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

andriy [413]

Answer:

85413.20177 W

2050.831684248 kWh

184.5748512 dollars

Explanation:

d = Diameter of blade = 100 m

r = Radius = $\dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{100}{2}=50\ m$

$\eta$ = Efficiency = 0.34

$\rho$ = Density of air = 1.25 kg/m³

V = Velocity of wind = 8 m/s

A = Area = $\pi r^2$

The power of a wind turbine is given by

$P=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho AV^3\eta\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.25\times \pi\times 50^2\times 8^3\times 0.34\\\Rightarrow P=854513.20177\ W$

The power is 85413.20177 W

Energy is given by

$E=Pt\\\Rightarrow E=854513.20177\times 24\\\Rightarrow E=20508316.84248\ Wh\\\Rightarrow E=2050.831684248\ kWh$

The energy is 2050.831684248 kWh

The revenue is given by

$0.09\times 2050.831684248=184.5748512\$$

The revenue generated is 184.5748512 dollars

compare the distance time graph for a fast-moving object with the distance time graph of a slower moving object

soldi70 [24.7K]

The slope of the distance/time graph is the speed of the moving object.
So the graph for a fast moving object will have a greater slope than the
graph for a slower moving object has.

What is the circle of least confusion?

Artist 52 [7]

Answer and Explanation:

In optics, a CoC(Circle of Confusion) is defined the minimum cross section of a paraxial bundle of rays made by a lens which is sphero-cylindrical type and can be viewed as an optical spot, which do not converge perfectly at the focus while a point source is being imaged due to spherical aberration.

The Circle of Confusion is also referred to as circle of indistinctness or a blur spot
