w= 22.15 rad/sec

Converting to Hertz unit for frequency

1 rad/s = 0.1591

22.15rad/s=?

22.15 × 0.1591= 3.525 hertz

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

the principle of original horizontality and the principle of superposition

Explanation:

The <em>principle of horizontality</em> states that layers of sediment are originally deposited horizontally under the influence of gravity.

The <em>principle of superposition</em> states that the oldest layer layer is at the bottom and each layer above it is younger, with the youngest being at the top.

Unconformities help us find the age of different layers. An unconformity is a surface in which no new solid matter is deposited after a long geologic interval. <em>Angular unconformity </em>is a type of unconformity which different kinds of stratum were tilted or folded before deposition of younger layers of solid matter above the unconformity. Once the layers were folded and tilted, the older layers of the solid matter eroded, then the younger layers were deposited on the older layers. There <em>angular unconformity </em>is the contact between young and old layers of solid matter.

Therefore, these two principles therefore describe how the tilted layers are older than horizontal layers.
