The component of the weight of the box along the surface is 34.9N.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given that

Mass of the box m=21kg

Angle of inclination θ=10°

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8 $m/s^{2}$

Weight of an object is the force with which the earth attracts the object. Since weight is a force its unit is Newton(N). When an object is placed on a surface that has no inclination, its weight is given by the expression

W=mg

where m denotes mass of the object and g denotes the acceleration due to gravity.

When the surface has an inclination, the weight of the object can be resolved into two components that are parallel and perpendicular to the surface.

The component of weight parallel to the surface is given by

W=mgsinθ

where θ is the angle of inclination

The component of weight perpendicular to the surface is given by

W=mgcosθ

In the given problem, we have to find out the parallel component of weight

W=mgsinθ

$W=21\times 9.8 \timessin10\°\\=21\times9.8\times0.17\\=34.9N$

The component of the weight of the box along the surface is 34.9N

If it takes 100 N to get a 10 kg object to accelerate at 10m/s/s, how much force will it take to get a 20 kg object to accelerat

yan [13]

Answer: C) 200 N

Explanation:

The force $F$ is defined as:

$F=m.a$

Where:

$m=20 kg$ is the mass of the object

$a=10 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration

Then:

$F=(20 kg)(10 m/s^{2})$

Finally:

$F=200 N$

Hence, the correct option is C.

Explanation:

I HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

So, what is a force? A force is a push or a pull exerted on one object from another. Forces make things move. You can make something start or stop when you push or pull an object.

There are many different types of forces in action in football. A player kicking a football is a force that makes the football fly through the air. A quarterback throwing a football is another example of a force that makes the football fly in a game.

When studying the concept of force, we can look to history to find mathematical principles that guide the laws of motion. Sir Isaac Newton was one of the most famous scientists of the 17th century to study the laws of forces and motion. Through careful study of how objects react to various forces, Newton developed the Three Laws of Motion. Below are explanations of each law and how these laws can be applied to football.

A _____ has to do with the direction of a force

Elenna [48]

Answer:

The "solid force"? ... The direction of the force always seems to be coming out of the solid surface. A direction which is perpendicular to the plane of a surface is said to be normal. The force that a solid surface exerts on anything in the normal direction is called the normal force.
